This is Kazu, one of the respondents.

I’m a male member, BB7. After casually browsing through the photos, comments, and answers about the kind of relationship they’re looking for, I ultimately make my decision based on the video. Videos contain all kinds of information—her voice, overall vibe, way of speaking, tone, attitude, and so on. I consider all of that together before deciding whether to make an offer. Videos showing a genuine interaction with the staff are much more informative than ones where she’s just answering predetermined questions or promoting herself. If a woman doesn’t have a video, I won’t make an offer, no matter how beautiful she is or how much she seems like my type. I just can’t tell what she’s really like.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Thank you all for your answers. First of all, I don’t look at many photos or videos. That’s because the kind of dating partner I’m looking for is a woman I can talk with about topics I’m interested in. If all I wanted was someone I could have an engaging conversation with about subjects I like, I wouldn’t care if they were an older man. But I have no desire to pay an allowance for a date with an older man. Nor do I want to pay an allowance for dinner or coffee with a woman I can’t have an engaging conversation with. I feel that the benefit I can offer someone who’ll keep me company on a date filled with interesting conversation is, well, the allowance. So her class or dating rank doesn’t matter to me—as long as we can have a great conversation! For me, someone’s occupation is an important clue when I’m looking for a person who can talk about topics I’m interested in. After all, people in a particular industry are usually the ones most familiar with it. In a previous answer, I used the profile example, “I work in finance, so I enjoy talking about the economy.” That’s the sort of thing I mean. That’s why I joined a dating club that includes an occupation field. Apps probably have one as well, but I didn’t think people would necessarily be truthful there, so I’ve never used one. Of course, I understand why some women would prefer not to reveal their occupation or industry because they’re worried about being recognized. In that case, it would be helpful if you could describe it more vaguely—for example, by saying something like, “I’m good at talking about this kind of subject.” Once I narrow things down by occupation or areas of expertise, the number of women becomes quite small. At the branch I’m registered with, there are fewer than ten. I can make an offer to each of them in turn. After that, I talk with them in person and go on subsequent dates—or after-meal dates—with the women I click with.

I’m Basil, a male member. I usually choose women based on: 1. Their photos 2. Whether their style, age, occupation, and hobbies listed in their profile fall within my preferences 3. Their personality, history in the adult-entertainment industry, marital status, possibility of being a “hidden A,” attitude toward money, and so on, based on staff comments and the mistress assessment 4. Their natural expressions in videos, and whether there’s a big gap between those and their photos Aside from a few items in the mistress assessment, I don’t really use the women’s comments or the other information as a reference.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist. Basically, I make offers based on whether I’m attracted to someone’s looks, height, figure, and voice. You might find this off-putting, but I also watch videos to study things like their eye movements and how often they blink, to figure out whether what they’re saying is true. That doesn’t mean I never make offers to liars. If their lies pique my interest, I’ll make an offer. Putting it into writing, I’m starting to think I might actually be kind of messed up（笑）

A lost woman in her 60s. Fulfillment…? It’s boring when all you see are words chosen just to win people’s approval…

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. I make my decision based on the expressions I see in the videos. Sometimes I watch them with the sound off so no one around me can hear. I’ve also made offers based on video comments and profiles, but I’ve come to realize they’re not all that reliable, so I hardly take them into consideration anymore… When you really think about it, how much of the truth—and their true feelings—are they actually going to tell you? And if you look at it calmly, some things are simply said on the spot by someone who’s suddenly nervous and just trying to get through the moment… On top of that, the lines they’ve been coached to say by scouts and others can sometimes contain outrageous fabrications. Maybe all you can do is leave it to fate…
