I’m a female member, and I’d like to hear men’s opinions. For example, when going to a high-end restaurant, which is better: a woman who acts like it’s her first time having such a wonderful experience, or one who acts like she’s used to being treated well?

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ I read Nonta’s answer and thought, “That makes sense.” A sense of gratitude… that’s lovely. Personally, I don’t really care either way, but I dislike “lies, exaggerations, and misleading behavior.” I hate anything that’s a hassle. I’m not fond of the Minato-ku girls who walk into a restaurant and immediately tell the chef, “This place looks delicious…” (I can’t help thinking, “Try the food first, then say that.”) Even women who know how to hold a fork but not chopsticks, or who wait for the man to eat before putting sushi in their mouths, are too much trouble for me. I like women who eat hot food while it’s still hot. Chefs notice these kinds of mannerisms when they’re sizing someone up. When someone at a place like Robuchon ends up eating too much bread during the first half of the meal, I find it kind of cute. After all, I’m taking her to a restaurant, so it makes me happy when she eats a lot. Also, I don’t think women ever quote a lower allowance than they actually want. Men have their own standards too, and generally treat it as a nice bonus if the amount is lower than they expected. Rather than trying to force yourself to make things work, it’s better for a relationship to last when you naturally spend time with men whose terms suit you, among all the offers you receive. Even if you make all kinds of efforts to keep a relationship going, some things simply don’t last.
