Hello,

I’m Tatsuaki Dan, a staff member in Tokyo, and I’d like to answer as well. When talking with male members about their hobbies, I often hear about golf and driving. When interviewing women, I frequently hear that they enjoy watching movies, anime and manga, or going to the gym. For example, how about asking the man about his hobbies in detail, trying them yourself, and then telling him, “I actually gave it a try!”? This may be assuming a long-term relationship, but he would probably be pleased that you took the time to try something he enjoys. Also, by actually doing it yourself, you’ll gain some knowledge that you can use in future conversations. I hope you’ll consider this suggestion.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. It’s probably safer to talk about things men aren’t usually very interested in, like beauty or handicrafts. That said, there are some unconventional men out there, so I’d recommend choosing a topic you have at least a little basic knowledge of.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. Aren’t you curious about the life and history of the men you meet? Men who are a certain age have usually gone through all kinds of hardships and experiences, both as students and when they were young working adults. I find those life stories incredibly educational, so I often ask my senior male acquaintances about them. Sometimes a story from a respected senior I honestly underestimated makes me admire him, while other times a supposedly important senior turns out to have nothing substantial to say. Still, if you take an interest in the person in front of you and really listen, doesn’t the conversation naturally expand? Of course, that includes bragging too. But there’s still plenty you can learn from it. I imagine quite a lot of men want to talk about themselves.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well. Thank you for your question. I think you may be focusing on the wrong point. It doesn’t seem to be about your educational background, but rather the fact that your hobbies are “reading and visiting art museums.” Everyone has different hobbies, so I think it’s fine to be honest. However, if things haven’t gone well for you because of that, you might want to come up with some dummy hobbies to talk about when meeting men. Actually, that seems to be what you’re asking about. In that case, anime may be a good option, even though it isn’t particularly popular with men. That way, I don’t think anyone will call your interests too highbrow. You might have trouble if they ask which anime you like, though, so perhaps you could read plenty of novels—including light novels—that have been adapted into anime, choosing ones that match your existing interest in reading. Incidentally, Mobile Suit Gundam has also been adapted into novels, so you could try reading those as well. Though the anime and novels differ considerably, so that might get a little confusing. There are plenty of other options, too. If you’re looking for more recent recommendations, perhaps these?

You seem to like chaotic, off-the-wall things. (笑) You might also enjoy Black Lagoon, famous for the line, “Nobody can climax in missionary position,” or Deca-Dence, known for the quote, “I didn’t want to change the world. The truth is, I wanted to change myself. I hate who I am now. I wanted to have confidence, so… that’s why I fight.” > I really couldn’t go back to being a respectable member of society after getting seriously into The Prince of Tennis. Countless women have become obsessed with Prince of Tennis… It can’t be helped. (笑) > Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo W-Well, now that you mention it, I suppose it could be considered sexual. (笑) As for Kino’s Journey, it was made into an anime years ago, but they recently made another adaptation, didn’t they? There’s an episode where someone is removing a railway track, and when Kino continues along the line, she finds people ahead laying tracks for everyone’s benefit. It’s wonderfully surreal. The currently airing Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina has a somewhat similar overall atmosphere to Kino’s Journey. > Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious At first, I thought he was simply cautious, but it’s nice how his painful past experiences are what make him so careful—so he won’t repeat them.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’ve never really cared about that at all. I don’t have a PhD myself, but I once searched for women with doctorates because I thought it would be interesting to make an offer. Maybe you’ve simply happened to receive several offers in a row from men who do care about it. I can’t think of any hobby that would appeal to every man at a dating club. At first, I thought of sex, but some narrow-minded people might call a woman who lists sex as a hobby a “bitch,” so I ended up unable to think of anything that would appeal to everyone. As an aside, if you list reading as a hobby on your profile, I think it would be a good idea to mention your favorite genres and authors as well. With things like reading, listening to music, watching movies, and appreciating art, I feel that you may have absolutely nothing to talk about if your tastes don’t align.
