A question for female members or female staff about how to handle women of Dating Type B. You may not be Type B yourself, but I don’t think this is a difficult question to answer.

I’m not one of the female staff members, but Maezawa will answer. I once heard a story like this from a female member: The man never brought up the terms of the arrangement and only talked about wanting a long-term relationship. It seemed like he was looking for a girlfriend or a marriage partner. She said, “That’s not what I’m looking for, so I don’t think I’ll see him again.” Even women with Dating Type B may simply not be comfortable with an adult relationship on the first day. However, it seems necessary to discuss what kind of person the man is and what kind of terms he has in mind. That doesn’t mean you need to discuss specific figures. Just making it clear that you’re looking for a relationship that includes an allowance should be enough to avoid misunderstandings. Alternatively, you could avoid discussing an arrangement altogether and simply enjoy a normal date. That should also prevent any misunderstandings. I don’t know what the person who asked this question talked about during the date, but if they didn’t discuss the possibility of an arrangement at all, then going forward, it might be worth coming up with a strategy—such as choosing a restaurant the woman would enjoy or giving her a small gift. Also, clothing seems to be important. We occasionally receive feedback like, “I was shocked by how awful the man’s outfit was.”
