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 think having 3,000 male members is impressive, but roughly what percentage of them are so-called inactive members? (Or, alternatively, what percentage make offers at least twice a year?)

Sorry for the delayed response.
Mochizuki from Systems Administration here.
Due to system-related limitations, we calculated these figures based on the number of dates for male members who joined in 2018, rather than for all members.
(Those who joined in the latter half of 2018 have not yet been members for a full year, so these figures cannot be considered completely accurate.)
First, here are the actual numbers:
Number of members who joined in 2018: 1,539

I always enjoy browsing this site. Reverse offers started today, and I was wondering roughly how many people have made their profiles public as of today, and how many have made their profile photos public. I’d appreciate it as a reference. Also, I received a like today, but it says the woman has either “left the site or hidden her profile.” Since she liked me just a few minutes before I checked, I’m wondering what happened. Could this b...

As of 6:18 p.m. on March 18, the number of men currently listed had increased to 332.
Of those, 252 had received at least one “You seem wonderful” vote. The man with the most currently has 14.
Since the site has only just launched, it looks like quite a few people are searching and sending votes.
The trend seems to be that men with higher incomes are more popular, though that’s just my impression from a quick look, so I could be wrong.…

Will I be notified the same day if I pass the screening after the interview?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
We’ll let you know within a week whether you’ve passed the screening after your interview.
In rare cases, we may be able to contact you the same day, but normally it’s difficult to get back to you that quickly.
Our standard is within one week, so we’d appreciate your patience.

I heard that a woman’s rank may be upgraded after her interview or a reshoot. Is the staff member who actually met her the one who decides on the upgrade, or can any staff member make the change regardless of who met her??
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
It also depends on the branch, and since there aren’t any specific rules, it varies from place to place as to who handles it.
Generally, whenever a woman is being moved up in rank, the staff member who met her will be consulted first.
That’s because only the staff member who met her knows why she was initially assigned that rank.
Even if other staff members think she should be moved up because she looks great in her photos and gets a lot of offers, they’ll u…

Thank you as always for your help. I’d like to ask about the number of offers. I’d appreciate it if you could tell me roughly how many meetings were arranged each month over the past year, as well as the approximate number of monthly offers women received at each level, from Standard to Black.

I’m a female member. If I don’t click with a man I met after receiving an offer and want to part ways after dinner only, how should I decline without making things awkward?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
This is a very difficult situation.
If you tell him on the spot, it can make things awkward, while ignoring him after you part ways is something men generally dislike.
So, if you’re able to end things after dinner only (no intimacy), I think it’s best to honestly explain the reason by LINE or another messaging app and tell him that it would be difficult to continue seeing each other.
The tricky situation is when you realize during dinner that …

I previously received an answer saying that it wasn’t possible to prevent someone who had already made me an offer from searching for my profile. However, if I individually ask for my profile not to be shown to specific people, such as Mr./Ms. ○○, would it be possible to prevent them from searching for it? Sorry if a similar question has already been asked.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
At the moment, there isn’t a setting that prevents people from searching for you individually.
They said they’ll decide whether to add that feature after seeing how things go. So, for example:
If they observe things for one month:
one month + the time needed to add the feature
If they observe things for three months:
three months + the time needed to add the feature
…and so on.
They haven’t decided how long they’ll monitor the situation, or whether the…

Maezawa here with an answer.
I think they may be able to give you a quick glimpse at the camera’s rear screen, but showing you all the photos would probably be difficult.
They used to be able to give people the photos they took, but sometimes photos taken at Universe would be used elsewhere. Then people would contact them asking whether Universe was using someone else’s photos—even though it was actually the other way around.
Also, when they showed all the photos, it somet…

This goes against the risks we’re facing. I believe male members should absolutely stop using profile photos that show their faces. Criminal groups could exploit them freely for blackmail. Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) has become so widespread that we’re now entering a phase where malicious outsiders are jumping on the bandwagon and running rampant. If we’re slow to detect and address this, the damage could be devastating. Pl...
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with an answer.
As you said, there are risks involved. That said, given the current trend, I feel that reverse offers are being welcomed for now.
It’s a common approach on dating sites, so it’s not exactly groundbreaking. Still, the fact that it can be done through a dating club seems to have quite an impact.
Of course, those who feel it’s risky can choose not to make their profile public, and it’s also possible to list no photos at all.
It would be dangerous…

I’m a male member looking forward to the likes event from female members. I’d like to see what the screen looks like when women check their phones so I can decide what to include in my profile. Are there any plans to publish a sample of what the female member screen looks like? (I already know which fields are displayed, since they were mentioned in a previous question.)
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
I accidentally asked the person developing the program whether they planned to publish a sample screen showing what the female members’ view looks like.
On the profile information page, there’s a button labeled “Preview.” If you click it, you’ll see exactly what the screen looks like from the female members’ perspective.

I’m 18 and female. I’ve graduated from high school, but I’m still officially enrolled until March 31. Should I wait until April to register?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
It’s perfectly fine to come in for an interview during March.
However, your registration will take place in April. Under our company policy, women who are 18 cannot be registered until April of the year they graduate.
If you come in now, there’s a chance you could receive an offer as soon as April begins.

How do I make a counteroffer? (>_
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
When a woman sends you a “You’re wonderful,” a notification will appear on the male user’s side.
Clicking it will show you which woman sent it. From there, simply send her an offer as usual, and the system will attach the information that she sent you a “You’re wonderful” along with it.
After that, things should proceed as normal.

It looks like reverse offers are about to start, but I’m unsure whether to make my profile public. If a malicious female member took a screenshot of my page and posted it somewhere, my profile could end up being exposed to the entire world, right?

As you said, that could happen if there were a malicious member.
Women worry about the same thing, too. I think you should weigh the pros and cons and decide what works best for you.

If you’re really concerned, you could make your profile public without registering a photo, or ask someone who’s good at portraits—or does them profes…

Have you ever felt that the kind of sex-industry operators who are rampant on dating apps have also infiltrated Universe? At another well-known club, someone who looked similar but was clearly a different person showed up once (at first I wondered if it was just the difference in how the photos turned out, but something felt off, and it was exposed during our conversation), which came as quite a shock.

I don’t use apps, so I can’t really say, but I’m registered with four dating clubs, and there are quite a few women who overlap between them.
Also, the introduction fees and allowances sometimes differ, too.
