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 a woman in my 20s registered with Universe Club. While I was a student, I worked part-time recruiting event staff and introducing registered staff members to available assignments. (Sorry, that’s a bit confusing…) Does Universe Club not hire part-time staff? While I’m waiting for an offer, I’d be extremely motivated to work for you, even as a part-timer. I’d also be interested in hearing your thoughts from the perspective of handlin...
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
Unfortunately, we don’t hire women who are registered with us.
When someone is hired, they sign a confidentiality agreement regarding the handling of information, and there are penalties for violations, so in principle, it might be possible to employ them.
However, men understandably wouldn’t feel comfortable knowing that a woman they’ve gone on a date with might be working here—even with a confidentiality agreement in place. That’s the reason.

It seems the discussion about the new venue is more advanced on Hostlove’s Universe board than here, where a noteworthy, Columbus’s-egg-style proposal was made: “The new venue should be invitation-only.” It would be a shame if the new venue got off to a bad start, so shouldn’t this be considered urgently?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here with my answer.
I’m not sure what the staff at the new location will think, but if it’s invitation-only, only members from Universe will be able to join. If that’s the case, it seems like there wouldn’t be much point in opening a new location.
If it’s going to be invitation-only, wouldn’t it make more sense to do it within Universe itself?
For example, you could create a tier above Black—Diamond, perhaps—and invite only the more gentlemanly members of Universe…

I’m a woman. Are the contacts for registering with a new club and with a regular club different? Even if I go to a standard interview and am considered very attractive, does that not mean I’ll be registered with the new club?
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:

Yes, they are handled separately.

A question about the new location. I’m currently Platinum and thinking of upgrading to Black around next month. So my question is: if the new location launches, will there still be any benefits to becoming Black? Of course, being able to make offers to Black women would be one benefit, but I’m concerned that if special women, such as those in the Secret category, move to the new location, the benefits of becoming Black may decrease sign...
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
The new club is a separate organization. It also seems to attract a different type of woman.
So even if someone is blacklisted by Universe, that won’t reduce the number of people blacklisted by Universe. For that reason, I do think there are benefits to blacklisting them.
Of course, there is a possibility that women who originally intended to register with Universe may be drawn to the new club instead. But the same thing could happen whenever another dating c…

Why does the new club require male members to be at least 40 years old? These days, there are more diverse ways to make money, and there must be many men in their 20s and 30s earning over ¥40 million a year. I assume you based the membership requirements for male members on those of other long-established dating clubs, but I feel this age restriction is outdated and reflects old-fashioned thinking.
💬 Answer from 前澤（スタッフ）:
Maezawa here.
We set the minimum age at 40 because men over 40 are more likely to have plenty of life experience and have been through various hardships. We felt that people like that would be less likely to make women uncomfortable.
You could say it’s a place for adults.
Of course, there are surely gentlemanly, mature men who understand other people’s feelings even at 35 or 30, so deciding where to draw the line was difficult. However, generally speaking, we felt that few…

Could you introduce videos for the men as well? If women could watch them before receiving a formal offer and decide, “Absolutely not,” it would save us a great deal of time and money if they simply declined the offer. It would also spare the women from having to spend time in an uncomfortable situation.

When I read your question, I briefly thought it was a request from a woman.
At the same time, I wondered what percentage of men post photos on their profiles, as Mr. Maezawa mentioned.
(I might ask that in the question box myself!)
It would be wonderful if women could get a sense of a man’s overall vibe from his profile.
Maybe I should post a photo on my own profile, too.
Though I probably won’t.

Since dating clubs can’t arrange prostitution, I don’t think they manage allowances themselves, which are outside their jurisdiction, just as Mr. Maezawa said.

At Universe Club, we don’t get involved in the support provided in private relationships. The two of you will need to discuss what kind of support that will involve.
So if a man really likes you, I think there’s a good chance he’ll offer generous (well-paying) support, and he may even bring up a monthly arrangement.

I think there would be demand.
From your writing, you come across as somewhat humble, but also determined. It makes me wonder if you might be the type who really gives her all.

There are plenty of people who have relationships with 18- and 19-year-olds. It really is possible.
That said, it’s not with just anyone. Regardless of age, whether things can develop into an adult relationship (intimate) depends, I think, on your compatibility and the man’s ability to handle things.
