I’m a woman.

I’m Saito, the column writer ♪ I couldn’t help laughing at the idea that being beautiful is what matters most. Well... it’s not exactly wrong. I think the human psyche is by far the most fascinating field.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office will answer this one as well. Handsome men may simply not register because women naturally approach them. For example, women may say that hosts aren’t necessarily handsome, but women still approach them without being paid. In fact, the women may even pay the men and enter into an adult relationship (intimate). They may spend millions of yen at the club, after all, so it’s quite something. For men like that, meeting women by paying them may seem incomprehensible when they can attract women through their own charm alone. Thinking about it that way, beautiful women can receive money, and handsome men can receive money too. I feel that this has become the prevailing attitude nowadays. And when meeting someone like that, perhaps both men and women need to spend money. That said, if you’re fundamentally dissatisfied because you can’t get past the man’s appearance, I think you should go somewhere you feel more comfortable with. There are also many stylish, distinguished men at Universe, and I think there are plenty of men who are genuinely enjoyable to meet. Since many of them are gentlemen, there probably aren’t that many reasons to feel dissatisfied. Everyone has different things they find disappointing, so I think you should choose the place that feels right for you.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. Women are the flowers of this world, so that makes sense. As a man joining a club, I’m happier when there are plenty of beautiful women and fewer handsome men. Women polish their beauty, while men work hard and throw themselves into the pursuit of what they want. And I think continuing to fall for and pursue women is probably the best secret to staying young. P.S. Mac, your comment actually gave me a little courage to think that maybe I should be happy about it! Thank you (^ ^) People have always told me, “Your skin is so fair, smooth, and pretty—almost like a girl’s. Do you do anything special to take care of it? I’m so jealous!” I used to think they only said that because they couldn’t find anything else to compliment me on, so I wasn’t particularly happy about it. But maybe I can just take it as a compliment. I felt the same way when people praised my voice, saying, “Your calm, soothing, gentle voice is incredibly comforting.” I assumed they were saying it because they couldn’t think of anything else to compliment me on… P.P.S. Mac, women really do seem to be the ultimate fountain of youth! I have a friend and senior acquaintance in his seventies who has several wives and girlfriends. His younger brother, on the other hand, has never pursued serious relationships with women, and he seems to have lost his vitality as a result. Despite being younger, he looks much older, while my friend looks younger, healthier, and more vibrant. Even past seventy, he still has glowing skin and such energy that he’s actively pursuing new girlfriends. Recently, he even managed to date someone in her twenties who works aboard a passenger ship, which is just amazing. The club is also a place where you can receive the energy to stay young!

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. I think men and women value different things when it comes to appearance. Rather than focusing on beauty, men may be more inclined to improve themselves in other areas. So perhaps you could say there aren’t that many truly handsome men. Speaking for myself, I do notice things like, “I’m getting more wrinkles,” or “I’m getting more gray hair,” but I place greater importance on running my current business smoothly. Unexpected problems come up from time to time, too, so dealing with those takes priority. In that sense, beauty and grooming are still a long way off for me. Even though I don’t have a particularly strong sense of beauty, when I see a beautiful woman, I honestly think, “Ah, she’s lovely.”

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. I agree. I think you’re absolutely right. I’ve been concerned about dark spots for the past few years, so I had them removed with laser treatment, but they came back after a few months. Recently, I started using hydroquinone, and I’m happy to say they’ve gradually begun to fade. I’ve also started noticing other skin problems, so I’ve been visiting the dermatologist more often. And for some reason, I’ve started paying more attention to other people’s skin as well. That said, I feel like more and more men these days are becoming very conscious of their appearance. I’ll do my best, too.

I’m Meg, a female member. I suppose that’s just how things tend to be, percentage-wise. That said, all the respondents here are incredibly hard on themselves. Some of them work so hard that I feel I really need to follow their example! The other day, my papa (a male supporter) was looking in the mirror and said, “My hair seems to be getting thinner…” But from my perspective, I was thinking, “Huh? Where?!” P.S. Papuwa I read that column too. It must have been really tough waiting for the results. I’m glad it turned out to be benign. There are all kinds of people in this world. With people like that, I’d rather quietly steer clear of them. P.P.S. Date◎Yume and Gentlemanly Papa-Katsu Man, You’re absolutely right. It’s precisely because all the men are making an effort in that area that we receive offers, after all (*^^*)
