I'm Mac, and I’m not particularly knowledgeable about Type B.

I’m Dai, a male member. Personally, I find the hardest women to win over are those who want to become genuinely close before entering into an adult relationship (intimate). They say it takes a fair number of dates and that the amount of the allowance isn’t the main issue—they may even turn down offers of 100,000 yen pay-per-meeting or 500,000 yen for a monthly arrangement. I’ve made offers to about three women like that—Type B—and it hasn’t worked out even once…

Maezawa from the President’s Office here—I’ll answer this as well. > One type clearly distinguishes between men they’ll have an adult relationship with and “dinner-only” papas. If she’s the type who makes that distinction clearly, she would probably ask to be registered as Dating Type A. Basically, Dating Type B means: if an adult relationship is possible, they proceed; if not, they part ways then and there. Even if they agree to see each other for dinner only, that would be considered misrepresenting their dating type. So if a man invites her out but she decides she can’t have an adult relationship with him, it won’t turn into a dinner-only arrangement—they simply won’t meet again. Therefore, if the man is okay with dinner only, he has to tell her that himself. Otherwise, they generally won’t meet again. > The other type is the kind of woman who “can’t say no.” Because she knows she won’t be able to refuse when asked, she tries to protect herself, at least by setting her dating type. She’s quite a devoted, earnest type. I think there are just as many women who can’t say no among Type C as among Type B, so I don’t think this is limited to Type B. If anything, there may be more of them among Type C, but I haven’t conducted a survey, so I can’t say for sure. That said, I feel like it’s more often Type C women who contact me saying they weren’t given their allowance or that the man didn’t use protection. I think these situations happen partly because they have trouble refusing when asked. The men who take advantage of that are absolutely the worst, though. (If everything was consensual, the club wouldn’t be contacted.) As for the Type B “encyclopedia,” I feel like Type B probably covers every possible pattern. There are women who can have an adult relationship on the spot when they meet, and who have ended up doing so with quite a few men, but still say, “I’m choosing Type B.” (Decisively.) I’ve even had someone say to me, “You thought I was going to choose Type D, didn’t you?” (笑) There are also women who initially chose Type C but later say, “Having tea and then going to a hotel is a bit much… I’d like to try having dinner together too, so I’m switching to Type B.” I feel like Type B probably includes almost every possible pattern.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane. I feel like both of those are either C or closer to C. With a straightforward B type, even when it comes to an adult relationship (intimate), factors beyond the allowance tend to matter more, so the priorities feel different.

I’m Nana Ayase♡ The reason I previously changed to Type B was that, when I was Type C, one person I was seeing pressured me to have unprotected sex and told me I absolutely had to be intimate with him that day, even though he was seeing many other women. I learned a lot from this Q&A and was told that being Type C doesn’t mean you have to be intimate that same day, so I switched back to Type C. Also, I met someone wonderful and thought I’d be happy just having dinner with him as Type B.

I’m Osaka, a male member. The Wavering Type B This is just my personal opinion, of course. They may have been invited by a friend and want an allowance based entirely on information from that friend, but fundamentally, they’re still unsure about papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) itself—or even about meeting a man who makes them an offer. Since they can’t get started without an offer, they register anyway, but keep wavering while leaving things largely up to others. They also seem unable to take precautions unless someone gives them advice. Things move forward when the man is proactive, but they continue to hesitate. Even if a kind man comes along, their lack of decisiveness makes it feel like pushing against a curtain.

I’m Kazu, a male member. “B type for now.” You choose your relationship type when you join. You figure you won’t get any offers as an A type, while C type sounds scary, so you choose B type and say you’ll decide after meeting. You could also call it putting off the decision. You start with B type just to see how things go, and since there’s no particular problem, you simply stick with it. I get the feeling that people like this make up the largest group.
