I saw a man here respond to a question along the lines of, “It’s unacceptable that things don’t progress beyond dinner even after meeting a Type B woman several times,” by saying, “If she refuses an intimate relationship on the second date, report her to the club for misrepresenting her relationship type.”

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. You’re absolutely right. If you want to become intimate that quickly, you should simply make an offer to someone in category C or D. However, because some people lie and select category B even though they’re only looking for dinner, the rules have become stricter overall. It’s a shame, because without women telling those kinds of lies, it would have been possible to take things slowly and get to know each other first…

I’m BB7, a male member in my late 40s. > Isn’t it possible that a Type B arrangement may progress to an adult relationship on the second meeting or any meeting after that, rather than necessarily on the second meeting? Depending on how people interpret the wording, some male members may assume that a Type B arrangement means it will definitely become an adult relationship on the second meeting. Others, like you, may understand it as meaning the second meeting or any meeting thereafter. At least, I was in the latter group. Women in Type B arrangements may also interpret it in different ways. Some may think that meeting for the second time means an adult relationship is expected, while others may not. Isn’t this really a matter of “compatibility”? In some cases, a woman may only feel ready after having dinner together three or four times. There may also be men who are fine with taking things slowly like that, so I don’t think there’s any definitive answer. The real problem, I think, is women who have no intention of pursuing anything beyond dinner—or who feel that it would absolutely never work with a particular man—but deliberately deceive him and keep stringing him along with dinner-only meetings. You can probably see through them to some extent after meeting a few times, but in that case, I suppose it would be appropriate to leave feedback.

I’m a confused woman in my 60s. On our fourth date, there was a woman who confessed—laughing—that she actually preferred a dinner-only relationship and might be more of a “Type A,” even though she had initially presented herself as “Type B.” Well, I figured it wasn’t a scam, but rather the conclusion she’d reached after struggling with it. Of course, I didn’t file a complaint with the club or anything.

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ Your point is perfectly valid. However, one “black B-type” woman I met let it slip while she was drunk: “I joined after hearing I could get paid a lot just for having tea.” “Men complain that just having tea should be classified as A-type, so I just tell them—whether it’s true or not—that I’ve had intimate relationships with three men. That way, it doesn’t count as fraud.” There are all kinds of B-types, aren’t there? It really put me off having dinner with someone multiple times.（笑）
