For those of you who belong to a dating club, do your club activities or dates with your partners help motivate you at work?

I imagine many of the female respondents work as well as the male members, so I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I started my own company relatively young, and perhaps because I didn’t have to struggle much, I’ve managed to get by without ever achieving what you’d call great success.
When I was young, a senior I respected told me, “A man’s life is about taking risks.” Yet now, all these years later, I’ve come to realize that I may never have taken a real risk at all.
So last month, I decided to liquidate every asset I could turn into cash and launch a new business. (Though all I really did was make money in the stock market.) The catalyst was one woman. In that sense, I suppose you could call it a boost in motivation?
But first, I’ll be heading to Nice this weekend. Repeating to myself that there’s absolutely no way we’ll lose to England, I’ll be taking to the skies.

It doesn’t really boost my motivation at work.
It’s more about taking a breather and changing my mood—having someone to talk to about things other than work.
That’s the kind of relationship I’m looking for.

Likewise, I don’t think it has particularly helped boost my motivation.
That said, I do think having fulfilling activities outside of work helps me maintain my motivation.
While it’s not directly related to motivation, one positive effect on my work is that spending time with people different from those I usually interact with lets me see things I normally wouldn’t notice. You rarely get to see the real-life complaints and personal lives of office workers elsewhere.

I don’t think this activity has any particular effect on my work.
If I had to name one benefit—which overlaps with my answer to the previous question—it helps me avoid unnecessary trouble by giving me a way to relieve stress without doing so close to home.

I keep my job and my club activities completely separate, so in my case, I don’t think one really affects the other.
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
My job is so easy these days that I find myself checking the club’s page whenever I have a spare moment.

Rather than worrying about your motivation at work, you should focus on succeeding and building up enough financial breathing room first—then enjoy papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
That sounds pretty glib. I guess that’s the modern way of thinking?
If I were giving you a tough-love lecture from a Showa-era perspective, I’d say: while you’re young, you need to be much more single-minded about your work!
I hope this helps.
