On my first date, he said, “If you’re from the countryside, you should be able to walk instead of taking a taxi,” and made me walk from the station to a hormone barbecue restaurant quite a long way away. I was wearing heels, got blisters, and they burst on the way home. It was the worst.

I was shocked that telling someone where I’m from could lead to such a tragedy. I was also disappointed that it wasn’t Italian or French.
Of course, I cut him off.
How do you all answer when someone asks where you’re from? It seems pretty clear that it’s better to lie.
I’m Fuu, a column writer.
I’m sorry for the ungentlemanly behavior.
Not all male members are like that, though, so I hope you meet a good papa (a male supporter) through your next offer.
Since my work takes me on business trips all over the country, I find that conversations go more smoothly when my hometown sounds as believable as possible.
Personally, I tend to like people from rural areas. Most of the girls who continue with papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) come from the countryside.

Marika’s answer says it all.
You just happened to deal with the wrong person. It’s perfectly fine to answer normally when asked where you’re from. Since it’s personal information, though, it’s also okay to keep it somewhat vague.

Even if it’s not your first date, you’d take a taxi, right? I’ll do my best to make sure you don’t have to walk any more than necessary.
You wouldn’t go to a horumon restaurant—and, I mean, who would actually want to?
With a letter date, you directly discuss what kind of restaurant you want to go to, so this can be avoided too. If they don’t even ask what you’d prefer, that’s already a risk, and you can cut things off immediately without ever meeting…
As for your hometown, you should tell the truth. You just happened to run into someone bad.

That has nothing to do with where you’re from. And I guess you didn’t know that people in rural areas tend to drive more and walk less.
Taking someone to a horumon barbecue restaurant on a first date without even asking about her preferences is just not okay.
What a terrible date—you really had bad luck.
I answer questions about where I’m from honestly, without going into any unnecessary detail.

Unless a woman specifically says she wants hormones/offal in her dining preferences, I wouldn’t take her to a place like that for a first date. So it probably wasn’t because you told him where you’re from that he made you walk so much. He was simply a somewhat unusual person.
I’m sure that even if you’d answered, “I’m an Edokko,” he would have said that people raised in the city should walk more for their health once in a while（笑）
When I’m asked where I’m from, I answer honestly. I don’t think you need to lie about your hometown either.

Exactly. People from Tokyo actually walk more.
