Would it be possible to contact the staff and ask them to make an offer to that man on my behalf?
If anyone knows, I’d appreciate your advice.

I think “You seem wonderful” is what’s generally called a reverse offer.
However, after reading the question, I found it creepy.
If you reversed the genders and saw a question like:
“I found a woman who’s my type, so I’ve made her several offers, but she hasn’t accepted any of them. Is there any way I can make it work?”
What would you think? I’d still find it creepy. Personally, if the same woman kept messaging me repeatedly, I’d honestly find it nothing but annoying.
I’ve received reverse offers myself, and I’ve also made several offers when respondents said they wanted to get to know other respondents. In every case, the women offered to cover the setting fee or declined transportation expenses and their allowance.
(Of course, I had no intention of asking them to reimburse the setting fee, and I accepted the transportation expenses and allowance because the former is part of the rules and the latter helps maintain social distance.)
Do you have that kind of intention, questioner?
If so, you could send “You seem wonderful” along with a message saying, “I’ll reimburse the setting fee, and I don’t need transportation expenses or an allowance.” The man might then reconsider.
If he still doesn’t accept, I think it would be best to give up.

Whether they accept or not, you may be able to ask the staff to contact special members, such as column writers or people who answer questions in the advice box.
Other than that, female members can’t make offers to ordinary male members.
Women don’t pay membership fees in the first place.
As for the man in question, he’s either someone who never proceeds from “You seem wonderful” or messages to making an offer, or someone who wouldn’t make an offer even after viewing your profile. Either way, making a reverse offer would be pointless.

I can’t.
Also, the effect of “You’re lovely” is really just that it may encourage an offer when it comes from a woman you’ve added to your favorites.

Who knows?
I mean, if he’s made his profile public, I assume he’s basically saying, “Isn’t there anyone interested in me?” And sending a message saying, “You seem wonderful,” is kind of like making a reverse offer, so if the man sees it and thinks, “All right,” he’ll probably make an offer.
That said, he may not have noticed it, so it might be worth asking the staff, “Could you recommend me to him?”

If he’s extremely susceptible to persistence, he might eventually make an offer if you keep messaging him, but given how the business is structured, I think that’s generally unlikely.
Thankfully, there are people who message me repeatedly, but no matter how many messages they send, I don’t think I would make an offer to someone whose appearance isn’t within my preferences.
My criteria don’t change just because someone contacts me through this Q&A box. I can’t speak for the other respondents, but my standards remain the same.

Send a reverse offer to this responder

I don’t think women can make the first offer.
The most women can do is send a man a message saying something like, “You seem wonderful.” Whether he reads it or not, anything beyond that is up to him, isn’t it?

At Universe Club—or rather, at any dating club—it’s probably not possible for a woman to make a reverse offer, is it?
Well… if you’re willing to pay the offer fee yourself, there may be some clubs where it’s possible.
Other than appealing to him by saying something like “You seem wonderful” or leaving a comment, I don’t think there’s much else you can do…
If the man you’d like to meet is the person who answered, you might be able to arrange it through Universe Club by writing a message explaining why you’d like to meet him!
