I was the person who inquired yesterday about searching for female members.

I don’t think the person you’re currently seeing really cares how old you are. If they’re searching for someone 40 or older and your appearance or profile stands out, being 49 or 51 probably won’t make much difference. Marika

Thank you for your question. I’ll answer this one too. > I asked because I thought that, unlike women in their 20s, who can be searched by exact age, women are probably searched using categories like “50 and over.” The way this is phrased makes it sound like the question is: “Women in their 20s have an advantage because they can be searched by exact age, while women in their 40s are at a disadvantage because they can’t. Is that really how it works?” But then I find myself thinking: “Wait, is that really true? Wouldn’t being searchable by exact age actually reduce your chances?” For example, suppose there’s a 25-year-old woman. If a man is looking for women aged 24 or younger, she won’t appear in his search results. She might actually be more attractive than a 24-year-old woman and could even be exactly his type, but she won’t be shown simply because of that one-year difference. In that sense, not being able to search by age could actually be more advantageous for women. Of course, from the man’s perspective, that would make the site harder to use and make it more difficult to find the type of woman he wants, which is why the search function exists. It simply reflects the different circumstances of men and women. So I think the questioner’s concern is slightly off the mark, and there’s probably no need to worry about whether searches are done in one-year increments. As for: > When male members search for female members aged 50 and over, do they search using a category like “50 and over”? I don’t think you need to worry about how the search is performed. In fact, a dating club without an age-search function might be more advantageous for you. > I asked because I wondered whether women in their 40s and 50s would still be avoided, even if they had attractive looks and personalities, as well as the life experience that comes with being a working adult. This is entirely a matter of individual male preferences. In reality, I do think the offer rate for women in their 40s and 50s is lower. As I’ve mentioned before, women around 30 tend to be popular. Unlike apps and dating sites, Universe Club isn’t a place where younger is always considered better. That’s one of its distinctive features, and I think women around 30 may actually have more opportunities at Universe Club than on apps. That said, things do become more difficult for women in their 40s and beyond. If Universe eventually created something like a mature women’s club, they might be able to thrive there, but it seems difficult in the current Universe Club environment. Even so, a lower offer rate doesn’t mean there are no chances. Truly attractive women receive offers regardless of age, so I don’t think you need to worry about age alone. For example, Namie Amuro is currently 46, but I think she would still receive offers if she registered in her 50s. And I believe the same would apply to anyone with a similar appearance, even if they weren’t actually her. There really are men who know how to recognize truly attractive women.

I did a quick search through the profiles and found some people aged 50 and over who had newly registered and received five-star ratings. There aren’t many, but depending on your efforts and approach, I think you should be able to find opportunities. As mentioned earlier, the search lets you filter by age in one-year increments starting at 18, but from age 40 onward it’s simply listed as “40 and over.”

I’m almost the complete opposite of Fuu. I’ll make an offer to women in their 40s or 50s if I look at their profile and think we might be a good match. In fact, the first female member I ever made an offer to—and met for the first time—through this club was in her 40s. > She says she won’t mind even when I’m in my 50s, but when I actually reach my 50s, will she really still feel that way? It’s sad that you’re worried about something like that. If I were in your position, instead of fretting over it, I’d spend my time, money, and energy improving myself and becoming a better partner so I could continue seeing her for years to come. Even if she suddenly started making an issue of my age the moment I turned 50, I’d simply accept that she was the kind of papa (a male supporter) who judged people by their age—and move on. As Fuu says, things probably do get more difficult as you get older. But there are unconventional people like me out there. So rather than asking, “Offers decrease as you get older, right?” why not put that time and effort into making yourself even more appealing?

There’s no point in saying only nice things, so here’s the honest truth: men favor younger women because of their instinct as animals—to pass on their genes to a healthy young body. It can’t really be helped. To be honest, I offer to women in their 20s to 30s too. I filter out anyone over 40, and of course I don’t even search for women over 50. It’s like a man asking: “I’m unattractive and don’t have money, but I’m kind, considerate in bed, and never do anything my partner dislikes. So why can’t I attract anyone? Why don’t my relationships last? Can’t women understand that?” That’s basically the same thing, lol. At that age, there are probably strategies that suit your age. You may have to give up on appearing in searches, but your profile photo is what people see first, so someone might still make you an offer based on it. And if you have a high rating, you might get offers through searches based on the number of stars.

This week, I spent some time at the home of my long-term girlfriend, whom I’ve been with for several decades. She’s older than I am, but we still relaxed together in bed just as we always have. I usually spend time with women in their 20s through an escort club, so there was no real comparison in terms of appearance. But since we’ve known each other for decades, we understand each other well, and our relationship hasn’t changed. That said, because we’re around the same age, there’s no allowance involved, and our relationship has simply continued as an extension of the romantic relationship we’ve had since long ago—or perhaps out of affection. For the men currently seeing you, the relationship may not change no matter how old you get. But with new men, especially when an allowance is involved, I think things may become considerably more difficult. Still, even in the cabaret club industry, where most women are around 20, there are always clubs featuring mature women. So there’s a possibility that supply and demand will balance out, and I don’t think you need to worry too much. There aren’t many women over 30, and very few over 50. In that sense, you could actually be considered valuable, and you may be able to attract men who are looking for someone around their own age and easy to talk to.

When searching by age, the only available range is “18 to 40 and over,” so women in their 40s and 50s are grouped together. So it’s not that someone gets filtered out once she turns 50. In my case, I sometimes search for women with an F cup or larger—G and H cups are grouped together too—but I don’t search by age. If you don’t enter any criteria, women of all ages will appear. More importantly, new female registrations are limited to women up to age 45, so women aged 46 and over would need to request an exception. That said, I do occasionally see newly registered women over 46.

I imagine people don’t go out of their way to search for “50 and over,” do they? Think of it the other way around: you wouldn’t search for “annual income under 10 million yen” or “height under 160 cm,” right? Maybe it would be better to show up in searches through some other positive keywords.
