Why do single male members choose dating clubs instead of dating apps?

I’m Dai, a male member. As for me, it’s because I don’t want to get married. I joined a dating club because I want to spend time with women while keeping a comfortable distance. The point of a dating app isn’t to get laid for free, right?

I’m Ayase Nana ♡ Actually, I’d like to ask you the opposite: why do you like dating apps? Dating apps are scary, you know. Didn’t you know that photos are apparently almost always misleading…? You can’t tell if someone is emotionally unstable or even who they really are. They might even show up at your workplace. If that happens, your social standing could be ruined. Are you really okay with that?

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here as well. > You can hook up for free on dating apps (sorry for putting it that way), and you can even find romance. Um… are we talking about 30 years ago? I’m sure things like that did happen in the past, but I’ve never heard of anything like that in this day and age. Well, perhaps a very small number of highly experienced men can still manage it. But I get the feeling there’s probably only one such guy per 100,000, if that. Then I suppose someone might say: “If you can easily pick up women just by approaching them, why are you using a dating app?” And the ultimate version would be: “Beautiful women come flocking to your house every day without you doing anything, and you can take your pick. So why are you doing this?” Something like that, perhaps? Wait—aren’t beautiful women coming flocking to your house? Actually, was the questioner a woman? If you’re a beautiful woman who, like an angel, grants all kinds of men’s wishes through dating apps, then I hope you keep up the good work. And I’d love for you to register with Universe as well.

I’m Kazu, a male member. For starters, with dating apps, it’s difficult even to meet someone you’re interested in. Relationships without an allowance come with their own complications precisely because there’s no allowance, and just because you’re single doesn’t necessarily mean you want a romantic relationship. When I was around thirty, I supported several women who wanted me to rent them apartments in prime areas of Tokyo. Even the women I was seeing at the time found it strange, wondering why I would make them my mistresses when I was only just over thirty, single, and seemingly able to find a girlfriend easily. In a typical boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, marriage becomes part of the woman’s outlook. Since I had no intention of getting married, I found a mistress-type arrangement—where marriage wasn’t on the table—much more relaxed and comfortable. Besides, in a normal relationship, I disliked the hassle of having to be considerate of the woman’s preferences, such as prioritizing what she wanted to do on dates.
