Science on Transportation Costs Again

Joe once quietly (?) wrote a column titled "Science of Transportation Costs."

When I gave the transportation expenses to the woman who made the offer in advance, the woman opened the envelope in front of me and confirmed the amount.I made a column.

Thinking about it now, it was a very embarrassing and unpopular act.

Even so, this column was the first time I received a comment from Ms. Mac, and two female members provided comments from a female perspective, which was very helpful.

So I have no regrets about what I wrote.

Is it the transportation cost issue that raises this issue again now?is often taken up in anonymous question boxes and elsewhere.

I'm sure there are quite a few members (especially men) who are a little bit fed up with this issue (actually, Joe is one of them), but is it the responsibility of the person who once wrote a column on this issue?I would like to write down Joe's personal views once again.

In order to organize the information, I tried to summarize the descriptions of the club's "transportation expenses" as far as Joe could confirm.


1 When going on a date, be sure to hand over the transportation expenses (5,000 yen to 1 yen as a thank you for the date) in advance.
(HP member agreement for male member PC dated January 2019, 1)

5,000. It used to be customary for male members to hand over transportation expenses (1 yen to XNUMX yen as a thank-you gift for Omeal Tate) to female members when they finished their meal. We ask for the cooperation of male members so that they can meet the female members and hand them over in advance.
(HP for male member smartphones Important notes and requests dated January 2019, 1)

1. Please give XNUMX yen for transportation expenses to the women in the BLACK class. (same as above)

2 Don't forget to hand over the transportation fee (about XNUMX years ago, there is no description about "message from the club" and "maedo" on the sheet distributed when joining Joe)

XNUMX "Confirmation of transportation expenses exists as a clear rule" (comment of a female member of Joe's "Science of transportation expenses")

There may be other rules about transportation expenses, but for now, this is enough.

how is it?Are there any rules you didn't know about?Did you know XNUMX in particular?

"I will decline the man, and if the transportation fee is in the envelope, I will confirm the amount."

That's the rule.

Male members have no way of confirming this rule, but are female members aware of it?

In an anonymous question box, Mr. Maezawa replied that the "advance" rule was "clearly stated in the membership agreement," but judging from the date, it is not as old a rule as he asserts, and XNUMX and XNUMX. The nuances are slightly different when you read and compare.

To avoid misunderstanding, Joe is not saying that the difference between XNUMX and XNUMX should be corrected.

The fewer the rules, the better, and I think a "gentlemen's agreement" is appropriate for the timing of handing over transportation expenses.

If it is XNUMX, I think there are more than a few male members, including Joe, who say, "If that's the case, let's cooperate."

Still, there is something I would like male members who have resistance to advance delivery to know.


XNUMX. It seems that there are a certain number of female members who are worried about whether they will be able to receive transportation expenses and are going on dates.

XNUMX. Every day, the club receives complaints from female members saying, "I couldn't get transportation expenses."


Knowing the above two points, I personally think that the timing of handing over the transportation expenses (although the club will be very angry) would be fine even at the time of dissolution.

A lot of great things?As I wrote, if you are asked, "So when are you paying your transportation expenses?" wry smile).

If I were to make an excuse that would not be an excuse, it would be Joe's first offer, or if he was clearly nervous or wary, or if he was extremely quiet, etc.

Let me give you one example.

Naoko, the woman I met the other day, was obviously nervous because it was Joe's first offer.

The voice on the phone also rises, and when he recognizes Joe, he turns bright red.

Seeing that, Joe suggested having tea in the lounge of the hotel where they met, in order to relieve the tension.

After we sat down and exchanged brief greetings, the first thing Joe did was to hand over a pocket bag (I'm sorry, Mr. Mac, I'm still using a pocket bag) containing the transportation expenses.

Naoko took it with both hands (her hands were trembling), and after thanking her politely, she said, "I'm sorry, but I'll check the amount," and checked the contents of the envelope.

I thought that if it was Joe before, I would have been angry here, and I looked at the situation with a smile.

After checking the contents, Naoko said with a big smile, "Thank you very much."

Of course, it's about Joe (bitter smile), so I didn't include "a lot".

It was a promotional offer, so Joe was offered at a significant discount.

of course?It's a secret from Naoko (bitter smile)

With this as an opportunity, Naoko's tongue gradually became smoother.

"I'm so happy I got the offer from Joe, I'm so happy. I didn't sleep well last night."

"Are you being praised?"

"of course!"

"I'm happy because I'm a person who doesn't get many compliments. Thank you for the 'You're nice' button."

After that, we moved to the restaurant on the top floor and had dinner.

Naoko let out a voice of admiration for each one.

“Joe-san, I have never eaten at such a fancy restaurant!

"I'm not confident in my manners either. Let's casually enjoy delicious food today."

"I feel relieved when you say that. When I was interviewed at the club, I was told that 'Many male members are strict about manners,' so I looked up table manners on the Internet yesterday."

"Did you look it up on Yahoo?"

“Kyahaha, Joe is a gentleman and a funny person!”

This is where Sakura-chan, Koi-san, Princess Nana, and newer Koumi-chan are all attacked (!) and crushed.

But Naoko-chan just smiled.

Her charm is "honesty".

And that "honesty" is at a worrying level.

That's why I act as I'm told by the club.

I hope you don't get caught by a strange man.

And may Joe not be one of them.

It's abrupt, but I'm reminded of a comment from a female member (Ms. Fanny Hill) in Joe's column, "The Science of Transportation Costs."

In any case, if you make an offer in the future, I think there will be another opportunity like this, so please do not be discouraged and have a strong heart.

There may be something outrageous sleeping in the woman who looks at the contents of the envelope.

Fanny, poor Joe, you are definitely making progress.

Thanks to that, I was able to meet a wonderful woman named Naoko.

I want to finish it soon.

I humbly propose to all male members.

It means "cooperate in prepayment of transportation expenses as a gentlemen's agreement".

Joe thinks of its utility in two ways.


XNUMX. Eliminates the anxiety of female members and can immediately gain trust

XNUMX.By giving it in advance, it can be an opportunity for male members to increase their experience points in various ways as the first allowance that is given directly to women.


Joe wants to emphasize XNUMX in particular.

That's why I'm opposed to the idea that Mr. Kida is considering "including transportation expenses in the offer price".

Please do not deprive the male members of the opportunity to increase their magnanimity.

That's Joe's modest assertion, who doesn't necessarily carry out advance delivery (bitter smile).
