I was the one who asked about filling out the club’s survey. Thank you, Mr. Maezawa, for your response.

The survey isn’t a work report for the company. If something particularly unpleasant happened, please write about it so other female members won’t have to go through the same thing, and so the club can weed out strange male members. That said, writing emotionally can make it sound more like a complaint, so try to calmly state the facts and report them to the club.

If we’re talking about being just a few minutes over, that might seem overly strict. But if they went beyond the agreed time, I think it’s entirely up to you whether to leave low feedback and mention it in the survey. I don’t think there are any particular restrictions on feedback itself, so it should be fine to use your own judgment. Whether you’re on the man’s side or the woman’s side, as long as there are no issues with your conduct, I don’t think being matched with someone who happens to be very strict with ratings will have much impact on your overall evaluation. That said, if you feel there’s a risk that the feedback could lead the staff to judge you unfavorably, it’s also completely up to you to reconsider.

I saw your previous question as well. If the only thing she did was run over the allotted time, then I feel all you need to do is simply avoid meeting her again. The reason is that, even if you found it unpleasant, someone else might not consider it a problem at all. When writing something negative in a review, I think it’s better to limit it to issues that any woman would consider grounds for a complaint. For example: not giving the allowance, wanting a relationship without an allowance, forcing unprotected sex, secretly taking photos or videos, lecturing someone until she cries, and so on. Incidentally, being treated as a complainer doesn’t happen because of just one review. You can see the reviews of the people being reviewed, but you should assume that the club also keeps an eye on the reviews written by each member. If someone who usually leaves good reviews occasionally posts a negative one, people will assume something especially unpleasant must have happened. But if someone who regularly leaves negative reviews does it again, then it’s hardly surprising if they’re treated as a complainer.

In situations between a man and a woman, it’s hard to believe that only one side is at fault—and even when that is the case, it can be difficult to determine. Also, in a club where members are expected to look out for one another, it’s only natural for people to be a little wary of someone who files a complaint, viewing them as someone to watch out for—depending on the circumstances, perhaps even more so than the other party. Men will probably be viewed that way almost without exception, and for women as well, it’s unlikely to leave a positive impression. Unless it’s a complaint or report that doesn’t require confirmation from the other party and provides useful information for other members and the staff...

To begin with, the club’s structure is such that male members pay a fee, while female members do not. If someone complains, I can put up with it to some extent when I’m being paid. But if they’re receiving the service without paying anything and still complaining, there’s nothing to hold them back, leaving me completely at their mercy and vulnerable to anything they might do. The initial question was difficult to understand in Japanese. I could tell they were angry, but I couldn’t understand the Japanese. Even if I understood the Japanese, I couldn’t understand what they meant. And even if I understood what they meant, I couldn’t sympathize with them at all. They were demanding something that simply couldn’t be accommodated. All of these are characteristics of a complainer. If your Japanese is unclear, there’s a risk of being treated as one. Also, even if you say the meeting went over four hours, it makes a difference whether you told the man beforehand that you needed it to end within four hours. If you never told him that and still responded to the survey, that does seem rather like complaining. It’s like refusing to make any effort to read the instruction manual, then criticizing the product for not working. When accepting an offer, you could say, “My last train is at XX, so I need to leave by then,” and have the club pass that on to the man. If he invites you to linger at a café after dinner, you could ask right then, “I’d like to leave by XX—is that okay?” If you clearly communicated this several times and the meeting still went over four hours, I can understand answering the survey. But if you never mentioned it at all and then gave him a negative rating in the survey based on the manners listed on the website, that does seem pretty close to being a complainer.
