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.

A follow-up on golf: Why not have the club offer lessons for members who have never played? Or perhaps hold a golf tournament, similar to the parties you’ve been organizing lately? As Mr. Horie aptly advises in his book, “Women who want to date wealthy men should work on intimacy and golf.” I actually find it somewhat odd that women like me, who can’t play golf, are registered in the Black Class.
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here to answer.
Please don’t say something so outrageous!
How much do you love golf?!
I do think, “It would be amazing if I could do something like thatーーーー,” but for someone like me, it’s nothing more than a pipe dream.
I haven’t even been able to start playing golf myself, so I can’t recommend it to our staff or the women either.
I looked into Horie’s famous quote, but I couldn’t find it.

A further note on the flat-rate system. As you said, I failed to consider the explosive increase in workload for the club, so it was somewhat of a theoretical exercise. I would appreciate it if you could try it on a limited scope—for example, “Chiba,” “zero offers,” or “as a trial benefit for Black members.” I think it might be manageable under conditions this limited (by the way, I’m not a Black member in Chiba). I’m also concerned tha...

“Chiba, zero offers, blacklisted, unlimited settings”—just seeing those words is enough to strike fear into the hearts of the Chiba staff.
Seriously?
If they’re already throwing in the towel over the current number of settings, they won’t get anywhere. I’ve been thinking about creating some kind of system that would let them experience a different kind of busyness and gain it as a weapon of experience.
As one possible idea, I’ll consider a flat-r…

Here is a proposal to revise the flat-rate plan. Women eligible for the “flat-rate plan” should be limited to those who receive very few or no offers. Women who receive offers as usual should remain outside the plan and continue under the current system. Also, not all men should be eligible; it should be available only to “men who choose this option” or as a “black membership benefit.” The purpose of this option is not some stingy idea ...

I sincerely apologize.
I think it’s a very good idea.
Mizukami, did you really see through that??
With the way Universe currently operates, far too many women who are genuinely attractive end up worrying because they don’t receive any offers due to staff misjudging them and placing them in the wrong class.

This is a follow-up about Don Juan of Kishu. I was deeply shocked by the wording, “We would never simply hand over all member data.” If the police make a strong request, could they hand over “all member data,” including information on members other than Don Juan or the female suspect? I feel this is a very serious issue affecting the very foundation of the club.

Do men have an interview before joining, and can they join only after you’re satisfied with the outcome?

What exactly do you mean by joining only after you’re fully satisfied?
Do you mean that you’re worried you’ll go to the interview thinking, “I’ll just hear them out and decide later,” or “If they can clear up my concerns, I’ll join,” only to be pressured into signing up?

Would you consider a flat-rate arrangement? Various things in society are shifting toward subscription models. Trials are even underway for subscription services for cars, suits, and movie theaters. How about something like “unlimited offers for ¥1 million a year”?一
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here.
A flat-rate system—now that’s a fresh idea.
Pay ¥1 million and you can make unlimited offers to women. If you choose two platinum-level women per month, you’d get your money’s worth. That’s the idea, right?

💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here.
In my experience, gathering women who play golf can be somewhat difficult. I previously considered organizing events with women who play golf or go diving, but the plans ultimately fell through. The reasons were:
- There isn’t as much demand for women who play golf as you might think.
- There are very few women who can actually play a full round together.
- Among them, even fewer are attractive.
So, regardless of relationship type, it’s difficult to find young, …

I’m concerned about the rumor that the Don Juan of Kishu, who died under mysterious circumstances, was a male member of Universe and met his spouse there. Is it true?

Is it true that Don Juan was a male member of Universe, and that he met his wife through Universe as well?

I’d like to make an offer to a woman who was registered here until a few months ago, but whose profile disappeared without her realizing it. Is it impossible? Is there any last resort?
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Kida here with an answer.
Is there a way to make an offer to a woman who left the club several months ago?

When a member leaves, we generally mark their profile for deletion—essentially instructing the system to keep it completely off the website—and then gradually delete their personal information after a certain period of time.
So it is possible to contact a female member who left several months ago, and we have done so in the past.

I’m wondering roughly what percentage of women end up leaving the club without being able to enjoy a satisfying papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)—either because they receive no offers at all after registering, or only one offer or so.

Nice to meet you. I’m a woman. I’m contacting you because I’d like to register with a dating club. I have a small, discreet tattoo on the top of my foot. Will I be asked about it during the interview?

Nice to meet you. This is Kida.
The profile you fill out during the interview includes questions about whether you have any large scars or tattoos.
If you write, “A small tattoo on the top of my foot,” the staff member will probably ask, “Could you show me?” and check it visually. The conversation will likely go something like this:
“Oh, it’s small. Men hardly ever mind something this minor, but I’ll make a brief note of it in your profile, just in case.”

Ending with “I’m a woman” is pretty cool—kind of like *Hissatsu Shigotonin*.
The age limit for female members may be listed as fairly relaxed, “up to around 45,” but it really depends on the individual case. Some women in their 50s continue to receive offers, so it’s hard to turn someone down based on age alone.
That said, if you get too comfortable thinking, “Well, 43 is still young,” the call center might say, “We’d like to conduct an initial screening based o…
