<p> Matching apps are the mainstream for married people looking for a &#8220;second partner. Recently, however, &#8220;married couples&#8217; mixers,&#8221; where married people can meet a large number of potential partners in real life, are said to be very popular. A married reporter in her 40s from this magazine went undercover to find out.</p>
<p> For more information on the first half of the matchmaking process, please read &#8221; <a href="https://friday.kodansha.co.jp/article/347325">Part 1: A Married Man&#8217;s Matchmaking Party,&#8221; where men and women looking for a &#8220;second partner&#8221; get together in person</a>.

</li>
</ul>
<p> As I moved to the next seat, I noticed a woman in her 40s with a large bare chest. Without hesitation, I chose the seat next to her and sat down. Unfortunately, she was just on her way to get a drink, so I missed the chance to have a conversation with her. During the free time that followed, this woman was constantly surrounded by men. It was an easy composition to understand.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> When I looked at the seat in front of me, I saw a rather plain-looking woman, estimated to be around 40 years old, sitting there. She was nervous and did not make eye contact with me. I thought to myself, &#8220;This is a pattern of not getting the conversation going&#8230;,&#8221; but the man next to me seemed to think the same thing and did not seem to want to talk to me. I initiated the conversation myself.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I said, &#8220;Are you coming home from work today?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Woman &#8220;Yes, I work around here.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> Surprisingly, the woman&#8217;s face brightened slightly when I spoke to her. She said she works full time during the week and has a child in elementary school.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I &#8220;How did you come to the married men&#8217;s party?</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The woman said, &#8220;Yes, I was kind of interested and I can talk to people of the same sex.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Me &#8220;If you work weekdays, if you want to go on a date, would it be after work or on weekends?&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Woman &#8220;Yes, but if you want to go on a date, we can work something out.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Her somewhat familiar manner made me wonder if she already had a partner, so I asked her if she had a &#8220;second partner. I asked him about it, and he told me that he had a &#8220;second partner&#8221; whom he had been dating for about three months. He said that he met her on a matching app for married couples.</p>
<p> I had been using married person&#8217;s apps for a few months, but just matching up with a guy was a challenge. I wonder if it&#8217;s the same on the women&#8217;s side.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" And then it was free time. But in a surprising turn of events: ...... "></div>
<div></div>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span class="strongInContent">Free Time</span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p> The last hour is free time. Those who had just had a good time were not moving from their seats, and the women who would not have been approached by many men were talking with other women.</p>
<p> When I checked the specifications of the men again, I was surprised to find that many of them were good-looking. Some of them were quite handsome, and three women surrounded the man. This was no match.</p>
<p> Turning my attention to a slightly older age group, I found four or five men in their 50s surrounding a petite, good-looking woman who was probably in her mid-40s. Perhaps these friendly and easy to talk to women are more popular.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> It seems that I should give up talking to women. I had a conversation with a man in his mid-30s and three others in their late 40s.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">I asked them, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you do married-only matching apps?&#8221;</span> I asked them, and they both said they did.</p>
<p> I don&#8217;t get any <span class="strongInContent">matches at all,&#8221;</span> lamented a man in his late 40s.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Even if you do get a match, won&#8217;t you be able to continue the conversation?</span> A man in his mid-30s wondered, &#8220;Even if you do get a match, doesn&#8217;t the conversation never last?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;ve been doing this long enough that I&#8217;ve gotten used to it, and I&#8217;m meeting about two people a month.</span></p>
<p> When I said this, both men looked surprised. I explained a little about techniques for sending messages, etc., and they were happy to hear <span class="strongInContent">that I had gotten some good information.</span> But what was I doing here&#8230;?</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> I asked the men I had talked to if they wanted to have a regrettable meeting at the after-party, but none of them seemed to be in that kind of mood. I asked the men I talked to if they wanted to have a disappointment party at the after-party, but none of them seemed to feel that way.</p>
<p> While matching apps are the mainstream, married couples parties are becoming more and more popular in the real world. While the ability to meet women in person may be an advantage, it turns out that men have to have very high specifications to be able to compete. This is probably why the &#8220;second partner market&#8221; is heating up so much.</p>
