I’m a female member. I’m currently set as Type B, but honestly, I only want an adult relationship (intimate) with someone I genuinely feel might be right for me. Should someone with this mindset avoid setting their profile to Type B?

My name is Kurosaki, and I’m the chief at the Osaka branch of Universe Club. “I honestly only want to have an adult relationship with someone I feel might be right for me.” If your standards for “someone who might be right for me” are extremely high, choosing Type A would probably be better for you. But if that isn’t the case, what you’re describing sounds like Type B to me. Am I misunderstanding? The same could be said even if you were Type C, but considering how cautious you seem to be, I think Type B would suit you best! You may need to be a little tactful when turning someone down, but if a male member ever says something like, “You’re Type B, but you have no intention of developing this into an adult relationship, so that’s fraud!” please consult the club♪

I’ll answer too—Maezawa from the club’s management office. If you’re saying you’ll only have an adult relationship with someone you feel might be right for you, then you’re simply being selective while still being open to an adult relationship. That’s different from saying, like Type A, “I don’t want an adult relationship,” so I think Type B is the right choice. However, if you mean that you want to date everyone else for dinner only, then that changes things. In that case, dinner dates are your main focus, so I feel you should choose Type A rather than Type B. For that reason, I think the way to avoid complaints while being Type B is to stop seeing someone from the next date onward if you decide that an adult relationship with them isn’t possible. Of course, if you need three dinner dates to decide whether it’s possible or not, then those dinner dates are perfectly fine. When a woman says she needs five or ten dates, I ask her to please make a decision by the third date if possible. Men will wait up to three dates, but if they have to wait any longer, she ends up looking like a Type A woman. When men complain, the club sometimes tells them that there isn’t any strict standard, but that we feel around three dates are necessary to make a decision. Then we sometimes get reports like, “We went on four dates, and she said an adult relationship wasn’t possible, but dinner dates were fine,” (laughs). In that case, the staff will determine that the woman has chosen the wrong dating type. From then on, whenever a man makes an offer to her, we’ll tell him something like, “It seems she only does dinner dates—is that okay?” So even if the woman thinks she’s handling things well, men are complaining, which means she isn’t handling it well. In the worst case, she could even be forcibly removed from the club for misrepresenting her dating type.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. > Should people with this kind of mindset stop choosing the B type? To be completely frank, I think you should either stop—or, if you clearly feel they’re not right for you, avoid meeting them again after the second time. This question box occasionally discusses whether a woman should move on to an adult relationship (intimate) with a man she’s meeting for the first time. To sum it up, women seem to have a pretty good idea after the first meeting, and can usually make a definite decision after meeting two or three times. I wondered, “Can that really be true?” So I asked a woman I’m actually dating who is considerably younger than me. She said that when we first met and talked about various things, she thought, “I think he’ll be okay.” It made me realize that even women with little experience with men can make that judgment. (How can I tell? Someone who knows what to look for can tell.) Of course, I think there are individual differences. This is a dating club. Please consider this in the context of an arrangement involving money. So, what about you...?

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. > Honestly, with an adult relationship (intimate), it should be with someone you feel might be right for you. Whether it’s that day or even the first meeting, it’s perfectly fine for both Type A and Type B to kiss or have sex. That’s only natural. If it doesn’t happen naturally, as you asked, things can just drag on without even kissing…(^^;;

I’m Kazu, a male member. Regardless of her type, she has every right to turn down a relationship. Women of any type, from A to E, can say no. I think the difference between the relationship types is simply when they make that decision. I don’t bring up an adult relationship (intimate) on the first date with a Type B woman. If we end up talking about a second date, I take that as meaning she’s probably open to me. For example, if a woman says, “We’ve gone on ten dates, and you seem like a good person, so I’m willing to take things further,” I find that much more understandable when it comes from a woman I met outside a dating club or from a Type A woman. Apology and correction: I wrote “ten dates,” but thinking about it more carefully, I’ve never gone on ten dates with a woman I met without paying a setup fee before becoming intimate. At most, it was probably around three dates. If we went on ten dates, we’d probably end up getting married. I’d like to correct the number of dates mentioned above to five, and I sincerely apologize. One more thing: For the sake of men’s honor, I want to point out that men also only want intimacy with someone they genuinely feel might be right for them. Sometimes we’re considerate and end a date without bringing up the subject of an adult relationship (intimate).
