I get the strong impression that women whose staff comments say things like “She’s proud of her prestigious academic background” tend to be difficult personality-wise. Is it just me?

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office will answer as well. You started by talking about the “staff comments,” but then: - One of the three cases was a private matter. - The other wasn’t mentioned in the comments at all—I only found that out later. If that’s the case, you’re essentially contradicting what you wrote yourself in the first place. (Only one woman actually had a bad experience with the person described in the comments. Presenting that one case as though it were common makes me think it may simply have been a coincidence.) There are also other parts that stood out to me. For example: “After getting drunk at lunch, we went to the hotel district.” Why would anyone drink enough to get drunk in the middle of the day? And: “When she tried to press the button for a cheaper room…” Taking someone to a cheap room… Even at a love hotel, rooms costing over 10,000 yen are generally decent enough. And based on the conversation during the meal, you should be able to get a sense of what kind of hotel would be appropriate. The fact that you don’t seem to pay any attention to the person you’re with and simply decide in advance that every woman gets the same cheap room seems to be the problem. You don’t seem to make any effort to understand what the other person wants. With that attitude, it’s only natural that things don’t go well. > Whenever I tried to talk, she completely refused to acknowledge my opinion. Based on the question you posted, though, you’re the one making the inconsistent arguments. If someone keeps insisting on opinions that are obviously wrong, and then says you refuse to acknowledge their point when you finally push back, the other person may well think, “Which one of us is doing that?” and lose their temper. > When we couldn’t agree on the allowance, she complained under her breath in English. If you couldn’t agree on each other’s terms for the allowance, yet you kept pressuring her to go to a hotel, of course she would have wanted to complain. If the allowance was too low for her, accept it gracefully and part ways. I honestly don’t understand why you kept negotiating.

I’m Dai, a male member. It’s not that highly educated women have difficult personalities; rather, it seems they’re being treated cheaply. Why not improve things by choosing a better room at the love hotel and offering a higher allowance? Also, people have always said that politics and religion are taboo topics, right? If anything, wouldn’t it be better to continue having the staff mention it in their comments, as they have until now, so that the person asking the question can avoid making offers to highly educated women?

I’m Taro, a male member. It’s not so much about education as it is about people who have that overly “woke” attitude. I’ve encountered someone like the second example within the past six months. As for the third example, I’ve come across about two men who reacted that way. They were bilingual and very accomplished, and yes, they were highly educated. But you can also run into difficult people who only graduated high school or vocational school. It has nothing to do with educational background. The important thing is to get away quickly when you meet someone troublesome. Beyond that, you need to develop an eye for avoiding people like that in the first place.

I’m Aya, a female member. I’ve received offers specifically because of my educational background several times, but I’ve generally been able to get along well with most of my papas (male supporters). So I can’t help wondering whether there might be something on the questioner’s end as well…

I’m Kazu, a male member. Regarding the first line of your question: > I get the strong impression that women whose staff comments say things like “She takes pride in her high level of education” tend to have difficult personalities. Is it just me? I’ve never made an offer to a woman with that kind of profile, and I don’t think I would if I saw one. Regardless of gender, people who use their university as a selling point seem like they’d be a hassle. The same goes for people who emphasize where they work. So no, I don’t think it’s just you. After reading your examples, I thought you’d made offers to some pretty colorful characters. How did you even manage to meet people like that? That said, I couldn’t relate to the first example, since I’ve never thought about taking a woman I met through a dating club to a love hotel on the first date. The second example sounds like the kind of thing you might see among male members too. As for the third, I think it’s more something a slightly obnoxious Japanese returnee might do than someone with a high level of education. Apparently, there are a fair number of members who make offers based on educational background. Personally, if someone had a master’s or doctoral degree, I’d consider making an offer because it could be interesting to hear them talk about their field of expertise. Oh, and you sound like a bit of a hassle yourself, questioner.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane. Um… I’m sorry, but I really have to apologize. After reading this, I couldn’t see the questioner as anything other than a person to avoid.
