I’d been hesitating for a long time, but I finally found the courage to join.

Welcome~

Welcome!

You should definitely include private photos. They can give you a push and help men decide when they’re on the fence. Sometimes, when it’s hard to make a decision based on the profile photos alone, having private photos can be what leads to an offer. And from a man’s perspective, once he makes an offer, he won’t remember whether he saw your comments, the staff’s comments, or your photos. (To be honest, I don’t remember whose private photos I looked at or what they showed. So if someone asks, “Did you see them?”—especially if they ask what was in them—I panic and instinctively give the safe answer: “No, I didn’t.”) Things you should avoid include app screenshots, posting nothing but extreme close-ups of your face, photos where your face isn’t visible, side-profile photos, and so on. I don’t think comments or calendars are necessary, either. Especially if you keep changing your comments, you’ll quickly rise to the top repeatedly and end up being remembered… > Potassium Your private photos really do make a difference. It’s interesting because men and women think almost completely opposite ways. Those earnest, endearing comments probably work even better in combination with the photos, too.

Above all, use natural-looking photos. A smile is usually the safest choice. If you’re confident in your figure, swimsuit photos can work well too.

Potassium here, a female member! First of all, congratulations on joining! I also thought it would be better to post some photos at first, so I uploaded a few, but they didn’t really have much effect. (And no comments about my face, please!) Even people who had favorited me or exchanged letters with me didn’t seem to look at them, lol. *Update: A little while ago, my papa messaged me saying, “I’ve been looking at your private photos for a long time, and I even remember the ones you deleted.” So I guess they did have some effect after all. It’s so cute when a papa reaches out first! (Sorry for the humblebrag.) Anyway, for me, putting effort into my profile, comments, and “Nice” section had more of an impact on the number of offers than photos did! As a side note, I’ve talked about this with my papa once—or was it twice? I don’t remember—but he didn’t seem to look at many other women’s private photos. I also vaguely remember him saying that a lot of the photos looked too different from their actual faces. That said, uploading photos may have benefits for women, such as making your profile appear higher in the listings, so I think that’s a valid way to use them. (Some answers in the past Q&A mentioned that changing your comments too often or uploading too many photos can make it seem like you’re trying too hard, so you may want to find a good balance.) Hope you find a great papa and enjoy a great papa-katsu life! Just my personal experience and opinion—signing off ／(.^.)＼ ============ > To Paper Airplane I think comments and the calendar are optional. What!? Whaaat!? For someone like me who wasn’t blessed in the looks department, comments are the only way I can survive on the club site(´；ω；｀) Maybe I’m the only one, lol. I agree about the calendar, though. To the person who asked the question: It seems that there is at least a slight chance they can lead to offers, so I’ve learned that it’s probably better to post them if you want to increase your chances. That said, there are exceptions, and sometimes they won’t have any effect at all.

I generally think it’s best not to upload private photos. The reason is simple: if they’ve been edited with a beauty app, they may actually work against you. In some cases, you might receive more offers by not uploading them at all. Photos taken by the staff are generally unedited. They focus on capturing you as beautifully as possible without any editing. That’s also because men feel that edited photos aren’t helpful as a reference when they look too different from the actual person. So, I think the safest approach is: 1. Don’t upload private photos. 2. If you do, choose an unedited photo that still shows you at your best. In the case of Universe, professional photos taken with an expensive DSLR are already displayed. Rather than focusing on private photos, I think you’ll get better results by focusing on these two things: - Writing a comment on your profile - If someone adds you to their favorites, immediately sending them a message with a nice compliment, such as “You seem wonderful.”

If possible, I think it’s better to have a male acquaintance choose them for you—ideally, an older man. Women sometimes pick photos that are so unflattering you wonder, “Why on earth did she choose this one?” It’s a truly strange phenomenon. Since older men are the ones making offers, have an older man choose your photos for you.

I’m Shun Teramoto from Universe Club, CS1, and I’d be happy to answer as well. Of course, photos showing your looks and overall appearance are important, and those may already be included on your profile. You could also consider adding photos that reflect your hobbies and interests! You can upload up to 10 photos, so please feel free to add them. Please note that photos showing underwear are not allowed, so be careful about that.

I think it’s best to choose photos that haven’t been edited too much and give a sense of what you’re really like.
