I have a question about Type B women.

It’s Joe. I’m answering for the first time in ages. And this probably won’t be helpful at all. My personal record, I guess, was a woman I met about 20 times before we finally ended up in bed, even though she was a Type C. It took that long mainly because: 1. I wasn’t a player back then. 2. There were so many other things we enjoyed doing besides sex. I’m a bit more of a player now, but if I found someone attractive for reasons beyond sex, I don’t think I’d be fixated on getting into bed with her. I have one Type B woman I’ve met seven times in a row, and that arrangement is still ongoing. That said, I’ve come to understand better than I did when I first joined that there are also things you can only learn through physical intimacy.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here with an answer as well. Thank you for your question. > Is it really uncommon for trust to develop and the relationship to progress after the third meeting? Whether you’re talking about men or women, everyone is different, so I can only say that it depends on the person. That said, I was struck by how many women said they can tell from the very first moment they meet someone whether things will work or not. Of course, there are cases where someone makes a bad first impression but seems more appealing as they talk over a meal. Still, I feel that intuition is quite an important factor. > What are the true feelings of women who think this way psychologically? I’m not sure what psychology says about it, but I get the sense that they’re placing a lot of importance on intuition. Basically, handsome men are generally acceptable, and cute, charming older men also seem to be accepted fairly often. If you want to explore that further, you could make an offer to a Type B woman and ask about her mindset while having a meal together. On the other hand, if you feel that being judged solely on intuition would make the setting fee too risky, you might be better off making an offer to a Type C woman.

I’m Marika, a female member. After about six months with one of my papas (though we’d only gone on around four dates), we eventually became intimate. Right now, I have someone I see for dinner only, but I wonder if it might turn into that if he asks me out in the future. I don’t think it’s impossible, but I’ve let my guard down assuming he won’t ask me again lol. It’s not really about trust or anything like that—it’s more about the chemistry. Ah, but since he’s a Type C, maybe that makes the situation completely different.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. I’m actually the complete opposite—I’ve never smoothly moved into an adult relationship with someone from Group B on the second date. Only two women from Group B continued seeing me after the second meeting. With the first, we became intimate around our sixth date. With the second, it took a year. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea what was going through their minds, lol. Why did it take so long? It’s a mystery, but I never asked, so I suppose it’ll remain one. > Mac People tell me I have “the eyes of someone who’s about to kill” when I’m in a bad mood, so I guess I don’t have a very friendly face. And I’m bald, too, lol. On the other hand, I’m fairly softhearted, so maybe they thought they could keep stringing me along with dinner-only dates for as long as possible. It’s a mystery, but in the end, I’m basically timid and tend to get taken advantage of, so I’m starting to think the latter explanation is probably right. ^^;

I’m Kazu, a male member who has never held out until a third date. I don’t think it happens very often, which is why I’ve never continued seeing someone through a third date. Looking back at my own experience, about one in four B-type women I met twice didn’t progress to an adult relationship, so I stopped seeing them at that point. I think the idea that “a relationship of trust is built after the third date” only applies to women who are willing to enter an adult relationship as long as they trust the man, even if they aren’t physically attracted to him. You’re probably a man, but even men must sometimes think things like, “I want to sleep with this woman” or “I wouldn’t sleep with her even if I were given an allowance,” or even “I wouldn’t sleep with her for free,” either the moment they meet her or during the first date, right? What Maezawa said—“You can tell the moment you meet someone whether you can be intimate with them or not”—is, in my view, the male version of this, only with somewhat stricter criteria. A man wouldn’t keep meeting a woman he wouldn’t sleep with even for an allowance, or even for free, so that’s where things end. It’s pretty rare for a woman he wouldn’t sleep with for an allowance to suddenly become someone he wants to sleep with just because they’ve met three or more times. Women, however, have the option of thinking, “I don’t want to sleep with him, but I’m willing to have tea or dinner with him if I receive an allowance.” As they continue meeting, they may come to think, “I’m not physically attracted to him, but he seems safe enough, so maybe I can put up with it for the allowance,” or, “I don’t like his appearance or attitude, but he’s actually a wonderful person underneath. I’d be okay sleeping with him.” I believe this can happen. These are the women I was referring to when I said that “a certain amount of fondness has to build up first.” That’s why I think it doesn’t happen very often. Since I’m already meeting plenty of women who are willing to sleep with me on the first or second date, I don’t go on a third date with B-type women unless the relationship is going to become an adult relationship. There have been exceptions. Some women registered as B-type may only want to sleep with men around their own age, or may simply dislike sex in the first place. Whatever the reason, I assume that a woman who didn’t enter an adult relationship with me even after two dates just wasn’t meant to be. Thinking of it that way makes it easier not to dwell on things. The only person who knows the real answer is the woman herself, so there’s no point trying to figure it out. I also agree with what Mac wrote about “settling into a fixed relationship.” I do get the feeling that some women think, “If he’s willing to keep giving me an allowance without an adult relationship, I’m fine with continuing this arrangement.”
