When I read the section called “What Our Male Members Say,” I notice that a surprisingly large number of the men who write things like “It was a terrible date” are from the Okinawa branch.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. The number of women in Okinawa is listed by branch on the members-only page, so it’s easy to see how many there are. Even if you went on one date every day, it would take more than three years to meet them all. And considering that new women are constantly registering, it might take around ten years—or even longer—to meet everyone, even at one date a day. Everyone has their own idea of what “too few” means, but I’d like you to wait until you’ve met every woman and are genuinely having trouble because there’s no one else left to meet before saying there aren’t enough women. Incidentally, only a small proportion of our female members fill out the surveys. Many may be too reserved to do so, and quite a few may not even know the surveys exist. By the way, when I looked at the messages between the woman involved in this survey and the branch, she was upset, saying something like, “Are you really going to believe only what he says when I didn’t do anything like that?” If you look through both parties’ past feedback, it seems like you could get an idea of who was at fault. However, I assume the branch staff have already looked into that, so I didn’t investigate any further. Only the people involved know the truth. But when it comes to people dealing with each other, these things can be quite difficult.

I’m Meg, a female member. People are mirrors, after all. I thought your words, Mr. Kamihikōki, were really inspiring.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. I’ve answered this many questions in the Q&A box, but I had no idea there was even a voice feature or anything like that. I haven’t seen it yet, though. When it comes to relationships between men and women, it’s rarely the case that only one side is at fault. So if you feel that the other person was awful, I get the sense that they probably feel the same way about you. When things haven’t worked out with a woman, I tend to see it as my own embarrassment—as something I did wrong. As a business owner, you can also fall victim to embezzlement or theft. But I believe you have to consider it embarrassing that you created the situation, and uncool that you failed to prevent it.
