Calling people "Sekovich," "Sankon," or "Ghosn" is unbelievably disrespectful and vulgar—to the male members, the female members, and the people themselves.

I’m Dried-Up Poop-Taro, five hours after taking a dump. Sekovich, Sankon, Gon, and all that? They’re honestly not funny. Even putting the allowance issue aside, they don’t work as jokes at all. At the end of the day, it’s just the kind of annoying shtick you see all over the internet. On a hardcore message board like this, everyone else has already come full circle and started acting serious, while these people are still half a lap behind. If you find it boring, just skip it. The reason you react is because, deep down, you actually find it funny.

I see this Q&A forum as a kind of “panel-show comedy,” so I’d be happiest if everyone got along and the group banter really clicked. Even if we have different opinions, I think it’s fine as long as everyone can play their part. Matayoshi Matazo is okay once in a while, too. I wouldn’t mind having him on the panel about once a year. But having him as a regular all the time would be rough, lol.

> At the very least, couldn’t something be done about the respondents? First, try bringing it up with the staff member in charge at your branch. If they agree that there’s a valid point, they’ll contact us internally. Once we hear from them, we may also warn the person in question. That said, in principle, most people are free to say what they think. I believe that’s precisely why they’re willing to answer even without receiving any compensation. Of course, there still needs to be some degree of restraint. Finding the right balance here is quite difficult, and I don’t fully understand it myself either. If anything, though, it seems that greater emphasis is placed on freedom of expression.

They seem pleased when you point things out, so it’s best to just let it slide. Marika

“Really? That’s what you’re focusing on?” I agree it was rude and lacking in class, but expecting much class from a Q&A box full of questions about sex and money seems a bit much. For now, please direct your requests to the branch office. That said, people have apparently been asking for a while whether something can be done about that respondent, or about Maezawa’s answers, but I don’t think anything has ever come of it. Unless someone like Kida-san starts asking, “Can’t something be done about this?”, I doubt anything will change.

If the papa is someone women genuinely want to date—or a highly popular papa—I don’t think there’s any real need for the allowance to exceed 50,000 yen. If anything above 60,000 yen gives the impression that most papas require compensation just to be tolerated, it could also risk women sharing negative reviews. I think that could very well end up going in the opposite direction from what “Makeo” is hoping for. —Paper Airplane

Everyone answers according to the site’s guidelines—for example, by not lying or exaggerating. In the past, when Make-Otoko posted under a different name, Maezawa pointed it out. Since no one has raised an issue this time, I assume it’s considered acceptable. Compared with former president Kida’s “fuck,” names like Sekobitch, Sankon, and Ghosn are pretty harmless. If an answer doesn’t suit you, you can simply ignore it. The male respondents here have no complaints against them, so they all conduct themselves like gentlemen when dating women. If you don’t want to play on the same field as the questioner, then I think you should just quit this game.

I became a respondent solely to raise the going rate for allowances from 5 to 6. At first, I quietly kept saying only: “Universe’s going rate for an adult relationship is 6 or higher!” But since that didn’t spark even the slightest movement, I’m simply changing my approach. You’re a man, aren’t you? You’re welcome to criticize me. In fact, when men criticize me, it reassures me that I must be heading in the right direction, so I appreciate it. Please become a respondent yourself and help raise the going rate for adult relationships. Start a movement in your own way. It’s easy to criticize from the sidelines. The first penguin is always the one who has the hardest time. I’m not going to play it safe. I use the same style in business. Being the first penguin is genuinely difficult, but if you discover treasure, you can monopolize it. The reason I became wealthy is that I kept being the first penguin, covered in wounds and blood, and carved out a blue ocean on my own. There’s absolutely no way the going rate for an adult relationship should be 5 or less. Wouldn’t it be better to seriously consider what it means to hand over to some old man the precious, precious young body you received from your parents—because you were truly, truly desperate for money? Why don’t you use protection? Why do you try to meet women without even cleaning yourself up? Why don’t you go to a clinic for your bad breath? Why is the allowance only 5? If you don’t have money, I won’t say anything. But if you spend money on your own clothes, food, car, and home, then offering a woman the Carlos Ghosn rate—5 or less pay-per-meeting—is beyond rude. It’s downright insulting, in my opinion. That is what “I think.” I’m not asking the old men to agree with me, but I’m sure many of the women are nodding along. Look at my past answers. See how many likes they’ve received. And for the record, Carlos Ghosn is a criminal and an absolutely terrible person. I may be a bad person too, but I can’t compete with Ghosn. The root of the allowance problem is women dragging other women down. Also, “agreement” and “compromise” may sound similar, but they’re entirely different things. With a few exceptions, do you really think women genuinely agree to 5 pay-per-meeting? That isn’t agreement—it’s compromise. Anyway, sooner or later, someone at Universe will probably warn me behind the scenes and have me removed. If I stop posting answers, assume that’s what happened. If that happens, the Carlos Ghosns will be delighted, while the female members who want higher allowances will mourn my passing… won’t they? lol **Addendum** Since joining, I’ve been providing the staff with information on which women I gave how much allowance to. I was doing this even before becoming a respondent. papa-katsu is a business too, so I want not only the papas but Universe to benefit as well. That’s why I provide them with all kinds of information that would otherwise be difficult to obtain, including allowance figures and examples of successful and unsuccessful letter dates. Given the fact that many of the women I’ve offered to have since left the club, I’m sure Universe has verified behind the scenes that the amount of my allowances is neither a lie nor an exaggeration. If my allowances were low, the women wouldn’t leave. And I’ve never once told anyone to quit. On the contrary, I’ve asked the staff to increase the number of offers made to my monthly arrangements, and when I meet a wonderful woman, I tell her about TheSalon and recommend her to the staff. Maezawa and the others know all of this. That must be why I haven’t been removed as a respondent. “He’s an obnoxious bastard, but at least his words and actions match—that Make-Otoko guy.” I don’t know, though. lol **Addendum 2** Thank you for all the likes. I’ll keep doing my best for all of you who support me, so please check the question box again sometime. And maybe we’ll meet somewhere. I don’t go to TheSalon or any other dating club. I only operate through Universe, so if you happen to meet a short, fat, bald, foul-mouthed old man offering 10 or higher pay-per-meeting, please ask, “Are you perhaps Make-Otoko?” As a reward for anyone who figures out my true identity, I’ll raise your allowance to 15 or higher pay-per-meeting to keep you quiet. m(_ _)m **Addendum 3** Ayase Nana, sorry this got so long. m(__)m The fact that I’m explaining something simple in such a complicated way really exposes how poor my natural intelligence is, doesn’t it? sweat.

I’m not even sure whether “Makeotoko” really exists, so I’d like to meet him in person at least once and confirm for myself. I agree with what you’re saying. Of course, it’s always nice to receive a larger allowance, but as long as both parties are happy with the arrangement, I think any amount is fine. It’s really nobody else’s place to comment on it. I’m no perfect lady myself, so I’ll keep working on myself.
