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.

Rather than opening a new location, why not offer men of that caliber complimentary treatment? Everything free. It’s the same idea as letting male doctors attend matchmaking parties for free. Bringing in people at the top of the hierarchy would raise the overall level and revitalize the community. Strategically, it would be free for that very purpose. Universe already operates on a considerable scale, so allowing a limited number of com...

I’m not sure what you mean by “strategically free,” since you haven’t explained the strategy behind it.
If it were made free, by what percentage would overall activity increase, and what exactly would become more active, and to what extent?
I’d also appreciate it if you could explain what benefits this would bring to Universe.
That said, if you mean that first offers to women who haven’t received an offer for a certain period would be free …

I’m a male member, and I was wondering why the bust-size search categories are different on the smartphone and PC versions of the female member search page. The PC version starts with “A to C,” but A and C are quite different. I think the smartphone categories—A to B, C to D, E to F, and G or larger—are clearer and better suited to users’ needs. Is there a particular reason they were intentionally made different?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

> Why are the bust-size search categories different on the mobile and PC versions?
That’s because the mobile and PC versions run on different programs. There’s no deeper meaning to it.
As for the search function, I sometimes think it would be better to select two fields—“from” and “to”—instead of fixed categories like A–C. Then people could search for whatever range they prefer, such as A–G or B–D.
But even when we submit requests, nothing gets improved. It …

At Universe Club, roughly how many offers does a woman need to receive before she’s described as “being flooded with offers”? I understand it varies from person to person.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here—I’ll answer this one too.
First, if you receive even a single offer right after registering, you might think, “Could this turn into a flood of offers?”
Even if they don’t exactly flood in, you’re definitely going to become popular.
Then, if you get another offer on the same day, bringing the total to two, you may start thinking, “This could really turn into a flood.”
When a third offer comes in that same day, you’ll think, “Oh no, they really are flooding in!…

I have a question before registering as a member. I’m an 18-year-old college student and confident in my appearance. I’d like to blur the photo displayed to all members to avoid being recognized, but I can show my photo privately if a man requests it. Is something like this possible?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here—let me answer as well.
You can register with blurred photos.
If you’re confident in your looks, I think you’ll still receive offers even with blurred photos, so please come and register.
That said, considering that you’re worried about being recognized and are confident in your appearance, the new branch may be a better fit for you.
The new branch doesn’t have a member page, so male members won’t be able to browse your profile in a list.

I read that male members can view photos and videos of all the women, but if a woman becomes a member and receives an offer, can’t she view the man’s photo beforehand before deciding?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here—I’ll answer as well.
Women can’t see a man’s photo when they receive an offer.
However, there is a male profile feature that allows men to upload photos they’ve taken themselves and fill in their profile. It’s optional, so many men leave it blank, or fill it out without uploading a photo.
When you receive an offer, you can view that profile.
If you want to decide after seeing the man’s photo, you can let us know, and we can ask him what he thinks. However, he…

What matters is whether you fit the man’s preferred type.
For example, there are women who may not seem particularly cute to other women, but who men find so attractive that they want to approach them.

I registered with Universe because I wanted to meet and get to know different people. I’ve been updating my profile comments for that reason, but someone who had previously sent me an offer made a remark about it… I still haven’t met many people, so I can’t commit to just one person yet. Is my way of thinking wrong?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
A lot of women have the same concern, so please feel free to discuss it with our staff. We have solutions.
Whether you choose to use one is entirely up to you, but simply asking what options are available may open up more possibilities for you.
I think many women feel they can’t settle on just one person and would like to meet more men, so there’s nothing particularly strange about that.

I tried papa-katsu—or rather, looking for a mistress—and was surprised by how much harder it was than I expected. I’m very grateful for the help from the dating club, but even so, finding someone who’s exactly the right fit is incredibly difficult. It seems easy, yet nothing ever gets settled, and things quickly fall apart. Maybe that’s why these clubs make money?

Since it involves a man and a woman, I don’t think it could ever be simple!
But I also think that’s what makes it interesting.
You meet all kinds of men and women. Everyone thinks differently, you may or may not click with them, and the allowance can vary as well. There’s also the question of whether they’re your type.
Hopefully, you’ll be lucky enough to meet someone wonderful along the way.

People seem to be talking about a bug, but the search results for foreigners also seem pretty odd.

I asked the person who made it, and they said:
“I simply made it according to the specifications.”
So, it’s a “specification.”
Since that’s how it was designed, it seems the person who made it didn’t have any particular reason for it. I haven’t asked the person who wrote the specifications, though.
I can only assume it ended up this way for some reason.
If more people say they’d like this improved, we may make changes.

💬 Answer from 逢沢 大和:
Aizawa from Tokyo here.
Are you referring to the “Registration Date” shown on the women’s profile page?
This generally indicates the date she joined and does not change. However, for a while, women who had briefly left and then re-registered sometimes had a new profile created, so in those cases the date may reflect their re-registration date.
As a result, some profiles may show the re-registration date rather than the original joining date.

💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

I’m afraid my answer is the same: as far as I know, there’s currently no feature that lets you keep specific male members from knowing that you’ve changed your private photos or comments.
So it may be better to have your entire profile hidden from that particular man.
Alternatively, you could simply avoid changing your private photos or comments.

If offers come flooding in, we may sometimes make a profile private.

We then ask whether they would like their profile hidden.
So, if someone is receiving a lot of offers, I don’t think their profile would be hidden without their knowledge. That said, these proce…

I agree that even if you knew how many dates each branch arranged, I don’t think that would necessarily benefit women.
For example, you might decide to register because a branch has a high number of dates. But that doesn’t guarantee that you’ll receive any offers after registering.
Conversely, you might decide not to register because a branch has few dates, when in fact you might have received plenty of offers if you had registered.

How much time usually passes between the posts uploaded to the Tokyo branch’s Instagram, the newcomers’ page on the website, and the interview? The Instagram photos don’t show the whole picture, but they’re taken really beautifully, so I think, “She looks great.” But when I look at the newcomers’ page afterward, it doesn’t seem to match up at all.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

Basically, there shouldn’t be any time lag, but in practice, depending on the timing, there sometimes is one.
Since the lag may or may not be there—and the women’s faces aren’t shown—it seems to make identifying a specific person even more difficult.
If you see someone on Instagram and think, “I wonder which woman she is? I’d really like to make her an offer,” just contact our staff, and we’ll look for her on the member page.
