Are letter dates also subject to reviews?

This content is machine-translated.
Sorry for the ignorant question—I don’t really understand how the system works. I had arranged a date to meet through a letter date, but his messages were getting ridiculously long. When I asked about the allowance, he said he’d lost interest, got angry, and canceled our plans. (I didn’t mention any specific amount at all—I only asked what kind of allowance arrangements he’d had before.) I thought one of the benefits of letter dates was being able to discuss and align on various things before meeting, but I guess bringing it up was a mistake… Afterward, I read through a bunch of posts in the Q&A box and realized that many people use letter dates mainly to enjoy the conversation.

With letter dates, women don’t receive anything unless they actually meet, while men pay Universe a setup fee just to exchange messages. So some men may simply see it as a way to enjoy chatting with women using that fee. That’s why I think the best way to turn down a letter date, which offers women little benefit, is to say something like: “I’d be happy to accept if we’re meeting in person. Could you ask him whether he’d be willing to make a direct offer? I’d really like to meet him.” If he still doesn’t make an offer, then he wasn’t much of a man to begin with. In that sense, it’s actually a good thing that no offer came—it filters them out perfectly. If you just want to exchange messages, you might as well join a pen-pal club.

I agree with Seattle-san—I think it’s mainly for deciding on a date after exchanging messages two or three times. That’s how I use it, and there haven’t been any women I’ve failed to meet. When you try to explain your thoughts through messages or over the phone, your true intentions often don’t come across and can lead to misunderstandings. That’s why I think topics that require more careful discussion, such as the allowance, should be discussed in person. Rather than working out the terms of the arrangement, I find messaging more useful for coordinating schedules and asking about food preferences. I’ve also had someone suggest rescheduling after we’d already set a date, and we arranged another day. In any case, you gradually learn more about the other person as you communicate. With someone like the person in this case, even if you had met, I don’t think he would have been a good match. If you look at it as avoiding a date with a strange man, then letter dating did have its benefits, didn’t it?

It’s supposed to be used to arrange a date after just two or three exchanges. The person asking the question is in the right. You were right to cut off that idiot who kept sending endless updates about himself. Since messages also affect your rating, you can avoid being penalized by giving feedback explaining why you’re ending things if the long messages from him just keep going.
