She’s a Type B woman, but she tried to pull down my mask and force a kiss, and tried to touch my butt at our first meeting. I feel uncomfortable—what should I do?

I’m columnist Fuu. If you keep pushing for transportation money, you might end up in an even worse situation. So, unfortunately, just give up on the transportation money, dash away from there, and report him to Universe Police! That papa is seriously an idiot. You’d think he’d understand that behaving like an ungentlemanly creep could get him permanently banned.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well. Since this was your first meeting, I assume this happened during a date arranged through Universe Setting, while you were still only at the dinner stage: He tried to kiss you (so you were able to refuse), and he tried to touch your butt (so you managed to brush his hand away). If that’s what happened, please give the club some feedback. He’s probably doing this habitually. Come to think of it, there was a man who repeatedly received complaints for touching women during meals. We warned him each time and told him, “This is your final warning,” but he touched someone again and another complaint came in. He nearly ended up being forced to leave the club. I’d be a little surprised if that same man were still doing it, but surely this is a different man. (I believe that man had made an offer to Woman C.) In any case, please keep giving the club feedback. Also, if someone tries to kiss you, you should wait until their lips actually make contact, then reject them and call the police. If you’ve confirmed that you’re in an elevator or somewhere with security cameras, it may be best to refuse only after the fact of being forcibly kissed has occurred. The other person could be arrested for indecent assault. “Is there really any benefit if he gets arrested?” Oh, absolutely. If he’s a respectable person, he’ll probably hire a lawyer, and the lawyer will likely approach you about a settlement. You might be able to receive around 500,000 yen. Incidentally, in developed countries, including Japan, it’s perfectly normal for apologies to be expressed through financial compensation. Please understand that the woman has done nothing wrong; it simply means that the man’s desire to apologize was worth 500,000 yen. However, saying, “You kissed me, so pay me 500,000 yen,” could constitute extortion. The basic approach is to say something like, “He kissed me against my will… sob.” Likewise, saying, “I don’t want money—just apologize and get down on your knees,” could constitute coercion. So when you’re angry, the right thing to do is to act vulnerable and ask the police for help. Of course, none of this would happen if men didn’t force themselves on women. The point is that men should behave like gentlemen, and those who can’t should face the appropriate consequences.

I think you should just say, “Please stop.” Marika

I’m Basil, a male member. Even if it’s something people normally expect once you go to a room, if it wasn’t agreed upon, then—as everyone says—it’s grounds for a complaint. Consider them someone with no common sense and leave right then and there.

I’m Dai, a male member. There’s really nothing else to it. Give the club your feedback, and don’t meet her again. That’s all.

This is Nana Ayase ♡ Please let us know by name through your feedback or LINE messages with the staff that something like this happened. Even if he’s a Type B, what was that supposed to be? How rude! (angry) As Kazu-sama said, I don’t think it would be acceptable even for a Type C or Type D. You really had an unpleasant experience. I wish those delusional idiots could be wiped out. You should’ve said, “You touched my butt, so please give me a ¥50,000 allowance.”

I’m Osaka, a male member. Now that I think about it, there’s no need to imagine the situation—it’s unpleasant enough as it is. Just give them some feedback, have a drink, and try to forget about it.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I think you should just tell him that you feel uncomfortable. After you part ways, you should also give the club your feedback. As an aside, I don’t think it’s okay even if you’re a Type D.
