I had just registered with Universe and was initially listed as a virgin, Type A. On what was practically my first offer, I was taken to a hotel right after dinner at an izakaya on the very first day, and was handed 20,000 yen while he was angry. Everything except actual intercourse was forced on me. He told me, “There’s no way you’re really a virgin—you seem very experienced,” and I was deeply hurt at first. That experience led me to change to Type C. As I received various offers, I met men who treated me with care, and for better or worse, I’ve had many different experiences here.

I’m Saito, a column writer♪ Hearing your story really makes my heart ache, but I don’t think anyone can go through life without making mistakes. I feel that the key to a happy life is, above all: “Don’t leave your mistakes until the latter half of your life.” I’ve made plenty of mistakes I can’t even bring myself to talk about. One of the most embarrassing was crying inside the tax office in my twenties because I was so bad at running my company. In the end, it made me genuinely stronger. I’ve grown so much that I almost wish I could show the staff member who helped me back then what I’m like now.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. Men who prey on the fact that Type A girls are less wary than Type B girls and take advantage of them are truly awful. Men who make offers to Type A or Type B girls need to understand how they feel before approaching them. Even if people call it “Type B dating-type fraud,” it isn’t fraud. Because they’re Type B, they’re simply more cautious about adult relationships (intimate). There’s no fraud involved at all. If you don’t understand how they feel, the barrier of caution will never melt, and you’ll just keep getting rejected. If you have no intention of thawing that barrier, making an easy offer to a Type B girl may make her lose interest in accepting offers—or even consider leaving the club... That’s a nuisance for the club, the girl, and any man who might otherwise make her an offer. I often wish that men would take into account why girls choose Type B so their offers don’t decrease, and approach Type B girls with the intention of patiently understanding and easing their caution. P.S. I won’t say much about Type A, because I’m worried some men might read it and use that information to take advantage of them.

This is Seattle, a male member. That sounds rough. The first man probably couldn’t read Japanese. Please forgive him. I’m glad to hear that you met some good male members afterward. I’ve already written about most of my strange experiences in my columns. As for the people I made offers to, none of them were truly awful. The only bitter experience was with a Type B who kept me hanging with dinner-only dates four times, giving me the impression that something more might happen, but nothing ever did. Still, among roughly ten offers, that was within the range of what I expected.
