For the girl who’s your favorite among your papa-katsu partners, what kinds of things do you do for her?

Rather than having a “number one,” I choose just one person and treat her almost like a spouse. As for financial support, I don’t focus on a specific amount—I try to keep her at roughly the same level as myself. We meet about 12 times a month, and we’re intimate roughly once every three or four meetings.

I can’t decide who should be my top choice. Each of them has their pros and cons, and they’re all good in different ways. I usually go on a date once a month, and we generally have two rounds when we meet. Only one of them says she doesn’t want to do it twice, so with her it’s just once—but that’s because she’s satisfied even with one.

I usually see one person in each area, and I don’t really treat anyone differently, whether we met through the club or outside of it. How often we meet depends on the area, and how often we have an adult relationship depends on the person—I don’t do it every time. The allowance and meal budget—usually around ¥20,000–¥50,000—as well as the frequency of gifts (White Day, Christmas, birthdays, or just on a whim) and the budget for them (whatever feels right) are basically the same for everyone. That said, it also depends on the person, since these things can influence a girl’s sense of money. I try to make each of them feel that she’s the most important to me, including in the way I treat her. And from my perspective, there really is no ranking—they’re all number one.

So she’s always your number one, no matter what… Since we see each other frequently, we’re intimate every two or three days sometimes, and only once or twice a month at other times. We’re not the kind of pair who wants intimacy every time we meet, so we see each other so often that I honestly can’t keep track of how frequently it happens. The girl who’s third in line is very money-minded (in a good way), so she’s fine with being intimate several days in a row or three times a week. She’s happy about it, so I’m hooked and keep putting in the effort. Oh, and in terms of compatibility, the number-one girl is currently one of the best I’ve ever had. The third-place girl is simply pretty good.

It’s Fullerene! In the end, I guess it comes down to how often you’re in touch. If someone is a favorite, they naturally come to mind more often, which seems to make it easier to reply to them quickly. Some women are struggling with long-winded “uncle LINE” messages, while others are worried because they haven’t heard from someone after a first meeting… Life is full of ups and downs. Oh, and in my case, I probably meet my favorites three or four times a month. If they’re the type who enjoys traveling, we also take a few trips farther away each year.

Are you trying to gauge the “cost” on the assumption that your top favorite gets showered with expensive gifts and lavish experiences, and then quantify the cost-effectiveness of a successful dating-club arrangement based on the number of times you get H in return?（笑） Once the other respondents wake up, they may post some incredible stories, but I’m extremely low-key and don’t do anything special. If I like someone, I simply tell her I like her. I only have one top favorite. If she feels the same way, it becomes a good relationship, but I don’t exactly give her gifts, and my allowance is average at best, if not below average. I do share good restaurants and wonderful experiences with her, but my general sense of “expensive” is when a meal for two costs more than ¥20,000. I don’t think it correlates that much with price. If I like someone, I’ll probably see her at least once a week. If you like someone, you want to see her, and a man who uses a dating club should be able to make time for himself. Conversely, if you don’t like someone, it may be hard for either a man or a woman to enjoy seeing her every week. Ah, but I guess that wasn’t the answer you were looking for. Sorry. In terms of quantifying cost-effectiveness, the basic cost per meeting is the allowance, plus the cost of amortizing the introduction fees paid to meet that woman. If you find someone you really click with, you may see her dozens of times, so as long as you’re searching for the right person, the numbers will work out no matter how many women you make offers to. I think the important thing is to keep looking for women who meet your terms without compromising. Taro
