The B-Team Charges In—and Gets Completely Wiped Out!

Maybe “Team B of self-centered guys”…? I’m a confused man in my 60s. > You don’t have to talk about money. Like Mac, I think you’re mistaken here. Even though I make offers to both A- and B-type women, I still conduct myself properly. On top of that, I enjoy spending time together having relaxed, enjoyable conversations. These days, women I’ve made offers to have been voluntarily leaving the site, saying they’ll only see Confused Man in His 60s from now on… > Mac Someday, perhaps we can meet… haha. > Paper Airplane I’ve had a chauffeur ever since I started working, so I’ve never driven a car myself—and I returned my driver’s license a long time ago. I’m honored that you mistook me for someone famous.

I’m Rin, a female member. It’s more frustrating when time just passes without them saying anything. I start wondering, “What is this person thinking...?” and it leaves me completely drained. They may seem considerate, but actually come across as very self-centered. At the very least, shouldn’t they show some consideration for the other person’s feelings before making plans for a second date? A last-minute cancellation... I guess they’d grown tired of having a meal and chatting together.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. After watching yesterday’s news: > Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said on the 21st that a business owner from Osaka City had personally donated ¥1 billion to the prefecture… There must be quite a few people like that. With Type B female college students, it often feels like there’s an extra digit when it comes to their cars, shopping, and allowances… I wonder what kind of car “Wandering Sixties” drives? Could it possibly be that… car everyone around it tries to avoid? P.S. Mac Apparently, some people quietly give 4.5 or more. Some even add another zero to that… These days, some girls end up in an auction-like situation, with the amount being pushed higher and higher with no ceiling in sight… > Wandering Sixties So they really are in the chauffeur-driven class, huh? > Mac People like Mac, who can spend about the price of a car on a single meal—how much do they spend on one date, I wonder… Regardless of whether they’re Type B, Type C, or anything else, there are quite a few who offer 300,000–600,000 yen for the first meeting without a hotel. What kind of lifestyle do they lead…? For some, that’s every time… And some are in a class where going to a hotel would cause problems, so even if they wanted to, they can’t… When you think you’re being generous from the very first meeting, only to hear that someone else is offering ten times as much… it starts to feel like you’re just going through the motions, and you lose all motivation… It would be nice if girls with three or more such papas would stop accepting offers… Anyway, To the questioner: Platinum- and Black-level female college students are receiving multiple offers from men like that, so it’s probably best to assume there’s no need to bring up money. You should even be prepared for them to silently ignore anything under ¥30,000… PPPS. Mac I don’t drink, so I can’t really appreciate the value of that… but once you reach that level, you can obtain anything money can buy. In that situation, do they still have any sense of ordinary people’s finances? Lately, when I’m at the supermarket: “Avocados are only ¥98—what a bargain. Domestic broccoli is ¥128—so cheap. I’ll get some.” Yesterday, at the supermarket late at night: “Oh, there’s still some spinach left today… I’ll stir-fry it with butter—268 yen? That’s expensive! Never mind, I’ll make salt-and-pepper fried peppers instead. Domestic wagyu loin is half price, and the prepared ayu grilled whole with salt is 40% off…”

I’m Flag Maker, a papa-katsu columnist. Losing your nerve after just one last-minute cancellation is pretty pathetic, lol. You’re way too mentally fragile when it comes to dating. If you don’t swing the bat all the way, you won’t improve—and you’ll just keep repeating the same mistakes. Getting rejected won’t kill you, so keep going until they cut you off for good!

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. “Tokkō Yarō”...? That’s old—way too old, haha. Anyway, let’s move on with the mindset that “Only a genius strategist like me could lead a group of battle-hardened veterans.” By the way, I think type B is difficult. If you approach it like type A and assume it’s dinner only (no intimacy), the woman may think, “This man has gotten the wrong idea.” (Sometimes we get feedback like, “He talked about wanting a long-term relationship without mentioning money at all. I think he’s misunderstood the situation.”) On the other hand, if you try to invite her into an adult relationship (intimate), she may say, “He’s trying to rush straight into intimacy and doesn’t understand why I chose type B.” You may be thinking, “Then what am I supposed to do?” But you have to figure that out during the first meal by talking and reading the situation. It’s a demanding process—or perhaps a psychological battle—that requires that kind of skill. On the other hand, if you have nerves of steel, you might actually find that part enjoyable. Type B will continue to be challenging, but good luck. > After hearing about a man who gave someone 300,000 yen for one date, then another 300,000 yen for the second date (also a dinner date, with no hotel), I decided it was too good to be true and backed out. > That older man is well known in Nagoya, and I’ve heard similar stories from other girls, so it doesn’t seem to be a lie. So there are people like that. I haven’t heard of anyone like that in Tokyo, so maybe they only exist in Nagoya? > For a while after that, before making an offer, I would check with the branch office: “She hasn’t previously accepted an offer from Mr. ○, has she?” Then I’d make the offer. It was traumatic. (^_^;) There were people like that—people who checked—in Tokyo, too. Apparently, someone like that had a type C partner. I can certainly understand not wanting to go on a date after someone like that >＜
