There seem to be two types of B-type women

I’m Basil, a male member. After reading Mr. Maezawa’s answer, I wanted to add something. It seems the staff also feel that Type B is somewhat ambiguous. If so, wouldn’t it better meet members’ needs to break Type B down into more categories, rather than having a Type E that almost no one registers for? The current Type B, which is easy for women to choose, attracts many women who aren’t professionals. There’s a wide range in their attitudes and expectations, but I personally like it because I enjoy getting to know fairly ordinary women along the way. However, many male members seem to prioritize the odds of things working out.

Maezawa from the Business Planning Office here as well. For some reason, we get a lot of questions like, “Is B closer to A or to C?” But we rarely get questions like, “Is C closer to B or to D?” Sometimes I wonder whether B alone will eventually be subdivided into about five different levels. Still, B is B, so in theory it shouldn’t have any pluses or minuses. But in reality, as you said, those differences do exist. There are also people who are secretly more like C: they’d really prefer to be classified as C, but even though C is said to mean a 50% chance, they worry that the other person might keep pushing if they turn them down, so they choose B because it’s harder to refuse. But if we delve too deeply into this, we ultimately end up saying that it depends on the individual, which leads to the strange conclusion that we don’t really need these dating types at all, right? With that in mind, trying to determine which type someone is closer to probably won’t lead to a clear answer, so it may be more useful to stop thinking about it.

I’m a new member in my 30s. If I were a woman, I think I’d have the following mindset when signing up. At the root of it all would be money. 1. If I wanted a reasonably generous allowance right away, I’d choose C, fully aware of what that entails. 2. If I wanted a reasonably generous allowance right away but absolutely couldn’t be with someone I found physically repulsive, I’d choose somewhere between B and C. 3. If pocket-money-level allowance were enough, but I held out hope that I might meet a man who made me think, “Maybe with him,” I’d choose B. 4. If pocket-money-level allowance were enough and I actually absolutely hated the idea of an adult relationship (intimate), but knew I wouldn’t receive any offers as an A, I’d choose B. In case 3, I probably wouldn’t move on to an adult relationship unless I found the man I met especially attractive. In case 4, I’d probably think about how to increase the number of meetings, skillfully dodge the issue, and buy time until the arrangement ended. Women are actresses in a sense, and you can never really know what they’re thinking deep down. So as a male member, with B-type women, I don’t think there’s much choice but to keep making offers to girls who catch your eye, meet them, and try negotiating an adult relationship (intimate). The most effective ways to increase the chances of an adult relationship (intimate) are to offer more money and improve your appeal as a man. Given the club’s criteria for B type, I don’t think there’s much point in overthinking it. The club does need to be careful about how it categorizes members, since an increase in complaints from male members could interfere with its operations. However, the club’s revenue comes from the initial offer fees set for each membership class. If the club strictly screened B types—or tried to steer women toward A type and increase that number—it could actually lead to lower revenue for the club. So I imagine it’s a difficult issue.

I’m Basil, a male member. I mainly go for Type B arrangements, but I think there are actually three different categories: **B1** → These women aren’t necessarily insisting on a second meeting; rather, they either aren’t ready to commit to choosing Type C or want an escape route in case they decide to decline. Since there’s no more suitable option, they choose Type B. If their requirements regarding personality, appearance, allowance, and so on are met, they’ll decide right away and have little hesitation even from the first meeting. In terms of the outcome, they’re closer to Type C, although the odds are lower. **B2** → The literal Type B. They take time to get to know the other person, think it over, and then decide. This is similar to the questioner’s B+. **B3** → Basically dinner only (no intimacy), but there’s still a possibility that things could develop. Their terms are extremely demanding. They may not have bad intentions, but it’s difficult to distinguish them from someone misrepresenting their dating type. This corresponds to the questioner’s B−. From time to time, people post questions and opinions about inviting Type B women to meet for the first time. Since a considerable number of women are B1 types, I find some respondents’ opinions—that doing so violates the rules—rather strange. As I recall, even during the explanation at the initial interview, they said that dating types were guidelines rather than strict rules.

East Customer Loyalty Group Aizawa from Tokyo here as well. First of all, the club cannot decide a woman’s dating type. It is meant to reflect her intentions, so she chooses the type based on her own feelings. That said, if we feel unsure whether she is truly a B type, we make sure to confirm it with her again. However, if she herself clearly says, “I’m a B type!” we register her as B. If something seems obviously questionable, we may add a note of caution in the comments. However, some women change their minds before the date, so we cannot guarantee that everything will be fine. This may be slightly off from the original question, but since the type is not set by the club, the answer is that there are no specific criteria for assigning someone as B. Personally, I feel that B- type women are no different from A types.
