I’m a male member. I’ve been a member for almost a year, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I haven’t been able to make many offers. From time to time, I see women whose relationship type has changed from C to B. What are the main reasons for this?

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. There have been several Type C women who, after deciding to continue seeing me, said, “Let’s switch to Type B.” I still meet some of them from time to time. The women I’ve had an adult relationship with have stayed Type C the whole time, with no change. On the other hand, those who haven’t had an adult relationship with me yet switched to Type B soon after I explained how the club works when they asked about it. I still haven’t even touched a finger, and rather than being closer to Type A, they’re essentially Type A—or so far removed from being suited to the club that it feels that way. But that’s also part of their charm… Meanwhile, some Type B girls who progressed to an adult relationship on the very first day eventually switched to Type C. To sum it up: - They switch to Type B because they receive an allowance comparable to what they’d get for an adult relationship even for dinner only, so there’s no longer any need for an adult relationship. - They switch to Type B because they’re essentially Type A and seem completely unsuitable for the club. There are probably other patterns too, such as having had an unpleasant experience. Still, compared with the hidden Type A girls among the Type B members, I find them very sweet and adorable, with no ulterior motives.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I can’t help but think that more than half of the women who registered as Type C switched to Type B, where they can turn people down, after having unpleasant experiences with persistent invitations from men outside their comfort zone on dates.

I’m Nana Ayase, a female member. You must have mistaken me for a D-type member when I’m actually C-type. Poor thing.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here. If they can’t make offers because of COVID, you might be better off leaving the club. People change their dating types for different reasons, so I think it’s best to make an offer and ask them directly. If you make enough offers, you may start to understand what circumstances lead them to change their type.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I think it’s because she’s tired of men assuming an adult relationship is part of the deal every time they make an offer, or because she already has an ongoing arrangement and wants to be careful about choosing any new partners.
