I’m a man considering joining.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. As for whether that understanding is correct, I think the key issue is whether you truly understand the part that says, “as long as there is agreement on the terms under the name of chemistry.” The fact that you phrase it as “under the name of” may suggest that you think money alone can make things work. But even then, it seems you would need to be able to offer around one million yen per pay-per-meeting arrangement. Normally, a man’s appeal plays a major role. Someone who has that part down may be able to have an adult relationship with almost every woman they meet. But if they don’t, they may be turned down more often and start thinking, “Something isn’t right.” The allowance is mainly meant to offset the disadvantage of age. In reality, what matters is whether the woman actually likes you. So, for example, you may need to start going to the gym, work on your personal hygiene and appearance, and pay attention to various other details. > I prefer refined, wholesome-looking women, but is it unreasonable to look for that in women registered with a dating club? Not at all. When a refined, wholesome-looking woman registers, she may end up being treated almost like a “Black” woman. That doesn’t necessarily mean she will receive the highest ranking, but her offer rate can increase by about that much. And a higher offer rate means there are many men who prefer that type of woman.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. Since you’re considering joining, I imagine you may have various concerns, but there’s no need to worry. As the saying goes, “It’s easier to give birth than to worry about it.” Once you join and take a look at the female members, you’ll naturally figure out what kind of approach you want to take. As everyone has said, you can quickly see what kinds of women are registered by looking at the member list. Rather, this phrase: > An elderly gentleman who looks like he could easily be deceived by a slick, wealthy man (≒ gentlemanly) isn’t actually as easy to pull off as you might think. It tends to come across as unnatural, so I suspect it would take a considerable amount of practice. Why not try both types, as if you were an actor? ○ Sometimes, be a gentlemanly old man! ○ Other times, go for the flashy, carefree old-man look! Please enjoy putting it into practice（笑）

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. I feel like a woman can create a “refined, wholesome” look through makeup, hairstyle, and fashion, and that it’s fairly easy for women to play that role. Once you get to know them, most women gradually show their true selves and their personality changes, but I don’t mind that at all. If anything, I find it even cuter.

I’m BB7, a male member. Dating as much as you want?＝It’s possible if you can get past the ambiguity known as “chemistry.” In addition to looks and good personal hygiene, having strong communication skills and a high emotional intelligence (EQ) would make you perfect. A “refined, wholesome type”?＝I’m not sure what “refined” means, but if you mean someone who looks like an amateur, there are plenty of them. Even if she’s a pro on the inside, she can instantly look refined by wearing that kind of outfit, so it shouldn’t be a problem. A flirty older guy?＝I think this depends on personal preference. If the woman is also the flirty, young, outgoing type, she’d probably go for it. But if she’s more refined, I think a mature, calm gentleman would generally be better received than a flashy, flirtatious older man. It probably depends on the type you’re targeting.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. That’s exactly what the question says. I think it works out well for both sides: a gentleman who might be taken in, and someone looking to have a good time. If “refined and respectable” means someone who would never join a club, then there isn’t a single person like that here, male or female—you’d have to look elsewhere to find one. That said, plenty of women here are perfectly respectable in the ordinary sense, so I don’t think there’s any problem. I’d be at a loss if someone came in with completely pure, serious intentions, so I think this is just right for enjoying yourself.

I’m Meg, a female member. “If you have money and a reasonable level of personal hygiene, you can join—and as long as we agree on the terms under the name of ‘chemistry,’ you can enjoy dating (in all sorts of ways) with young, cute women as much as you like.” No problem. I don’t think the flashy, playboy type is particularly well received. I’m in my 40s—not exactly young—but I can mostly offer a soothing, comforting kind of companionship as well. Oh, wait—I’m currently on a break from the club (^_^;)
