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.

How do you feel about the fact that roughly half of the women don’t receive any offers? “Eh, that’s just how it is. ( ´ー` )” Or: “Hmm, I feel kind of bad about that. (´-ω-`)”
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida, the club’s representative, will answer this question.
If the person asking is a male member (or male user), I feel the message is:
“Hey, Kida—if you don’t do something about this, doesn’t your club stop being the women-first club you’re always talking about? Huh?”
So I’m writing this with some anger, but honestly, I feel:
“I’m truly sorry.”

Do you research your competitors? (By the way, our company has sent spy employees to three rival companies.) Even if you don’t call them spies, for example, the company president could become a heavy user of SugarDaddy to learn from it—just that sort of thing.

Universe has what I believe is the largest membership of both women and men in Japan.
(In fact, recruiting male members is several times more difficult.)
The amount of information that flows from there is enormous, which, in its own way, feels even more frightening than having a spy.
I belong to four different dating clubs, but not places like SugarDaddy or online sites. I’m registered with clubs that require interviews and charge relatively h…

There’s a theory that “the cute girls who would have come to dating clubs two years ago don’t seem to be coming to Universe as much these days. I wonder where they’ve gone.” From the perspective of Universe’s staff, do you also get that impression in your day-to-day work?
💬 Answer from 斉藤さんだぞ♪:
I’m Saito♪, a columnist.
Actually, I feel the same way as you do.
And the fact that you noticed this two years ago makes it feel especially real.
I also felt that the atmosphere in the dating clubs started to change around last November.
We’re kindred spirits. lol
There could be several reasons.
① Truly high-caliber women only stay registered for a brief time before disappearing while remaining “secret.”
② In the past, the standards for both men and women were consid…

Type A seems to be disliked, but in terms of numbers (including those pretending to be otherwise), they’re probably the largest group, right? Depending on how they’re marketed, they should be a gold mine. Doesn’t Universe have any ideas? (Like that producer who succeeded with a new business model of marketing all the unsellable, deadweight talents “as one package.”)

Unlike the idols of the past, who were seen as unattainable stars, it would be more like an “idol you can go see.”
It’ll be okay. (Probably.)
Kida has been receiving all kinds of ideas. (Probably.)
I suppose the only question is when Kida will decide the time is right to make it happen.

Are people in Dating Type E getting more offers? How does it look by class? There are around 20 of them at the moment, right?
💬 Answer from Responder:
Mochizuki from the site administration team here.
It’s been about a month and a half since we changed Dating Type E (the change was made on November 8).
During that period, there were five dates nationwide: three Standard and two Gold.
As for whether it’s growing:
Looking at the approximately month-and-a-half period through November 7, 2018, there were zero offers for the former Dating Type E.
Even over the past year, there were only about 10 former Dating Type E offers …

I’ve heard that Universe receives around 10,000 offers a year, and that there are about 8,000 registered women. So, if you simply divide the numbers, does that mean each woman gets only about one offer at most?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
We currently have around 8,000 women registered, but the total number of women who have ever registered with us exceeds 34,000. That’s because some people join while others leave.
That said, this is beside the point.
As you said, the average works out to about one offer per person.
However, around half of the women receive no offers at all, while some receive more than ten, so I don’t think the average is very meaningful.

On the pricing strategy for the Black tier at dating clubs. Unless a woman is exceptionally outstanding, wouldn’t registering her as Black actually work against her interests? Wouldn’t it be better to register women as Platinum by default, then promote them to Black if offers start pouring in? There are far too many Black profiles right now that make me scratch my head.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
I think promoting someone to Black when they start receiving a flood of offers is a good idea.
But the problem is when someone who should originally be Black is registered as Platinum, causing offers to pour in.
Why is that bad? When women are inundated with offers, they often end up quitting.
In the worst case, after only about the third offer, they might simply leave a message saying, “I can’t make it today after all,” and then disappear without responding…

What percentage of women with a standard membership receive offers?
💬 Answer from Responder:
Mochizuki from Systems Administration here.
I’ve compiled the figures for the entire period since Universe was founded.
In the Standard class, 13,017 women have registered with us to date, including those who have since left, and there have been 2,253 dates.
That works out to 17.3%.
I got curious, so I took a look at the other classes as well:
Gold: 15,282 registered women, 9,811 dates — 64.2%
Platinum: 4,991 registered women, 8,879 dates — 177.9%
Black: 1,128 register…

Sometimes there are girls who look undeniably cute in their photos but are listed as standard. Are they people to avoid? The staff didn’t make any particular comments.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
If the staff member’s comments don’t say anything negative, it probably just means she wasn’t that staff member’s type.
It’s also possible that your preferences simply differ from theirs.
If she’s a person to avoid, there will probably be some subtle negative wording in the comments—for example, “She isn’t able to use polite language...” You should decide whether whatever is written is something you personally can tolerate.
Either way, if she seems like your…

A sex god?
I’m not sure there are people like that, but—
One of these days, a staff member might come forward and claim to be one.
If everyone thinks someone’s a sex god, they probably still have a long way to go. I feel the real ones tend to operate quietly, without drawing attention to themselves.

Can I meet women like Fujiko Mine or Maetel? How many are there?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
I searched for a character named Mine Fujiko, but couldn’t find one, so I’m assuming you meant Fujiko Mine.
Since both Fujiko Mine and Maetel are two-dimensional characters, it’s hard to say how close someone would have to be for you to think, “She’s just like that.”
There was someone in the past who had a Maetel-like vibe.
(She didn’t actually look much like her, so it was more the atmosphere. Unfortunately, I can’t really remember who it was if you ask me…

Have men ever been refused membership because of their age?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
There is a minimum age requirement for membership, but no upper age limit.
So I don’t think anyone would be refused membership simply because they’re older, and I haven’t heard of anyone being turned away for that reason in the past.
I wondered what age is considered “elderly,” so I looked it up. Apparently, a 1956 United Nations report defined it as “65 and older.”
So it seems people aged 65 and up are considered elderly.
At 65, you’re still full of energy…

When I keep seeing women from the same branch, the excitement gradually fades as I get used to them. On the other hand, when I occasionally look at women from another branch, I find myself thinking there are so many attractive women.

You get tired of beautiful women after three dates, don’t you?

I’m a 26-year-old female member who joined about a month ago. I filled out my profile and mistress questionnaire right away, and uploaded several selfies as well. Even so, I haven’t received a single offer, which has made me realize that I must not have much appeal as a woman… At what point, roughly, should I consider quitting if I still haven’t received any offers?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
The reason you aren’t receiving any offers may not simply be a lack of appeal on your part.
Sometimes staff accidentally place a woman in the wrong class, which can also result in no offers.
(We’re not allowed to tell women which class they’re in, so I can’t provide that information.)
For example, a staff member may like a woman so much that they place her in the highest class. From a man’s perspective, he may think, “I’d make her an offer if she were in th…

Are there usually a lot of arrangements on Christmas Eve? I’ve heard there may be lots of offers, but many don’t work out because the women aren’t available. Or maybe there are simply fewer offers from men because they’re busy getting cozy with their main partner? As an aside, I’ve also seen quite a few comments from women like: “I’ll be spending Christmas alone. Waiting for someone to ask me out on a date!”
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
Quite a few women already have plans on Christmas Eve, so I sometimes feel that “I already have plans” is a common response. However, many women also say that they have plans on ordinary days, so I don’t think it’s especially common just because it’s Christmas Eve.
Offers are generally made well in advance, and it’s not as though there are overwhelmingly more offers limited specifically to the 24th. They’re also handling offers for days other than Christmas Ev…
