I’m already registered with Universe and am thinking about joining another club as well. I looked through all the ones whose names came up in my searches, but I’m having trouble deciding because some have very few reviews, while others haven’t updated their websites in a while, so I can’t even tell whether they’re still operating.
I don’t know anyone around me who does papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), so I have no one to ask for advice. That’s why I thought I’d ask here. Also, there are people on Twitter—affiliate marketers, maybe?—who say they can introduce you to clubs. If I consulted one of them, would they really be able to make an introduction?

I think it’s better to figure these things out through your own trial and error. I’ve tried various approaches from the man’s perspective, and in the end, the information I gained through my own experience was tens of thousands of times more useful than any advice.
In my experience, the clubs clearly fell into two categories: those with women who had good personalities, and those without—or, more precisely, clubs where the women hadn’t been properly informed about how dating clubs work. And this trend stayed the same even after several years.
With Universe, the difference is that women of types A and B are fairly common. In fact, someone coming to Universe from another club could easily mistake a type D for a type C. It’s also difficult to get a sense of how much allowance they’re hoping for, whereas at other clubs, it’s relatively easy to estimate. Another difference is that the pool of registered women is overwhelmingly large, though the quality is very mixed. I imagine it’s probably similar from the women’s perspective too.
In my experience, the differences are fairly easy to recognize. Once you’ve done a certain amount of trial and error, things generally turn out more or less as expected.

I think places with names like Tokyo, Ginza, or Aoyama seem promising. I’d recommend ones with higher membership fees for men and a larger number of male members.
I don’t really trust Twitter affiliates. Once, just out of curiosity, I contacted one, but they said they could introduce me to a sex-work service. I immediately declined. Maybe they thought they could take advantage of me because I’m in my 40s.

What do you think of SALON?
There may not be a huge number of offers, but I’m really glad I signed up with SALON! I’m not burnt out or anything—I’m having fun.
Above all, the staff are genuinely kind and treat even someone like me with such care. I’m incredibly grateful.

I personally think my own company is the best, so I can’t really recommend any other dating clubs. However, from what I hear, some women are registered with multiple clubs.
That said, there also seem to be dating clubs with rude staff, and some women are upset about that.
I also think it depends on how well you fit with a particular club, so I’d suggest searching for yourself and going to interviews at the ones that seem promising.
One thing to be careful about is that some dating clubs may charge you a fee when you try to withdraw—even if you’re a woman—so I think it’s best to look into that beforehand.
Also, if you find a dating club that suits you well, please let me know.
For better or worse, Universe has the largest number of active female members in Japan, so competition among women is high. A woman who gets overlooked at Universe may really stand out at a club with fewer female members.

I’m pretty money-minded, so I mainly chose clubs with high membership and annual fees for men.
As a result, I met a wonderful papa (a male supporter), so I don’t think my choice was wrong.
Universe is probably on the cheaper side, though there seem to be even less expensive clubs, so I’d say it’s somewhere in the middle.
So, if I had to give one piece of advice, I’d suggest checking the websites aimed at male members.

I can’t say how it is for women.
Affiliates receive a referral fee when they make an introduction, so I think they’ll genuinely introduce you to someone.

There’s nothing wrong with asking, but people usually aren’t going to tell you, “This is the best place.”
I think it also depends on your age and location. You could do your own research online and compare what you find, or ask a papa who’s easy to talk to and has experience with other clubs.
I don’t know much about affiliates, but I don’t use them because it annoys me to think that someone would get a kickback just because I went on a date with them. Mac seems to know a lot about affiliates, though.
