Isn’t the respondent called Mac absolutely awful?

People have all kinds of different perspectives, so you don’t have to take every answer here to heart. Just make good use of whatever you find helpful. By the way, I always look forward to Mac’s answers♪ They’re so out there and entertaining, and it’s not often you come across someone like that lol.

I also feel that there are fewer reasonable questions than anything else. I imagine there are plenty of low-quality questions that even women read and think, “People actually ask this?” A woman I’m seeing said something similar before. As others have mentioned, the best solution is simply to skip over Mac’s answers. And honestly, it’s laughable for the person asking the question to worry about the dignity of a message board run by someone else’s company. You should stop doing that.

I’m a confused woman in my 60s who was once told by Mac-san that I give “refreshingly upbeat answers that are the polar opposite of his own.” That’s why I’m often inspired by the perspectives in Mac-san’s answers, and I absolutely love them. If there’s something you love, some people will take it to mean there’s something you hate, too. Isn’t that okay? Variety makes things interesting, after all, haha.

You’re free to think it’s awful. All the more reason to learn how to live without letting it control you—or get under your skin.

People have different ways of thinking, and different ways of expressing themselves. > So is the club turning a blind eye because he’s a so-called generous (well-paying) client? I don’t think that’s the issue. Even if someone is a generous (well-paying) client, men whose behavior is truly bad or who receive excessively serious complaints from women are forcibly expelled from the club. I think the club has decided that losing the trust of its female members—and having them quit—is more damaging than losing the profits from a generous client. > Since this is a question box seen by a lot of people, shouldn’t we consider whether the respondents have any dignity? I think trying to steer the answers toward being more “dignified” simply because many people will see them would make the question box less interesting and less valuable. If every answer is basically the same, like slices from the same mold, is that really interesting? Censorship benefits no one. There are answers from all kinds of perspectives. If you think, “I don’t like this respondent,” or “I can’t agree with what this person says,” you can simply skip it. Newspapers in the UK and the US each have their own perspectives, and they openly state from the start which political party they lean toward. That’s what makes each paper interesting. It’s fine for Japanese newspapers to claim they are “impartial and nonpartisan,” but since they all use essentially the same tone, they’re not interesting at all. Precisely because there are different viewpoints, readers can compare them and reconsider which way of thinking they agree with. I think that kind of perspective is media literacy. At first, there were lots of things about Mac-san’s way of expressing himself that I found difficult to understand too. But as I got used to it, I started feeling that his answers offered a lot of insights and things to learn. Even if you don’t agree with Mac-san’s answers, you can still realize: “Oh, so that’s one way of thinking about it!” Don’t you think that’s incredibly valuable? > This is extremely unpleasant. I won’t deny that this is how you honestly feel. But I do think it’s a little different to expect other people to share that feeling too. Sorry, I got seriously earnest there m(_ _)m It’s Me

I believe no one can deny the feeling of thinking, “I feel that way.” After all, it would be strange for someone else to tell you that you don’t feel what you yourself feel. So no one should deny the questioner’s feelings of discomfort, either. Before agreeing or disagreeing with the questioner, if something makes them uncomfortable, others should acknowledge that. However, I think it’s misguided for the questioner to post something with the implication, “If it makes me uncomfortable, don’t write it or answer.” Just as the questioner’s feelings deserve to be respected, other people’s feelings deserve to be respected by the questioner as well. If Mac’s answer makes you uncomfortable, it’s perfectly fine to feel that way. Please skip Mac’s answers and don’t read them. That is the solution the questioner should take, and posting something like this in the Q&A box is inappropriate. Thank you for your understanding.

Female member, Potassium here. I don’t think it’s harsh at all. Sometimes I do wonder whether there are any real tricks to begin with. But if we share tips here on how women in papa-katsu can handle things skillfully, won’t they stop working on the male members who read this site? So sometimes I think, “Whoa, that was close.” Also, when I read through the posts, there are quite a few that make me think, “Oh, that’s an interesting way of looking at it!” So they’re useful to me too. Precisely because some of the content is so tough, I think there’s a lot to learn from it. Whether you see being told the truth plainly as harsh or as something to be grateful for makes a difference in how much you grow mentally. Since the club has all kinds of people, I feel it’s important to learn from them. A lot of people read this, so I hope everyone will ask questions with some dignity. Ah—just my personal opinion, of course.

Haha, lol. Mac is quite the character, after all. But please don’t tease him too much. If you read an answer once, take a little time, and then read it again, you may find yourself thinking, “Hmm… maybe they have a point?” Some answers can actually feel quite heartwarming. Rather than focusing on just one aspect of an answer, it can be interesting to look beneath the surface. It’s also fun to reread answers from different angles—sometimes with a little skepticism—and try to understand what the person really meant, lol.

I disagree. Have there been any sensible questions lately? Has Mac ever bragged in his answers?
