<Welcome to the Marriage Introduction Agency> Is Real Marriage Possible? [14]

I look pretty young, don't I?

While using a marriage introduction service, the most noticeable thing was that men were incredibly lenient with themselves.

Including myself, women tend to evaluate themselves harshly, especially when it comes to appearance!

How many times did I get my hopes up and then feel let down by the matchmaking team leader's phrase, "good-looking appearance"?

When the topic of age came up, without fail, they would...

It was like they were saying it with the feeling of, <It's a bit embarrassing to say myself, but it's too amazing to not mention.>.

"I look pretty young, don't I?"

I wanted to just tell them my actual age, but I didn't want to spoil the good mood, so I just went along with it.

Perhaps this lenient tendency among men stems from the women's responses that hide the truth?

While appearance is a subjective measure, so the standards are vague...

One thing is for sure: someone who truly looks young doesn't go around saying it.

So please, if you go on a blind date, avoid bringing that up first.

The other person also has eyes, so they'll notice and give you compliments or jokes.

Most people who say this seem to use it with the implication of "If you do it for me, then you should do it for me too."
