I’m a male member based in Osaka. I first came across Papuwa through Mac’s column quite some time ago and added her to my favorites, including her appearance, but somehow never got around to making an offer—and now it’s 2020.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. I’d heard you were going to reshoot your photos, but I wondered, “Have you already done it?” So I took a look—and wow, those photos are something else. (Haha) A daring swimsuit? I was surprised. But wasn’t the idea that you wouldn’t get any offers unless the first photo showed you smiling? Personally, I think it’s good that all the photos now have the same overall feel as your old fourth photo. The quality of the photos and the number of offers are two different things, though. And just as promised, you’re wearing glasses too. (The glasses photo does look a little cosplay-like, though.) > I haven’t been able to make an offer because of the geographic disadvantage of being in Osaka and the limitations of my schedule. Hmm? If you have some financial flexibility, you could also invite a woman to Osaka. You’d need to cover her actual round-trip transportation costs. And if you meet late, she won’t be able to get home that day, so you’d also need to pay for her accommodation. (Even if you’d like to stay together, she would still need a hotel room booked separately for herself.) Men who don’t have much time but do have money can invite women to come to them. Of course, it depends on whether her schedule works, and some women may not want to travel that far even if their transportation is covered, so it’s not guaranteed that you’ll be able to meet. I recommend starting with an offer along the lines of, “Would you be able to come to Osaka?” While you’re still hesitating, she may suddenly leave the site. Once she’s gone, it’ll be too late.

I’m Meg, a female member. Sorry for offering a woman’s perspective, but if I were a man, I’d definitely be very interested in Pappuwa-san and probably make an offer! (Even though I haven’t seen a photo, haha.)

This is Saito♪, a column writer. Sorry for jumping in when Mac and Papua should be answering. My advice is: “First of all, just make an offer.” Worrying about it on your own isn’t going to get you anywhere. There can’t be any competition for her if you haven’t even made an offer! And besides, there doesn’t have to be only one winner.
