I’m really into younger women, and I strongly want something that feels like a romantic relationship. But would a woman around 30 years younger than me actually see me as a romantic prospect? I’m around the same age as her parents—or possibly even older than them. In that case, would my only option be to offer an adult relationship? Thank you in advance.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I’m sure there are women who are willing to go along with a pseudo-romantic relationship. When it comes to relationships between men and women, there are countless things that only the two people involved can truly understand. If you assume from the start that such a woman doesn’t exist, you’ll never find one. As you seem to have realized, with a significant age gap, the chances of love at first sight are extremely close to zero. But if you take your time and build her trust, you may eventually be able to develop that kind of relationship. If you want to experience a pseudo-romantic relationship without taking the time to build one naturally, you might consider looking for a woman who’s willing to play along—someone who will act the part.

I’m Mak, a member of the Tokyo staff, and I’d like to answer as well. This may not be the most romantic thing to say, but 99% of our female members don’t sign up looking for love. Some may offer the experience of a simulated romance—which I believe is one difference from the sex industry—but I think it’s best to enjoy the arrangement as something casual and keep it from developing into genuine romantic feelings.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “pretend romance,” but since it’s pretend romance and not actual romance, I don’t think you need to worry about whether she’s someone you’d be romantically interested in. What matters is whether she’s willing to play along with the pretend romance. After all, pretend romance is one-sided, isn’t it? As other respondents have mentioned, I don’t understand the idea that being a Type D woman automatically means anything in this regard. Type D women are proactive about adult relationships (intimate), not necessarily about becoming the object of someone’s pretend romance. I don’t think pretend romance and adult relationships are related at all. There are probably many different forms of pretend romance, so if you want to meet the kind of woman you’re looking for, you’ll need to make offers to various women and figure out through trial and error what works.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. > I really want a simulated romantic relationship. But do you think a young woman about 30 years younger than me would see me as a romantic prospect? Well, I think that’s unlikely. You’d be dating an old man, after all（笑） Forget the simulated romance and just enjoy yourselves as a grandfather-and-granddaughter type of relationship.

Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer this one. Thank you for your question. Actually, I think it depends on the man’s overall appeal. If he’s attractive in his own way, women may gradually come to genuinely like him. Of course, money is part of the relationship, but in other respects, some women will treat you just like a real boyfriend. So, if you’re the kind of man who: - Sees money as a given when he wants a romantic relationship - Isn’t stingy with the allowance - Doesn’t act arrogant toward restaurant staff (people who don’t do that actually come across as more stylish) - Doesn’t become condescending just because he’s paying an allowance - Takes good care of his appearance and hygiene then I think you can really enjoy yourself. Some women are uncomfortable dating someone older than their own parents, while others aren’t. If you join the Black Class, you may be able to ask the staff whether a particular woman is comfortable with an age gap. Even in the other classes, you can sometimes get a general idea by reading the club comments. And as you make offers to different women, I think you’ll gradually get a feel for it. The post makes it sound like women don’t want offers from D, but you could also view D women as open-minded women who are willing to accommodate a man’s wishes. Assuming that D women are only interested in money or that they’ll sleep with anyone can lead you to the wrong conclusion. That said, I understand wanting to meet C women, since that’s part of why people register with a dating club. However, the acceptance rate for C women is 50%, so it’s best to make an offer only after fully accepting that one out of every two attempts may not work out. Of course, I’ve heard that highly attractive men have success rates close to 100%, but don’t forget that the basic rate is 50%. Once you join, make some offers, and go on dates, I think you’ll start to see that there really are women you can enjoy spending time with. Naturally, you may run into various disappointments before you get there. But in a way, those experiences are what make it even more rewarding when you finally meet a wonderful woman.

I’m Flaren, a male member! As for whether there are people who see their partners as potential romantic interests, I’m sure there are. But you want to connect “sex and love,” while considering a Type D arrangement, where “sex and love” seem to be kept separate. That sounds like a pretty low-odds strategy to me. Winning someone’s heart isn’t exactly easy. Isn’t “sex” actually your priority? Besides, pseudo-romance and a romantic interest are two very, very different things.

Today, I was mistaken for someone in his 30s, so I’m one very happy male member—Paper Airplane. Maybe not worrying about it too much is the key to staying young? Honestly, as long as you’re only about 30 years younger, you can still find a girlfriend, even outside the club. So start by having some confidence. When we see girls that much younger than us, we can clearly distinguish those around 18–21.2. But once they’re around 23.4–26.7—or, to broaden the range, 23.4–31.2—it gets pretty hard to tell. Actually, I don’t really care how old they are, and I don’t think much about what age range they fall into. I’m not even trying to distinguish between them. What matters is whether I like the woman, not her age. If a girl likes you—or rather, if she wants to date you—I don’t think she’ll overthink it either. Since she’s receiving an allowance, her thoughts may naturally lean toward a more positive image. The more she likes you, the more it seems to grow from “my ideal,” “my type,” and “my kind of guy” into “wonderful,” “young,” “handsome,” and “good-looking.” (Even my girlfriend, whom I’m actually romantically involved with, never compliments me this much…) That makes things more enjoyable for the woman too, of course—and for the man as well. And it’s more likely to last longer… P.S. Papuwa, thank you for pointing that out. You’re right—saying they can be clearly distinguished does sound creepy. I’m sorry for making you uncomfortable. What I meant was that adult women over 20 can be of indeterminate age—which is part of their appeal—whereas women who are still around 20, before they’ve fully entered adulthood, have a sort of dividing line that makes their age easier to tell. But… huh? Aren’t those two things basically the same? Did I cross the line? Words are difficult… I’ll reflect on this. Oh, and one more correction: I’m so happy that I’m grinning no matter what anyone says… Wait, is that even creepier? I’m just a simple-minded idiot, so please forgive me.
