In a previous post, Itsumi-san said they wanted to be an “age-chin,” and although we’re the same gender, it made me want to become that kind of person for someone special I’m seeing too.

I feel uncomfortable being fawned over, so when I genuinely like something, I simply say so. Rather than trying too hard to please them, I think it’s better to face each other honestly and aim for a fair relationship.

I don’t really compliment her, so I don’t think it’s particularly necessary. It’s perfectly fine not to compliment her at all. I think what matters is that you both need and acknowledge each other, and that you can feel those things coming across between you. The woman feels comfortable, soothed, relaxed, and at ease. She doesn’t have to worry about what she says, and can speak her mind. She can go wherever she wants and enjoy the restaurants she wants to visit. The man treats her kindly and thoughtfully, and seems to genuinely enjoy and feel happy being with her. Even casual conversation flows naturally, and before you know it, the time has flown by… That’s probably the kind of feeling I mean. In any case, I do think you need to convey through your actions and overall atmosphere that you’re having fun, feeling happy, and truly need her. At the core of my beliefs is the idea that men are able to live in this world because the wonderful beings known as women exist. Women can also do so many things that men cannot. They are not merely members of the opposite sex, but beings who inspire a sense of awe and respect.

I’ve hardly ever given compliments. Above all, I think women appreciate it when you treat them kindly. And treating them like a lady is a given. Most women also say that the kind of man they want to meet is usually someone kind and gentle-tempered.
