Female members can send reverse offers to male respondents they like by emailing the administrator to express their interest. Male members can learn which female members are interested in them by answering questions and sharing their opinions.

I’m a male member of the Tokyo branch. Is it okay to tell the female member who introduced me to the event—including female members from branches other than Tokyo—about its existence? Am I not allowed to forward the email or share the URL?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
I think it’s fine to let her know that the event exists, but it would probably be better not to forward emails or share the URL.
Ideally, you could tell the woman about the event, and if she says she’d like to attend, you could contact the staff directly and say something like, “This woman is interested in participating, so please take care of her.”
That said, I don’t think you should tell her, “I’ll contact them for you, so don’t worry.” Each event has its o…

Is it possible to avoid or hide offers based on someone’s occupation? For example, I’m a nurse, so I’d like to avoid offers from doctors.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
> “I’m a nurse, so I’d like to avoid offers from doctors.”
I hear that fairly often.
At regional branches, we used to pick out the doctors and hide their profiles individually. However, if a doctor joined later as a new member, we might not catch it right away, so it isn’t a perfect solution.
Still, doctors who are members when you join can be hidden, so it seems safer than doing nothing.
If that still doesn’t give you peace of mind, you can register with a…

Should women with Dating Type C reschedule when they’re on their period? If our schedules rarely line up, I’m worried that rescheduling might mean losing an offer, so I’m not sure what to do. I’d like to hear both the club’s perspective and how male supporters feel about it.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
Unfortunately, at Universe Club, we generally don’t ask whether someone is on her period.
The reason is that the first meeting is assumed to be over a meal. Even if things don’t develop into an adult relationship (intimate) after the first meal, it’s normal for both parties to exchange contact information, so they can potentially pursue an adult relationship through free dating at a later time.
For that reason, the club’s policy is to arrange meetings regardl…

If I become a member of Universe, can I search for female members nationwide? Are new female members added every day?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers:
As you said, women from all over Japan can browse and search as well. Men in Tokyo can also make offers to women in Okinawa, for example.
In that case, the man would need to cover the woman’s round-trip airfare and hotel accommodation where she can stay on her own, separately from the allowance. It’s also possible to arrange the meeting in Tokyo, provided the woman is okay with traveling from far away.
New women are added every day, and their profiles appe…

I’m a homemaker in my 20s considering applying. I currently have a two-year-old and a newborn, and I’d like to do this while my children are at daycare. Does having young children put me at a disadvantage in various ways?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers.
> Is having a young child really a disadvantage in various ways?
There are two ways in which it can be a disadvantage.
First, some men prefer women without children because, even if the relationship becomes long-term, traveling together can be difficult—someone would have to look after the child while you’re away. So that may work against you.
That said, if the man isn’t looking for a long-term relationship, I don’t think it will be much of a disadvantage…

I heard that you need to provide your address when signing up with a dating club. Do they occasionally send postcards to your home? I’d appreciate your answers.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
Unless a member specifically requests it, Universe generally doesn’t send mail to members.
By “request,” I mean special cases such as asking for a paper receipt to be issued and mailed.
As for why they need your address, I believe it’s because the club needs to properly verify your ID and keep your address on file to discourage members from doing anything illegal.
Knowing that the club has their address may deter people from misbehaving—and if they do, legal…

I was the one who asked whether there are any male members in their 20s. There are only a handful, but they do exist. Of course, are they mostly business owners or doctors rather than ordinary people?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers:
My impression is that, even among people in their 20s, incomes don’t differ all that much from those of people in other age groups.
Their occupations vary, but based on their reported annual incomes (and these are only self-reported), some people in their 20s earn over ¥100 million a year, while others earn around ¥10 million.

I saw on Twitter that someone registered with this club received an offer from a man the same age. I’m a woman in my mid-to-late 20s, though I haven’t listed my exact age. Are there male members in their 20s as well?

We do have a few male members in their 20s, but only a handful.
Fewer than 40 out of 3,000 members...
Since there are so few of them, I think the chances of receiving an offer from a man in his 20s are extremely low.

Even in your 20s, would you be refused membership if you’re enrolled in an online high school?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

Unfortunately, high school students are not allowed to join, regardless of their age.
Legally, there’s no issue as long as they’re 18 or older, and anyone 20 or older is an adult and considered old enough to take responsibility. So, in principle, there shouldn’t be a problem.
I do think it might be reasonable to allow high school students aged 20 or older to join, but we’re taking a cautious approach and have decided not to allow it.

We’ve held one fairly large party in the Kansai area before, but I believe this is the first event of this scale in the Kanto area.

Former member here. My membership expired around September last year, and I never renewed it. However, while I was still regularly receiving information about LSE and other services, I started getting withdrawal symptoms. Would it be possible to become a member again? In that case, would I need to register through an interview again?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

As long as you didn’t cause any problems with other members, you can rejoin at any time.
However, the rules may have changed since you were previously a member, so you’ll need to meet with us in person for an explanation before rejoining.
That said, since you left last September and it’s only been six months, I recommend contacting the branch directly to ask whether you can rejoin without another interview.

This is where things get confusing: people who work at family restaurants, for example, may also be listed as working in the food and beverage industry.
So, on rare occasions, men misunderstand and say, “She works in the nightlife business, right?” But most of these women aren’t in the nightlife business—they genuinely work in the food and beverage industry.

I think some women have also chosen to remove the blur partway through.
As for whether you’ll receive more offers, your profile generally gets the most attention right after you register, and offers tend to decrease over time.
So even if you remove the blur now, I imagine you might receive around one offer a month. Even if the number does actually increase, I’m not sure you’d necessarily notice a significant difference.
That said, I do think i…
