I’m a 19-year-old woman considering registering with Universe.

Thank you for your question! I think the clue may be in asking yourself: “What would you think of the man described below?” I’m a 39-year-old man considering registering with Universe. I think I’m reasonably attractive, but my income is probably about average for my age. That said, I feel my personality is rather rough around the edges. I don’t really come across like someone who lives alone—I have a strong eldest-son vibe, and I can be quite particular. Lately, I’ve been interested in Clint Eastwood movies. Would women not be interested in a papa (a male supporter) like me? Wouldn’t you just think, “How should I know?” It’s like seeing a boxer fidgeting nervously without ever stepping into the ring.

Vivienne Westwood—so you’re into punk fashion. At 19, regardless of your personality, you’ll get the most offers if you look like someone from Nogizaka46. The 23-year-old I’ve been seeing for four years, who may be about to marry a high-status man, also has that Nogizaka-style look. Being open and easygoing, with an interesting conversational style, is great—but people who are late or careless about replying to messages regarding plans quickly lose out to the competition.

In terms of age, they’re in the highest-demand bracket. However, it could also be said that this age group has the lowest likelihood of being a satisfying match. That’s why some men avoid making offers, while others are wary and approach them cautiously. I’m looking for relationships that could last 10 or 20 years, so I generally only make offers to women aged 22 or 23 and under. Even then, I hesitate when they’re teenagers, because I can’t really imagine it turning into a long-term relationship. Honestly, you can’t tell just by reading a profile, so it’s even harder to know from the question alone. You won’t know until you register.

If you have an E-cup or larger bust, you’ll almost certainly get offers. Even if you don’t, you should be fine as long as you’re reasonably attractive. Once you’re above a certain level looks-wise, I think it mostly comes down to personal preference, so offers will probably come in. Men all have different preferences when it comes to age, so that isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker either. I’ve met a 19-year-old woman who was fairly average-looking—some people liked her appearance and others didn’t—but she still received multiple offers. Since the main purpose is usually intimacy, I think your chances drop considerably if you choose Dating Type A. Tattoos, large scars, or a history of self-harm can also make things somewhat more difficult. I once met a woman who was attractive enough to make the customers next to us at an izakaya stare, yet she received no offers at all. She had tattoos. I also heard from staff that Black women tend to receive fewer offers. I asked one of the women who had actually registered, and she said it had been a complete bust. Honestly, you can’t really know someone’s personality until you meet them, so I think it has less impact on offers than appearance does. In fact, the staff’s impression during the interview probably matters more. Your impression during the video shoot is also fairly important. If you come across as someone who might not be a good personality match, it usually won’t lead to an offer. On the other hand, I tend to avoid people who seem nice at first but feel like they’re putting on an act. In my experience, once you meet them, they often turn out to have a different side and things don’t go well. Anyway, rather than overthinking it, you’ll find out faster if you just register. Taro

Everyone has different preferences, so I’m sure some people do like it. Personally, though, I’m not interested in anyone who’s 19.
