For an ongoing relationship, what kind of arrangement are you looking for?
This content is machine-translated.
・Purely transactional type
A quick meal, then a quick trip to the hotel.
That’s all I need. I don’t want any unnecessary dates beyond that.
・Pseudo-romantic type
I don’t want a relationship that’s just about going to hotels.
I’d like to go out and enjoy dates together, and value time outside the hotel too.
Which type of relationship would be ideal for you?
Personally, I adapt to what the other person wants—
I’m a chameleon type!
I’m Basil, a male member.
If I were seeing several women on an ongoing basis, my ideal setup would be to have one pseudo-romantic relationship and keep things purely transactional with the others.
Pseudo-romantic dates tend to be long, which can be tough in terms of time and energy. But if every relationship were purely transactional, it would start to feel a little lonely—almost like amateur escorting.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member.
I’m greedy, so I’m the “pretend romance” type.
But for our regular dates, I keep things strictly transactional.
I don’t want other people to see us together, haha. I feel a little safer lately since everyone’s wearing masks.
I felt that keeping it completely transactional would be a bit cold, so we basically exchange one message with each other every day.
There’s an age gap, but I still want to value the emotional side of things too.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member.
I meet women on their terms, and I tend to continue seeing the same women—some with a pseudo-romantic dynamic, others for something quick.
With some people, four or five hours fly by in no time.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist.
I’m the type who experiences love and heartbreak simultaneously, all within myself.
I like the other person, but I would never tell them. Besides, I already know that if I did, they’d be put off and reject me.
In other words, even while I’m falling in love, I feel like I’m also going through heartbreak at the same time.
I keep all those feelings to myself, agonizing alone without ever causing the other person any trouble.
That’s basically how I am.
Somehow, I find myself seeking out loneliness and sadness.
Why do you think that is? Am I just a masochist? lol

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer too.
I’d say I’m the phoenix type.
Though that’s not even a real animal anymore, so does it make any sense?
No matter how many times I’m knocked down, I rise again from the ashes...

I’m in Seattle.
That red panda may be trying to intimidate people, but it’s still nothing but adorable.
I’m more of a pseudo-romantic type, I guess, since I prefer having a small number of long-term arrangements. The three or so A-types I see are strictly casual dinner dates—just the first round.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
Personally, I prefer a quick hotel meet-up. I’ll go somewhere else if the woman wants to, but I’m more of a homebody—and it seems most of the women I meet are, too.
We often meet in a hotel room, order room service, chat, and then become intimate. Sometimes we spend several hours just lounging around in the room before that. Another perk is that we don’t have to be seen by anyone else.
I guess I’m the sloth type. I’ll have to be careful not to get run over.
By the way, the icon for my column is Amsterdam’s Red Light District. It’s a pretty surreal street, where couples and families with children stroll past windows with sexy women in lingerie trying to attract customers.
