I've lost confidence. I've struck out repeatedly with women who are Relationship Type B. But if I'm going to date someone, I feel I'd rather be with a Type B woman than a Type C woman.

I’m Joe, a columnist and male member. I’ll leave the detailed, definitive answer to the formidable Papa-katsu gentleman, but I wanted to send you a word of encouragement from Joe. It depends on what you consider a loss, but if you mean not being able to build an ongoing relationship, I think a string of failures is perfectly normal. Please don’t give up. The worst thing you can do is lose confidence in yourself. I hope you find a good person and build a good relationship. *This message is also coming from Joe, who’s been on a losing streak, so feel free to take it lightly.*

Maezawa here. Is it possible that you joined and immediately started going for Type B arrangements? I think it might be better to first make offers to women who are Type C, so you can get a feel for what a dating club is like. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Type C women are easy. There’s about a 50% chance that a Type C woman will agree to continue seeing you after dinner. In other words, one out of every two will turn you down. So, I’d recommend first dating Type C women and gaining experience until you can raise that 50% success rate to over 90%. It may even be below 50% at first. If that happens, there could be an issue with the restaurant, the topics you discuss during dinner, what you’re wearing, or the way you ask her to continue seeing you. There may be some kind of problem. But as you gain experience, you may start to understand what aspects the women you meet are paying attention to. If you genuinely can’t think of anything, ask a staff member. The best person to ask would be a staff member you’ve actually met. You could meet with them in person and ask what you should do, or ask the staff member who interviewed you when you first joined. They’ll probably suggest something along the lines of, “Why don’t you try doing it this way?” Once you’ve gotten the hang of it, I think it would be best to take on your main goal: Type B arrangements. They say, “The long way around is often the quickest way there.”
