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’d like to propose an idea that could significantly eliminate the “relationship-type scam” and “fake dinner-only women”*—the termites eating away at the foundations of dating clubs: “Women may not charge male members for transportation costs on the first date. From the second date onward, the amount may be decided through discussion with the man.” Meanwhile, the club would provide each woman with a flat ¥5,000 as a “date support paymen...

Thank you for your question.
I’m Kida, the site representative, and I’d like to answer as well.
There have already been so many excellent answers that I don’t really have anything to add, but when the person someone wants to hear from is the representative, I can’t help but jump in.
Actually, there was a time when I seriously considered trying the idea proposed by the questioner.
A very long time ago, I pushed through a campaign called the “Considerate Dating Campaign,” w…

There are quite a few typos and missing characters in the staff-written text on women’s profile pages. For some reason, it sometimes makes me view the woman herself about 5% less favorably. A common example is “I want to start my own business someday” being written with the wrong kanji, changing the meaning to “I want to establish a company.” I feel this could be reduced if someone at the office proofread the text, even if only briefly....

You appear to be a male member.
I’ve also thought, “Yeah, I do make typos and miss things,” when it comes to proofreading my own writing.
At my own company, I’m strict with my subordinates, yet when it comes to Universe, I’ve been rather careless myself. So your comment has given me something to reflect on.
Even when I notice a mistake later, I sometimes think, “Well, people can still read it, so it’s fine.” That’s the kind of pers…

I’m a male member. I’ve noticed that some women with a history of same-day cancellations—and whose ratings have dropped—later become staff recommendations and appear on the featured page. Even when I check their profiles, no reason for the cancellation is given, so I don’t understand why these women are being recommended again. This seems to happen mostly with women who are attractive. Is this simply up to the individual staff member’s ...

That said, it’s been quite some time since I left the field, so much of my answer is based on speculation.
I once found this strange too, and asked a staff member about it. A woman had received some very negative feedback, but it hadn’t been added to her profile, so I asked why.
They replied on Skype:
“I’m very sorry. It was overlooked. We’ll be more careful going forward.”

What is the turnover rate among Universe Club staff within their first year of employment? The person asking is the man who was recently given a dressing-down by the representative for “constantly dating multiple women, one after another.” I read a women’s column by Leaf in which they wrote something to the effect that “before you know it, you become a woman who always thinks in terms of money, and once you’ve stepped into a dating club...

I’m a female member in my 30s. When I first joined, I received offers, but lately they’ve decreased, and I’ve been dating a select few men on a regular basis. Some of them talk to me about the future, so I’m thinking of taking a temporary break, but what happens if I do? Will it show something like, “This person is currently on hiatus”? What I’m unsure about is that, even though they talk about the future as if they want to have me all ...

When you say “talking about the future,” do you mean marriage?
Let me put your question into my own words to make sure I understand it:

I was shocked by the figure “a 12% offer rate” (Mr. Yamagishi from the Business Strategy Department’s response to the previous question). I seem to remember seeing an offer rate of around 40% in an answer from several months ago, although the period covered may have been different. Even 40% made me think, “Wow, it’s really tough…” but at just over 10%, I even feel that it would be too risky. Since this is an important figure, could you ...

I’m a 26-year-old office worker, Type B, and it’s been two and a half months since I registered without receiving a single offer. I’ve realized that I’m not particularly young anymore, and apparently I’m not attractive enough in terms of appearance either. The interviewer was so enthusiastic while talking with me and taking my photos that I ended up getting my hopes up. It’s really sad—can I do anything besides continue waiting?
💬 Answer from 木田（社長）:
Thank you for your question.
I’m Kida, the representative, and I’ll answer this one.
Whenever a question comes in, an email is sent to every branch, so all the coordinators read it (although, despite that, no one actually answers). They’re probably searching the member site right now, wondering, “Who could this be?”
The male members may also be searching for someone using keywords like “office worker,” age 26, Type B, all areas, joined around the beginning of July.

After 30 years as a salaryman, I withdrew the ¥10 million time deposit I’d kept hidden from my wife and joined a dating club, but I’m happy to say I used it all up in my 29th month. Since this was something I did so I wouldn’t leave regrets in life, I have no regrets. It’s been a life worth living. I’d also love to hear a few words from the representative. Would that be possible?

Maezawa will answer as well.
“I have no regrets about my life.”
So you really were doing this just so you could say those words.
If you’re satisfied, then I have nothing more to say.
Thank you for everything.

The Q&A box includes male and female members among its respondents, but does that mean only certain members—such as those who write columns—can answer, while regular members can’t? Of course, the opinions of these core members are helpful, but I think it would also be interesting to hear answers from more typical, average members.
