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 impressed that UC keeps coming up with fresh ideas instead of becoming repetitive. By the way, I find the “Sounds Great” system very interesting. (Actually, lately, whenever I make an offer thinking “this is the one,” I’ve been completely striking out because of scheduling, so I thought there wouldn’t be any more updates.) All the people who have sent me reverse offers are rated C or D—is it just me? Part of me is happy, since it fe...

I’m not sure. Perhaps one of the staff members who likes crunching numbers will share the figures at some point.
I was curious, so I looked at the five most recent people who went from a reverse offer to receiving an offer:
- Three were rated B
- One was rated C
- One was rated D
Looking at this, it seems like there are quite a few B-rated people.
But if you look at it from the other angle, perhaps the men are thinking, “She came from the B group, but since…

Are more men allowing their profile information to be searched? And roughly how many men have posted a profile photo?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
There were about 300 men who allowed their profile information to be searchable on the first day, but that number has now grown to 435. It’s gradually increasing.
It’s difficult to give an overall figure for how many have posted photos, since there’s no way to filter for photo-posting members. However, among the top 30 members ranked by the number of “You’re lovely” reactions, 13 have posted photos and 17 have not.
That means 43.3% have posted photos.
Lookin…

I’ve made my profile public and am using the reverse-offer system. About 30% of profile views lead to a “You seem wonderful” message. I’m not sure whether that’s a lot or a little, but I’m grateful to all the women who reach out. At the same time, though, I’ve started to feel bad that I can’t make an offer to everyone. It’s frustrating not being able to send even a simple thank-you or explain that I can’t meet because of the distance. F...

> It’s frustrating not being able to send a simple thank-you or let someone know, “We’re long-distance, so I can’t meet you.”
Even if the system doesn’t allow it, the staff may be able to help.
Please send the name of the women’s club and the message you’d like to convey to the staff.
It will add to their workload, but I’m sure they’ll pass your message along to her.
If they refuse, contact me directly. I’ll send the message on your behalf.

I’m a Platinum-class male member. When women send reverse offers, are they more likely to send a “You seem wonderful” message to Black-class male members?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
Among the top 30, 16 were Black and 14 were Platinum.
So, rather than there being a tendency to send them to Black, it seems more accurate to say there’s a stronger tendency to send them to both Black and Platinum.

With the reverse offer system, how many “You seem wonderful” messages do male members receive on average? I don’t disclose my income, but I’d like to know how many I might receive under those circumstances. I’m wondering whether I should disclose my income.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
Right now, the person who has received the most “You’re wonderful” reactions has 90.
The person with the fewest has 0.
It seems that most of the information on the profiles with 0 reactions is hidden.
I haven’t calculated the average, but among the 428 people currently visible, the person ranked 214th—when sorted from most to fewest—has received 12 “You’re wonderful” reactions.
So if you have more than 12, I think it’s fair to say you’ve received more than …

Hello. I have a quick question. Are photos and videos of registered women posted on a website that only members can view, and male members can look through them and make offers, right? I assume you meet if your schedules work out, but can the woman see a photo or anything of the man beforehand? Do you really meet without knowing anything at all about what he looks like or what kind of person he is? Thank you in advance for your answers.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers:
As you said, men browse women’s photos, videos, profiles, and other information through a members-only page, then make an offer to women they’re interested in.
If the schedules work out, they arrange to meet.
In principle, women cannot see the man’s photo in advance.
However, perhaps partly thanks to the reverse-offer campaign, more men are gradually adding photos to their profiles.
(Though there still aren’t many.)
So if you receive an offer from a man …

💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
We can’t know the exact figure unless the other clubs disclose the number of active male and female members they have.
That said, my gut feeling is that, as you suggest, it’s around 60%.
I’m being fairly modest with that estimate, though. So many women come to register with us that we may actually have a 70% or even 80% share.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know the actual figure.

Men have a list of people who’ve sent them a “Nice” reaction, but is there a similar feature for women that shows a list of men they’ve sent “Nice” to? If you keep tapping it, wouldn’t you eventually forget or lose track of who you sent it to? Like, you might make someone an offer but not remember whether you’d already sent them a “Nice” reaction...
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa answers:
When women search men’s profiles, they can see which men they previously marked as “Interesting.”
It’s not exactly a list, but they can tell from there who they’ve already tapped, so I don’t think they’d fail to remember or forget.

Where can I check reverse offers I’ve already received on the member page? I believe they were displayed in red in the upper-right corner of the member page on the day I received them, but they stopped appearing sometime yesterday, so I’d like to know how to view my past reverse offers.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
On the PC version, you’ll find the “You’re Lovely ♡” list under “Edit Registration Information.”
On smartphones, it should be on the first page.
The notification in the upper-right corner appears when you receive a new “You’re Lovely ♡.”
Also, please note that these disappear after 30 days.

It seems that many of the female members who have clicked “Sounds lovely” registered recently. I assume they learned about this campaign because they visit the website frequently, but do most female members who no longer visit the site often not know about the campaign? Don’t you send out a mass email about it?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

As you said, I do think it would be better to announce it directly to everyone at once.
However, after taking various factors into consideration, it seems they decided to announce the campaign on the website instead.

If women don’t receive any offers after clicking “Looks great,” I feel they may eventually sto…

At Universe Club, we don’t currently ask whether someone is married. We only ask whether they have ever been married—that is, their marital history.

What do members who receive a lot of reverse offers have in common? I’d love to know if there are any key factors, such as being registered in the same area as female members, belonging to a certain age group, disclosing their income, making their photos public, or having a detailed profile.

Now that “You seem wonderful” has started, are you seeing any activity, such as offers coming in after sending a counteroffer? Are men still waiting to see whether the number of “You seem wonderful” messages increases, or, as you mentioned in another answer, are many putting things on hold because they passed on someone they were interested in after receiving a “You seem wonderful” from them?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
There’s actually been quite a bit of activity from reverse offers turning into offers.
That said, it’s not possible to make an offer to everyone, so even if a woman receives a “You seem lovely,” she may end up thinking, “Why haven’t I received an offer?”
For example, the person who currently has the most “You seem lovely” responses has received 73. However, perhaps because he’s busy, it seems he hasn’t made any offers this month yet.
