To the 41-year-old woman who says she hasn’t received any offers: I’m around the same age, so I really related to what you wrote and couldn’t help posting! I’m just a regular member, and I’m sorry this turned into an answer rather than a question. I hope you’ll forgive me. (It’s also fine if this isn’t published.)

I don’t know what your goal is, but does it really have to be achieved through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)? Does it absolutely have to be through Universe? I know it’s a little odd to say this in Universe’s Q&A section. Besides Universe, I was also registered with a dating club that focuses on mature women, and I received many more offers there. I’ve also been to a hostess café, and some men even told me they wanted to have me all to themselves (though I turned them down). I also have a friend around my age who works part-time at a snack bar. At dating clubs, men have to pay a substantial upfront fee before meeting anyone, so they can’t exactly send offers casually. And because mature women are listed alongside younger women, the comparison is inevitably unfavorable to them. A club with a large membership isn’t necessarily one where you’ll receive lots of offers—in fact, the larger the club, the more likely you are to get lost in the crowd. There’s no rule against registering with multiple places, so why not consider various options, such as a dating club specializing in mature women, a mature hostess club, a pub, a snack bar, or even a mature-women’s health service!? Try to find the place where you can shine the most, and wait patiently without expecting too much from Universe. How does that sound?
