“The joy of being allowed to love someone,” “the person I love…”
These kinds of phrases come up often, but no matter how much someone who wants something in return—whether pseudo-love or simply attention—or wants others to cater to their ego writes about it, it’s completely laughable.
What do you all think?
I’m Taro, a male member.
The questioner’s Japanese is so idiosyncratic that I couldn’t make heads or tails of it, which is why my reply took so long.
I assume you’re upset in a sort of “you’re one to talk” kind of way, but this isn’t a place where saints gather to debate what’s morally right. I think it’s better to take things more lightly—as Flagmaker says, treat it as entertainment. That’s how I enjoy it too.
Take a look at the question right before this one. While a woman is seriously asking for advice about vaginal changes, there you are beside her, indignantly throwing around what sounds like righteous logic. That’s what I’d call truly laughable. “Laughable” literally means something so funny it makes you spit out your food. I don’t mean that in a bad way—I absolutely love the absurdity of this scene. Thanks for the entertaining laugh today. Well done.

I’m Maezawa from the president’s office, and I’ll answer this as well.
When you say the phrase comes up often, do you mean it’s appeared five or ten times?
I haven’t counted, so I’m not sure, but my impression is that it hasn’t come up nearly that often.
To begin with, I’m not really sure whose phrase you’re referring to.
That’s because you haven’t provided any basis for the latter part:
“People who seek something in return—pseudo-affection or simply wanting attention.”
Even when I’m asked about an imaginary person, I have no idea what you’re talking about.
And “people who want others to conform to their ego” is also something imaginary that exists only in your mind, isn’t it?
I ended up displaying this because it had quite a few answers, but I think you should understand that posts with incomprehensible content are unlikely to be displayed.

Haha! (LOL)
I’m with Pa. on this one!
I agree with what everyone else has said. Why not sincerely engage with the woman in front of you and see how it goes?
I think you should make your judgment based on the outcome.
If things don’t turn out the way you hoped, perhaps you still have more to learn. Go back to basics and start over with a new offer.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist.
① I think self-affirmation is extremely important in life.
② I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing those values publicly.
③ However, I feel it’s questionable to brag about or impose those values on others.
That’s how I’ve sorted out my own thoughts.
I took the liberty of analyzing it this way: perhaps Mac’s comments sometimes receive this kind of backlash because some people interpret them as having a tone closer to point ③.
That said, this is an anonymous Q&A forum. I feel it’s okay to step slightly outside the lines here, and since we can’t know what’s actually true, maybe we should take it more as entertainment.

I’m Kazu, a male member.
Is the part that says, “What do you all think?” the question?
When I hear a phrase like, “The joy of being allowed to love someone—to be the one who loves...” I simply think, “I see, that’s one way of looking at it.” That’s all.
You sound unhappy, but provoking the respondents by calling their answers laughable won’t make you feel any happier. I suggest changing your mindset, making offers with a calm attitude, and looking for a partner who can bring you happiness.

Love and results both take the long way around before coming back to you.
The longer—and more substantial—that detour, the greater and more wonderful the reward may be…
