I'm thinking about registering with Universe. I've researched and understand the general process and what kind of place it is.

As for what to include in my profile, should I mention that my sense of smell is extremely weak?
I had a neurological illness as a child. I'm fully recovered now, but as a lasting effect, I can barely smell anything.
I assume the first meeting is mainly an opportunity to get to know each other over tea or a meal, so if many of you feel that you wouldn't enjoy having tea with a woman like me, I may decide not to pursue it.
I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
People inevitably start to smell as they get older, so if you don’t notice any odor during an adult relationship (intimate), you might be well-suited for this kind of activity.
You could write in your profile that your sense of smell is slightly weak. That should prevent any issues. If that were my preference, I’d make you an offer.

In my case, I was honest during my interview with Universe, and the staff asked me things like, “Would you prefer not to include this in your profile?” (*ˊ˘ˋ*)｡♪:*

Universe says to be honest with them, but unless your sense of smell is completely absent, I don’t think you need to go out of your way to disclose something like having a slightly weak sense of smell.
Also, I’ve never heard a man say that a woman was unsuitable because she had a poor sense of smell, so I don’t think you need to mention it during the interview.
> I feel the first meeting is really an opportunity to get to know each other over tea or a meal.
This isn’t a tea ceremony, so it’s hard to imagine them serving something on the first day where a keen sense of smell would be essential.
With black tea, for example, aroma can be an important factor, but tea is rarely the main focus. Usually, the meal is the main event.
If anything, I think the conversation is the main point—getting to know what kind of person the other is.
Whether she’s kind, whether the conversation flows, whether you enjoy spending time together… I think those things matter much more. So if you can win them over in those areas, I’m sure you’ll be perfectly fine.
Oh, but looks are important in this world too ＞＜

That means it affects your sense of taste too, right?
You don’t need to mention it in your profile, and registering shouldn’t be a problem.
I do wonder, though, how much they’ll be able to share your excitement when you want to enjoy a truly memorable meal.

If your extremely weak sense of smell affects meals or tea dates—for example, you can barely eat because food doesn’t taste good—then it might be more considerate to mention it in your profile or when making an offer.
If it doesn’t interfere with your daily life, though, I think it’s probably fine to bring it up after the relationship has started.
I’ve had hearing loss in one ear since childhood, but it doesn’t affect my daily life, so whether it’s with a papa (a male supporter) or a boyfriend, I generally only mention it after we’ve started seeing each other.
Fortunately, I haven’t met anyone like this so far, but if someone wanted to break things off over it, I’d just think, “So that’s the kind of person they are,” and happily say goodbye.（笑）
