What kind of vibe do male members usually have? For example, something like “classy and refined” when describing women.

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ I wear a jacket and jeans. Since I often have my jackets tailored, people often tell me, “That’s a lovely jacket.” (It makes me a little happy.) I’m also very conscious of maintaining a clean, well-groomed appearance. I notice this at parties, but men’s appearances really vary. Once, at a party hosted by another dating club, I saw a man who was the complete package: he smelled bad, wore a shaggy, bear-like sweater, and was overweight. No one went near him at the party, but I was curious, so I proactively got a drink and went over to talk to him. He told me, “This dating club is a scam. Whenever I meet a woman, she suddenly gets a stomachache or says something came up and leaves…” I asked the club staff about it, and they said: “It’s free love. We’re not arranging sex. But when you look at him, you can understand how the women feel, right?” It was only natural, of course, but it made me realize—including about myself—that men are often the least capable of understanding themselves. By the way, that man was a trader with an annual income of around 400 million yen. He spent all his time shut away in his room and somehow smelled of oil. There may be men like that from time to time.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. I’ve never met any of the other male members, so I really have no idea, but I imagine they’re probably the typical middle-aged guys you’d find anywhere in their respective regions（笑）. As for me, being a member from a rural area, I’d say I look like a country farmer（笑）. That said, I think many of them are proactive, serious-minded, and eager to learn and improve themselves. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t take an interest in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or actually give it a try.

I’m BB7, a male member. I’ve only seen them at parties, so I’ve met only a very limited number of male members, but most of them seemed genuinely kind and gentlemanly—not like the sloppy middle-aged men you see everywhere. Then there were: - About 10% who had distinctive, eccentric, somewhat intense personalities, but looked like they were probably wealthy. - Another 10% who were good-looking, well-dressed, and gave off the impression that they must be popular with women. The perspective might be different for women who actually meet them in person.

I’m Seattle, a male member. I see myself as having more of a schoolteacher vibe, but when I went to a free-style party, most of the other male members looked like elite corporate professionals.
