I really appreciate the women who write “mistress profiles”—their feelings come across, and they provide so much helpful information. To support women like them, perhaps it would be easier to find them if the search filters included an option for whether they have a mistress profile or not. Please consider it.

Kida, our representative, will answer this one. To cut to the chase: “I love feedback like this.” You could ask me about it three more times, honestly. I’d like to make the “mistress assessment” even more sophisticated. I imagine male members use all kinds of information in a woman’s profile as clues when deciding whether to make her an offer, so they can get a sense of her values. “Her club comment is short and curt. I wonder if she’s not particularly distinctive.” “Her own comment sounds like a sales pitch, so she seems very professional. Is the black hair just part of the act?” And so on. Our club staff’s comments are highly valued as objective opinions, but writing them manually is a considerable amount of work. After interviewing five women in one day, it’s impossible to write five passionate, lengthy comments. If we could write things like, “She was unattractive inside and out, had a rude attitude, and seemed to have bad breath. I just wanted her to leave,” it might be cathartic—but of course, we can’t. We have to work hard to find something positive to say. That’s why it’s ideal if a woman’s personality comes through in the words she writes herself. The allowance a woman hopes to receive is one of the most important factors for both male and female members, yet our internal policy says we’re not allowed to ask women about it or tell them the going rate. The going rate for allowances isn’t something for us to decide. Whether it’s one million yen or one hundred yen, what matters most is that both people are satisfied and can maintain a long-term relationship. That’s why things get awkward as soon as we start asking about the amount. Rather than starting with the amount, I’d like people to discuss the terms based on the person they’re dealing with first. But we still need some clues. If the mistress assessment can serve as one of those clues, then it’s a win-win. By the way, I’d like to keep using topics like this to put pressure on W, our in-house systems engineer, so I appreciate your continued support. I’m currently watching his reaction to see whether he might incorporate this into the system as a programmed feature.
