I’ve come across people who say things like, “I’ve successfully invited a Type B woman out on the same day.” But in many cases, it probably wasn’t because they clicked—it was simply because they pressured her so much that she had no choice but to give in.

I’m Type B as well. And as Maezawa-san pointed out, I don’t believe the rules have to be followed rigidly in every situation. However, I do want men to properly understand the basic principles behind each type.
Men are the ones paying, while women are the ones receiving, so there is an inherent power imbalance. I’ve had several experiences where I didn’t want to agree but felt unable to refuse because I felt inferior and found it difficult to say no.
For example, a man told me he had booked a room for that day—a room costing around 100,000 yen per night. I felt bad refusing and ended up having an unwanted adult relationship with him from the very first day. Another time, I was told, “I left your transportation allowance in the room—could you come?” I felt I had no choice but to go to the room, and things gradually led to an adult relationship. These are memories I genuinely hate. Looking only at the outcome, it might appear that I was a Type B woman leaning toward Type C because I agreed to a relationship from the first day, but that isn’t true, and I was left feeling terrible.
Objectively, people would probably think I had the right to refuse in both situations. But I didn’t file a complaint because I didn’t want to be labeled a troublemaker.
Still, when you’re actually there, you can’t say no. Even if I were put in the same situation again, I’m not confident I could refuse.
To the staff who establish these rules, please don’t forget that there are surely many women who have had similarly unpleasant experiences. Please continue explaining the rules clearly and maintaining the firm stance you’ve always taken.
This isn’t really a question, and I’m sorry for sharing my personal experience.
I just felt frustrated after reading the questions above, so I ended up writing this.
I’m a male member, Paper Airplane.
I agree completely.
Women should feel free to report anything that bothers them, no matter how minor.
Some men will even make completely baseless complaints or lie outright, so I think women are better off reporting even small issues.
Unlike men, women are very unlikely to be labeled as troublemakers.
> After the meeting was over, I would message the club on LINE.
> “Today’s person was wonderful, and I had a great time! Thank you for arranging it,” or, “Today’s person was a bit… I’m feeling pretty uncomfortable about it.”
> If you message them regularly, it becomes easier to talk to the staff when something comes up.
If women regularly send in reports and complaints, the staff will probably welcome them, since that feedback is extremely valuable.
It also helps to send positive feedback from time to time, as it builds your credibility if a minor issue ever comes up.
On the other hand, I think the staff hope men will never do anything that could lead to a complaint—because once a man makes even one complaint, even if it’s a complaint from a woman about him, he’ll be branded a troublemaker for life.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
I didn’t answer the original question because it was directed at the staff, but I wanted to respond here so people know that some male members also find it troubling.
I’m sure there’s some pressure involved, but please don’t assume that because a few people were okay with it, everyone will be. It’s frustrating for male members like me who aren’t like that to have women think that all the male members at Universe are the same. If you want an answer on the day, you should make an offer to a Type C or Type D woman.

This is Maezawa from the president’s office.
Women tend to put up with things, so unless you speak up like this, before you know it, only the men’s opinions end up being prioritized.
The fact that women like you are willing to say that you’ve been hurt and frustrated helps keep the club from heading in the wrong direction, and we truly appreciate it.
As you pointed out, men who pay money can end up in a position of power, and the club faces that pressure every day as well.
But if there were no women, it goes without saying that men wouldn’t pay. So I believe it’s only right to ensure that women, who are in the weaker position, aren’t disadvantaged.
We still have a long way to go, but I believe this is something we can resolve by increasing the number of gentlemen who are considerate of women.
We would appreciate it if you continued to share stories like this with us.
May your encounters be ones that leave both of you feeling glad you met...
