Are dating clubs basically for people who want sex and people who want money?

I’m BB7, a male member. In the past, I met one woman whose family was wealthy and who had a decent income herself, so she said she didn’t need any money. She said she joined because she wanted some excitement—not in the sexual sense. People like that are extremely rare.

I’m in my 30s and a new member. I assume that’s how most people feel, but what do you think? Even if a woman’s main motivation is money, I don’t think she wants someone to come at her right away with, “You’re only here for the money, aren’t you?” I feel that a certain amount of consideration and tact is important. Also, looking at the recent questions and answers, I’ve realized that even among people who simply “want sex,” there are all kinds of different people. Illegal acts and crimes are out of the question, of course. But beyond that, as long as both people are satisfied and neither is violating basic morals or manners, I think they should be free to choose whatever works for them. Personally, even if someone’s views are objectively correct, I really dislike having them forced on me unilaterally. If both people involved are happy with it, I think there’s room for all kinds of relationships and encounters. People are compatible in different ways, and everyone wants something different, so it’s hard to put into words. But I see encounters in places like this as nothing more than finding out whether the “intersection of what works for both people” is the best fit for me—or at least within my acceptable range. If you have more money to spare, I suppose the range within which things can go your way becomes wider. Besides, even the same woman may want different things at different times, right? lol

I’m Rura, a UC male member and a member of the new salon. Since you’re asking, “Is that the basic idea?” I’ll answer simply: Basically, I think it’s a place for people who want sex and people who want money. That said, it’s not that men are looking for just anyone they can have sex with. Men who also want an emotional connection are seeking a match, while women aren’t necessarily looking for just anyone who will give them money—they want to choose the right partner. Ideally, both people would care for each other enough to think, “I could genuinely become this person’s partner.” The man would provide generous support to the woman, almost as if he were giving living expenses to his beloved wife, while the woman would feel the comfort and satisfaction of being held by a husband she loves. If they could build that kind of relationship, it might even develop into a bond of trust stronger than marriage. After all, these relationships begin with financial support as an understood premise. So compared with, say, someone who married for love passionately but became disillusioned with her husband’s lack of financial stability after marriage, financial dissatisfaction should be less common in relationships formed through a dating club. That said, this world can be pretty tough in its own way（笑）

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. At Universe Club, we have women registered as Type A, who are looking for dinner only, and Type E, who are willing to meet even without transportation reimbursement. That’s why we’ve made it possible for women with a wide range of preferences to register. There is the question of which type is most in demand, but as a club, we aim to welcome women with all kinds of backgrounds and preferences. (That said, Type A women still need to be attractive enough to make men turn around and look twice ＞＜)

I’m a male member based in Seattle. That’s probably true about 90% of the time. The remaining 10% are people who simply want someone to talk to or started this to broaden their horizons.
