I’m worried that people I know might recognize me from my photo, so I can’t bring myself to sign up. Is there a chance they’ll find out?

Maezawa here. There is a chance you could be recognized if someone you know is among the male members. So if you happen to know men who are financially well-off, I think it’s best to be cautious. That said, you can register with a blurred photo, which may reduce the chances of being recognized. However, this will also reduce the number of offers you receive, so it isn’t necessarily the best approach. Still, if you’re worried about the risk, registering with a blurred photo may be worth considering. Dating clubs have their advantages, but they also have drawbacks. We take great care with the security of members-only pages to prevent outsiders from finding out, but we can’t guarantee that they’re absolutely risk-free. Please consider the pros and cons carefully, and register only if you feel comfortable with them.
