Regarding the photos on women’s profiles at Universe, the staff’s photography skills—such as the angles and positioning—are so good that after making an offer and meeting them in person, I often feel that they look cuter or more beautiful in their photos.

[I've never made an offer to a Black-listed woman, so I can't say.]
How do you feel when you meet a woman in person for the first time after making an offer?
Once you’ve met, I think personality and compatibility are what matter most.
Then again, if it’s simply taken for granted that profile photos make people look better, I suppose that’s the end of the discussion.

I see. Everyone perceives things differently, so it’s hard to say, but personally, since club photos are unedited and not professionally taken, I often find the woman herself prettier or cuter than she looks in the pictures.
Videos show her moving and give me a better sense of who she is, so I consider them an important reference when deciding whether to make an offer. More than the content itself, I look at her appearance, voice, way of speaking, waistline, and so on.
On the other hand, if a woman doesn’t have a video, I can’t check those things, so I may hold off on making an offer.

After all, photos are just still images, so when we meet in person, I sometimes think, “They look a little different from their pictures.”
But you can still get a sense of their overall vibe, and it’s not like the misleading photo edits you hear about in the adult entertainment or AV industries, where someone looks like a completely different person.
Also, I pay more attention to how they speak in videos than to their photos.
When we meet and talk, I often find that they have a similar vibe to what I saw in the video.

As Maezawa-san said, Universe’s photos are apparently unedited.
With other clubs, it’s reportedly not just a matter of looking cuter in the photos—the women can look like completely different people.
I think the only thing you can do is bring out her cute expressions when she’s with you.

Universe prohibits photo retouching, so if you can bring out the same expression as in the photo and don’t miss that fleeting angle, you can see the woman exactly as she appears in her pictures.
That’s the advantage of unedited photos: no matter how skilled the photographer is, you can see that exact moment in person.
That said, some staff have recently been adjusting photos with software to make the skin look more translucent or something similar. Whenever we find that happening, we tell them to stop.
Still, things like that become obvious as soon as you watch a video, so I feel it may be best to prioritize videos.

You can reduce the chances of being disappointed by looking at videos and private photos to get a sense of her everyday expressions and the way she talks. It’s rare for someone to look completely different from their photos or videos.
These days, people often mention whether there’s any difference between their actual appearance and how they look in photos, so you can use that as a guide too.
If you want to meet someone you’re genuinely compatible with, it’s difficult unless you improve your judgment when choosing whom to approach in the first place.
At the same time, it’s important for the man making the offer to help bring out her natural, happy expressions, smiles, and conversation so she can relax and open up. Being able to quickly put her at ease and draw out her charm is also key.
Before feeling dissatisfied with the other person, it’s far more important to show them your own appeal first. They may feel even more disappointed or unfulfilled than you do.
