So...
Um...
This is from Pipi-san.
Pipi-san?
Yes.
Okay, Pipi-san.
Okay.
Pipi-san.
Okay.
Um-hum.
Um-hum.
Um-hum.
Um-hum.
Oh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Um...
Do you think that at 21...
Um-hum.
If there was... if you met a girl and she said that she's never dated somebody...
Yeah.
Would you put a filter on her?
Like, would you... do you think that there might be a potential something that would drive people away?
No.
No.
Do you?
A little bit.
Oh, really?
Just a little bit.
Okay.
Like, I would... I don't know.
If it's not noticeable at all.
Like, if I talk to somebody and if that person is perfectly normal...
I might wonder why.
Okay.
Okay.
I don't know. Am I a horrible person? I don't know.
No, no, no.
I just...
I would... I would wonder why.
Okay.
Like, I would want to know the reason why.
Okay.
Maybe just have no opportunity.
Like, haven't been...
Isn't that enough to you?
Yeah, yeah. That's enough. That's enough.
Is that enough?
That's sure. That's enough.
Okay.
But I'm...
If...
I feel like I can sense if a person's trying to meet somebody.
Then, like...
Like, talking to somebody for just 10 minutes.
03:02
Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know.
But I feel like I can tell if that person is able to create opportunities or not.
Okay.
Like, if that person has the ability to...
If that person wanted to make a relationship, then he...
Then she'd be able to, like...
Yeah.
Go out there and meet new people.
Or like, spark up a conversation.
Or like, use a dating app or something like that.
So...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Like, so...
Yeah.
What I wanted to say...
Yeah.
Is, I think that creating that experience is important.
Okay.
I think, like...
Being able to, like...
I mean, you know...
Being able to say that you have experience is important.
But not for the sake of, like...
Not for the sake of the status of that you have had experience.
But like, you know...
You yourself of, like...
Oh, I've experienced this before.
Like, the confidence that comes from it.
Right?
Yeah.
Confident from the experience that you have had.
An experience.
Is impactful.
Yeah.
I feel like.
So, I guess...
Completely judging just from the text.
Yeah.
I don't have...
I have zero context.
Of course.
But it's possible that you might setting your...
Bars too high, maybe.
That's one possible reason.
Maybe, yeah.
Right?
So maybe lower that bar.
And just at least have an experience.
Maybe your heart might not fully be in it.
But like...
I don't know.
Try it.
It could be a solution, I guess.
What do you think?
Yeah.
That...
That's one possibility.
Yeah.
Only a possibility.
Yeah, true.
But maybe that...
Maybe she's...
She's got maybe...
I don't know.
High expectation to the other guys, maybe.
Or maybe...
Waiting too much, maybe.
Like...
Okay.
You're not making action.
Yeah.
You're not taking action, right?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Well, just, you know...
Those are just simple possibility.
We don't know about her.
But...
But to me that's not a bad thing.
So it's just...
06:02
You know, she's saying that...
"I think it's a little weird."
Or like...
"I think she's crazy."
"She's going to get attracted to me."
You know, I don't feel that way.
Like...
I can guess like as you said, same here.
Or maybe she...
If you talk to her and she's quite...
Like normal to me.
Or like cute to me.
And she...
If she says that I haven't...
Never had a boyfriend.
Then maybe, oh, okay.
She has some reason.
But you know...
That's not something that...
"Hikaresou na" thing to me.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it's just...
Okay.
Right.
Like it's never so far to the point that like...
"Hikareru" or like...
"Hennakishita to omou areru" or something like that.
Yeah.
Right.
Like if you make some...
"Kakuno kareshi"
That's a little more...
You know, difficult, you know?
Right.
You make the situation a little bit more difficult, you know?
Right.
Now you're stepping into the "hennakishita" zone.
True.
Yeah.
Hmm.
I mean, you can.
I mean, now you have dating apps.
Yeah.
Right?
The Internet's by your side.
True.
It's on your side.
So you should utilize that.
Yeah.
Right?
If opportunity is the problem.
True.
Right.
True.
If there's no men in the workplace, you've got the Internet.
Yeah.
Right?
Of course.
Yeah.
But you know, to me that's not a problem at all.
Like there's...
I know there's friends who are into like football.
For like, you know, fully into football and do nothing other than football.
So he's got... he's kind of, you know, a cool guy actually.
He can do whatever.
But he's got no girlfriend for like completely like long, long years.
But you know, having no partner is not...
Itself is not a problem.
But there are, you know...
True.
The reason is important.
Right. Right. Right.
Right.
I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if you just want to have a partner, that's a problem.
If that's a problem to you, then you can go to the application.
Or like...
09:00
I mean, the question is, does she want one?
Right?
True.
Did she say...
I don't think she's actually said that she actually wants...
She's desperate for one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But she's saying that...
You know, those things.
She didn't say she wants.
She's just worried about the fact that she's never had a boyfriend before.
That's true. Yeah.
Well, then that's not a problem then.
Yeah.
It's not a problem.
If you want to have one and you cannot make it, then, you know...
Right. There's got to be a solution.
We have to give a solution.
Yeah.
We can do something.
Right. Dating apps.
Yeah.
Whatever stuff.
Yeah.
But if you worry only about those people out there...
And you're only 21.
Yeah.
Right?
You're only 21.
Of course.
Yeah.
You don't need to worry about that.
Yeah.
So no need to worry.
Right.
Okay.
But you shouldn't make a kaku no kareshi.
Yeah. That's a bad idea.
Don't step into that world.
That's a bad idea.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
