Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my question.

I’m Rin, a female SALON member. Unlike you, I don’t have a high level of education, but I have very little experience with men. Even so, I’ve been able to register with SALON and take part in its activities. I decided to register because I wanted to see a new world—I’ve only ever known a very small one. Since SALON doesn’t work through offers, it’s difficult to meet many people, but I’m doing my best to improve myself in the hope that I’ll have more introductions. I’m also very grateful to SALON. I’m glad I decided to register. Perhaps you should go to an interview once, meet the staff, and hear what they have to say.

Maezawa from the president’s office will answer as well. > I’m assuming that many of the female members enjoying relationships through Universe Club are probably quite experienced. That assumption is incorrect. Many perfectly ordinary women register with us, so their level of experience is also quite ordinary. I believe men are interested in being able to meet ordinary women. Naturally, there are all kinds of men. Some prefer experienced women, while others prefer women with no experience. > Would there be any demand for an amateur like me, who isn’t very accustomed to men? There certainly is. There are also men who like virgins, so you would almost certainly receive offers. That said, I’m not sure why the staff would assign you an ordinary class. Since the question is whether you will receive offers, I think your class could reasonably be raised by one level, just as it might be for other popular traits—for example, being a CA or announcer, or having a bust size of G or above. In reality, we do not make such adjustments, so you are still almost certain to receive offers. > I’m actually very interested, but I’ve never had the opportunity, and that’s how things have remained. Many men consider that kind of relationship perfectly normal, so if you register, plenty of opportunities will come your way. > I’m proud to say that I attend a university generally considered to be highly prestigious. That is also appealing to some men. So if you attend a well-known university, you are almost certain to receive offers. > If there is a tendency to prefer women who listen and compliment men over women who express their own opinions, I’m worried that this might be a disadvantage. Generally speaking, that may be true. But there are also men who prefer women who express their opinions. In any case, that mainly affects how things go from the second meeting onward, so I don’t think it will affect whether you receive an offer. > I especially enjoy listening to older people and learning new things from them, so I thought a dating club might actually suit me. I can’t say whether it will be educational, but many men enjoy talking, so I think it probably would suit you. > Perhaps because I’m naturally cautious, I haven’t been able to work up the courage… If you’re worried about whether you’ll pass the interview, you could say something like: “I’m a virgin, and I’m considering having my first experience with a man from this club. However, I think it would be difficult to do that right away, so I’m type B.” If you attend the interview with that kind of approach, and you have an ordinary build, I think you should pass. I believe it would be perfectly fine for you to come in for an interview.

I’m Aya, a female member. If you’re so cautious that you’re scared, I think you’re better off staying away. Apparently, my profile says I’m highly educated too. It’s true that I went to a fairly unusual university in the dating-club world, but I’ve always been very curious. Whether it was studying or traveling abroad alone, I was the type who tried anything I wanted to do while I was a student. I’m cautious, but I also act boldly when the situation calls for it, so I was able to enjoy the unfamiliar world of dating clubs. If you have a bold side as well, I think a dating club might suit you. But judging from your question, it sounds like it may be difficult. I’m not saying this to be harsh, but you’re probably better off staying away. This is a frightening world where all kinds of strange creatures lurk.

This is Joe. I liked the way you expressed yourself, honestly. It may come across as a little stiff, but I think it’s harmless enough to respond with something like, “Wow, aren’t you serious?” Still, there are many experienced people here, and I’m sure their opinions are based on something. So, although it feels a bit presumptuous for me to say this, my view—as someone who attended one of the middle and high schools known as the “Big Three”—is that you should at least listen with an “Understood” attitude. I hope you have a wonderful encounter.

I’m a loser among the male members. Unlike you, I’m extremely uneducated. I was hopelessly bad at studying and could never make anything of it, but once I entered the real world, I gradually realized that footwork and stamina are what really determine who wins or loses. I eventually learned how to out-earn those University of Tokyo types. In other words, even if you graduated from Harvard, that only means you have a high academic pedigree. Whether you can make money in business or hold your own in society is a completely different matter. Of course, it’s true that more Harvard graduates earn more than junior-high-school graduates. But right now, you’re someone with “potential,” and I don’t think that alone will get you very far with the seasoned veterans here. That said, I don’t want you to lose. The papa-katsu world is full of veteran papas who are good at outsmarting highly educated, slightly sassy women and getting them to open their legs. I truly hope you can tame one of those veteran papas and land yourself a generous allowance. If you’re naturally smart, keep coming up with strategies. Then I want you to make a triumphant declaration here: “I totally got a high allowance out of some idiot papa♪ Oh ho ho♡” Good luck! I don’t dislike you at all—in fact, if anything, I rather like you. There’s something adorable about you. It would be nice if we could meet somewhere someday♪

You don’t need to ramble on and brag about it like that. These days, getting into the University of Tokyo isn’t even that difficult anymore… unlike in our day… Paper Airplane

I’m Kazu, a male member. First, I think some men do prefer women who aren’t used to being around men. Men’s preferences vary widely from person to person. As for whether men like women who listen to them and express their own opinions, that also depends on the individual. I’m sure some men do prefer that kind of woman. I do too—but only when she’s actually capable of expressing a reasonably well-formed opinion. If, at twenty, all she can do is brag about her entrance-exam偏差値, I wouldn’t expect much of an “opinion” from her. In that case, I’d have more fun talking about penises and vaginas.

I’m Ayase Nana ☆ Instead of overthinking everything, book your interview once business resumes after New Year’s. No matter how much you think things through, it won’t suddenly change the way you speak or carry yourself in the moment. If an unpleasant man pressures you into going out with him, you can simply say no if you don’t want to. Also, you’re young, right? Please don’t say “当方” (“this person”)—it makes you sound like, “I, so-and-so, do hereby declare!” You’ll understand if you look through the question box history. Men are looking for ordinary women. If you’re someone who can do all sorts of things, you might as well work in the adult entertainment industry. You only live once, so stop overthinking and go to the interview.
