There was a man who bought me ¥150,000 worth of furniture and appliances, then faded away without any adult relationship or even a kiss. What was he hoping to get out of it? We met through an app, and after seeing each other three times, he asked if an adult relationship would be okay from our next date onward. I said yes, but then he stopped replying on LINE. I tried messaging him again a month later, but he left me on read. Several months have passed since then, and I still haven’t heard anything. Personally, I feel like, “Lucky me! Yes!” But most men wouldn’t be that generous without expecting something in return, so I find it strange.

I’m a male member, “Paper Airplane.” Men want to see the women they’re with enjoying themselves, so perhaps after those three times, he felt satisfied enough—especially since she had agreed to an adult relationship. In a sense, he may have felt fulfilled and decided there was nothing more he wanted, or perhaps he simply lost interest.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Maybe he had already entered into an adult relationship (intimate) with a woman, even if only briefly, and was satisfied with seeing her. Or perhaps he thought things had ended with a woman he was seeing, only for the relationship to resume.

Maybe he found someone who was a better match for him. Since you weren’t the one who ended things, just be grateful and make good use of what you received. Marika

I’m Tetsu, a male member. It would be a hassle to think, “Yay, I got it bought for me—lucky!” and start using it, only to suddenly get a message saying, “Actually, give it back.” It’s probably rare for someone to say that, but not knowing their true intentions at all does feel unsettling. Maybe they were simply the kind of person who genuinely enjoys giving gifts to others (lol).

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. > When he asked, “Would you be okay with an adult relationship from next time onward?” I said yes. As someone may have mentioned before, there are apparently some men who lose interest once things are about to become an adult relationship. For those men, the fun lies in pursuing the woman. Once they succeed in winning her over and she says she’s also okay with an adult relationship, their interest suddenly disappears because they’ve achieved their goal. I think that’s probably what happened here. Since you said you were okay with it, he lost interest in you. > Personally, I feel like, “Lucky me! Yes!” Well, if you had said, “I’d need to spend a little more time together before I can decide about an adult relationship,” he might still have bought you all kinds of things. So rather than thinking you got lucky, I’d say you may have let a big one get away. > Most men wouldn’t be that generous without getting anything in return, so it’s strange. I feel the same way, but there are all kinds of people in the world. For example, in the Universe Club, there seems to be a common attitude of wanting to receive an allowance for dinner only. But some women receive several hundred thousand yen a month just for dinner. It was probably simply a case of being exactly that particular man’s type. People like that do exist, although they’re rare. It’s a good example of why you shouldn’t assume everything based on preconceived notions.
