I’m a 71-year-old male member. I made offers to two female members (Black, both in their 20s, B2), but I still haven’t received a reply after two days. I also contacted UC to check.

My favorite papa is in his 70s, and I’ve also gone on dates with several other men in their 70s besides him. However, even with an allowance involved, it’s rare to meet someone I genuinely want to have an ongoing relationship with. In the end, relationships are between people, so there are many factors besides age that determine whether you can build a connection. You naturally have your own preferences, but perhaps you should try different approaches and analyze what’s preventing things from developing: whether offering a higher allowance would make someone more willing to see you, whether to look for someone older, or whether to choose someone in the Gold or Standard class who receives fewer offers rather than someone in the Black class. I’m in my late 40s—not in the Black class and not in my 20s—but I’ve been seeing my beloved papa, who’s in his 70s, every week for nearly three years. We both feel that the sex we share is the best we’ve ever had in our lives. Good luck. Marika

I can’t help but feel there may be factors besides age at play. Maybe your allowance isn’t particularly generous, you lack a sense of cleanliness, you’re self-centered and unable to put yourself in the other person’s shoes, or you don’t show much consideration. These are just guesses, of course. This isn’t a brothel, so for a woman to say yes, you need to meet the basic conditions that would make her feel comfortable being intimate with you. The quickest solution is to increase the allowance, but other options include: - Improving your grooming and sense of cleanliness - Trying to approach women in a higher age range - Changing your dating type to C or D - Offering upscale dates or luxury hotels—experiences she couldn’t otherwise have Take a fresh look at the issues, analyze yourself, and make improvements. If you do, I’m sure your chances will eventually come...

Ahaha (lol) Mr. Maezawa, that’s quite an interesting set of materials (lol). I’ll take a closer look myself sometime. Although I’ve never really studied it too seriously—being told it’s embarrassing when I stare at it too intently (lol). As for my answer, I suppose you really can’t fight age. Compared with someone in their 50s who looks exceptionally youthful, the difference is obvious. But that’s the only factor I’m considering. I don’t think it has anything to do with their class, dating type, or anything like that. I’m approaching my 70s myself, but once a relationship begins, you grow older together, so it’s not a problem at all (lol). Compared with when we first met, the relationship becomes more stable, and when they ask about work-related matters and I answer them, they often say, “I feel so much better now!” and thank me. I’m probably getting carried away and sinking even deeper into it (lol). You can understand it if you put yourself in the woman’s shoes. It makes sense that older men receive more offers per year than men in other age groups.

Thank you for your question. I’ll answer as Maezawa as well. > I also contacted UC to confirm. If that’s the case, the staff should be able to check with the woman why she hasn’t replied, so at the very least, you should be able to find out what’s causing the lack of response. I think it’s best to wait for the staff to get back to you. By the way, are you referring to Universe Club? If you mean PATOLO, rather than waiting for a reply, I think it would be better to apply through an order date. Otherwise, it basically works like a matching app, so the response rate can be affected by various factors, such as how well-written your message is, the content of your profile, and your age. > When a female member writes “up to age 70,” does that mean she won’t accept anyone who is 70? If it says “up to age 70,” she probably means that men around 70 would generally be acceptable. I don’t think it necessarily means that she refuses men who are exactly 70. > Should I not worry about age or type? Age and type are separate issues. Regarding age, many women feel that men older than their own parents would be difficult, and I get the impression that this tendency is particularly strong among women in their teens and twenties. In that case, they may be fine with men up to their forties but hesitant about men in their fifties or older. That said, this is often simply because they haven’t met the person yet. There are men in their fifties or sixties who look like they’re in their forties, and if they meet and have a good time, the age barrier can disappear. There are also women who don’t care about age, so I think it depends on each woman’s preferences. Still, some women may feel that someone in his seventies would be difficult. You could consult the staff by asking something like, “Do you think this woman might be okay with me?” As you make offers with their guidance, the staff can also confirm things with the woman, so you won’t need to worry as much about not receiving a reply. Even if you find out that a particular woman doesn’t want to meet men in their seventies, that’s simply a matter of her personal preference, so I don’t think you should take it personally. Even if you were told that offers to women older than you were free, you might still feel that a woman over 100 would be a bit much. On the other hand, there may be men who have no problem with women over 100. Type is a separate matter from whether she replies. It concerns what happens after you meet—for example, whether you’ll part ways after dinner only on the first meeting. In that respect, the key question seems to be whether you’re comfortable with dinner only on the first meeting. I think you can assume that age isn’t necessarily a deciding factor.

To a 19- or 20-year-old woman, there probably isn’t much difference between a 40-year-old and a 70-year-old. Some may even feel that a man in his 30s doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is creepier. The key point isn’t the age—it’s the overall treatment, including the allowance. For women with a strong need for validation, the other person’s appearance and age may not matter at all. What matters is whether he becomes completely invested in her. Of course, none of that matters if you can’t meet anyone in the first place, but wasn’t this just a fluke? In short, it depends on the woman, so you probably need to meet more people. P.S. > Regarding age, many women apparently find men older than their own fathers difficult to accept. This tendency seems especially strong among women in their teens and twenties. Is that really true? Couldn’t that simply be Mr. Maezawa’s assumption? At least, I’ve never heard women in their teens or twenties say that was one of their criteria... P.S. 2 Sorry, but to clarify, I’m wondering whether young women actually use “their father’s age” as a benchmark. For example, if I were young and wanted to try mama-katsu, I don’t think I’d use “my mother’s age” as a 기준. I’d simply remove my mother from consideration altogether. That’s the part I’m questioning. I’m not talking about a specific age number. “His father’s age” is probably a phrase that feels much creepier to women than men realize. So regardless of Mr. Maezawa, shouldn’t staff at dating clubs avoid using that phrase altogether? What do you think?

With all due respect, I think more women start to care about age once a man is over 70. Black-tier women actually tend to receive fewer offers. However, I suspect that they receive more offers from high-quality men as a result. Since you’re a Black-tier member, I assume you have a staff member assigned to you. I recommend speaking directly with your staff member and asking them to suggest women who aren’t particularly concerned about age. If you’re able to offer a more generous allowance because of your age, it might be worth approaching women who are looking for a higher allowance.
