K, you seem to be very popular and sought-after. It’s clear from your answers that you’re quite intelligent as well, though you do seem to get frustrated from time to time.

Are you referring to K, the respondent, as Paper Airplane or me? Sorry if there’s another K as well. First of all, I don’t think having a successful relationship with a particular person counts as being popular. And I don’t think getting women to fawn over you because you give them an allowance counts as being popular either. If you’re referring to me as respondent K, I hate being pestered. Come to think of it, is there anyone who actually likes being pestered? This sometimes comes up when the respondents talk about questioners. Regardless of gender, people who aren’t very bright probably won’t do well with papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). There are many questioners who make me wonder how they manage to get through everyday life, so compared with them, I consider myself fairly intelligent. If there is a secret to making relationships with people work, I think it’s to avoid shutting off your thinking by reducing everything to vague talk about “secrets,” “tips,” or generalities. After all, relationships involve another person. Why not start by stopping yourself from asking pointless questions in the question box?
