Is it okay to exchange messages on Patro and then make an offer through Universe Club?

That’s fine. On PATOLO, you can go ahead and arrange the date, time, and place for your meeting. However, you shouldn’t actually meet in person afterward without making an offer. Regarding your question, there’s no problem with contacting someone on PATOLO first and then sending them an offer through the club. In fact, some people find it easier to meet after getting a feel for each other beforehand. In that case, it’s probably best to ask them, “The club will be sending you an offer—is that okay?” The main difference is the tip. On PATOLO, the woman can specify the amount of the tip, but when it’s treated as “transportation expenses” for a club offer, you’re dependent on the man’s discretion. So it would be better to prepare transportation expenses equal to the tip.

I actually tried that approach last time. I believe making plans to meet or exchanging contact information using only PATOLO messages was against the rules, but after a few back-and-forth messages to confirm her motivation—or rather, to make sure we were on the same page—and everything seemed fine, I sent her a club offer. In my case, I feel more comfortable with the usual offers where the staff act as intermediaries, so I plan to continue making offers through the club for the time being. When I made the club offer, I also added a note for the staff saying that I had confirmed her motivation through PATOLO.

Setting aside how women might feel about it, I think it’s fine since it isn’t prohibited by the rules.
