I’m Flagmaker, a columnist.
It’s best not to take those surveys at face value. Read between the lines, and treat them as nothing more than a reference.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to say something like, “You wrote ___ on the survey, so ___ is okay with you, right?”
If you want to feel things out, it’s safer to keep it casual, along the lines of: “You wrote ___ on the survey, but don’t you get a lot of invitations from men for ___? Is that a problem? Haha.”
After all, those surveys are often filled out with an agenda—either to attract offers or to avoid offers from certain men. In many cases, people just write something that sounds plausible without giving it much thought.
I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this as well.
In the past, branch managers at Universe had a lot of authority, so I think the services and procedures varied from branch to branch.
(Now that there are no longer branch managers, I imagine the differences between branches have become smaller than before.)
Because of that, some women were asked the questions from the “Universe Mistress Diagnosis,” while others weren’t. Since it was also an optional section, I believe it was entirely up to each woman whether she answered it.
Answering the question about the “desired monthly amount” is optional too. Most women seem to assume they have to answer and do so, but I actually think answering it may carry more risks.
You seem to consider this important, but let’s say a woman writes:
“Desired monthly amount: ¥150,000”
I think different people could interpret that in different ways.
One man might interpret it as her wanting an allowance of ¥150,000 per meeting and think, “That’s ridiculously expensive. She’s no good.”
Another man might think, “If we meet five times a month and she wants ¥150,000, then she’s asking for ¥30,000 per meeting. Isn’t that cheap?” He might then pay her ¥30,000 at the actual date without saying anything.
But the woman may not have meant either of those things. She might simply have answered, thinking, “Around ¥150,000 a month would be nice.” So both men would be missing the point.
In reality, she may be hoping for ¥50,000 per meeting—or perhaps ¥70,000 to ¥80,000. Yet the desired monthly amount can be interpreted in whatever way is most convenient for the man, which makes it seem far too risky to use as a guideline.
I’m curious how you would interpret “desired monthly amount: ¥150,000,” but if you’re using that as an indicator, I don’t think that’s going to work.
(The woman’s actual wishes aren’t reflected in it at all.)
Capable men probably don’t pay attention to this anymore.
You can’t remain a beginner forever. Please become a man who can have a proper conversation with women as soon as possible.
