Your website’s “Introduction to Female Members” says that a female doctor joined the Kobe branch. Is that really true? Do you describe 〇〇〇〇 as a female doctor? This kind of thing is a little disappointing.

Kida, the representative, will answer this. So, the occupations listed for female members on the website were not their actual occupations as shown on the members-only site—is that correct? I sincerely apologize. This was something I instructed them to do. I remember saying this about five years ago: “Don’t list their real occupations on Instagram. That would greatly increase the chances of someone identifying them online, right? No man is going to make an offer based solely on an Instagram photo, so use a fake occupation.” I still feel the same way today. It truly warms my heart to see that they followed my instructions so faithfully. However, I’ve only just realized that this also means we were attracting customers by lying to them. I am deeply sorry. When you click on a woman’s photo, it should take you to her profile details. We will add the following note near the bottom of that page: “※To protect the privacy of our female members, the ages and occupations listed above are fictional. Their actual ages and occupations are not disclosed.” Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. ※The question we received this time included an actual occupation, so we have edited it with the details redacted.

Maezawa here. The Instagram photo and the accompanying text aren’t necessarily directly related. Sometimes I write about a woman other than the one shown in the photo, while other times I write about the woman pictured. The staff decide which approach to take based on whether they think the woman could be identified. This is done to help protect the women’s identities. By the way, are you hoping to meet a female doctor?
