I have a question about offers after having new photos taken.
This content is machine-translated.
I received offers from four people after signing up. I know I probably shouldn’t have, but the people I met told me that the club had given me a five-star recommendation. I’m still seeing all of the people who made offers.
I had new photos taken in July, but I haven’t received a single offer since then. I’d heard that new members and people who had just had new photos taken appear higher in the listings and tend to receive the most offers, so I’m a little confused.
The things I’m wondering about are:
1. “Availability: Work from 8:00 p.m.” was recently added to my days-off section. I mean that I can meet after 8:00 p.m. on days when I have work, but could this be interpreted as me working after 8:00 p.m. in nightlife?
2. Is it possible that the staff member who handled my new photos lowered my recommendation rating?
3. For my first profile photo, they used a zoomed-out side profile rather than a close-up of my face. Could this kind of change have affected things?
Sorry for the long post, and I apologize if I’m completely off base.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

① If all it says is “Available on days off; after 8:00 p.m. on workdays,” I can see how someone might misunderstand it. Generally, people write it like this:
【Schedule】Days off: according to the calendar; Weekdays: from xx:xx; Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays: xx:xx–xx:xx
So a man who has looked at how other people write theirs probably wouldn’t misunderstand it.
That said, it is definitely worded strangely.
Putting the wording aside, it’s difficult to make an offer when you’re only available after 8:00 p.m. on workdays. If you could also meet from 7:00 p.m. when you have some flexibility—for example, in case work finishes on time and depending on travel time—it would probably be easier for people to make offers if you wrote “from 7:00 p.m.”
② I’m not sure what you mean by “recommendation rating,” but if the reshoot was done by a different staff member, they may add comments such as, “She didn’t put her shoes together.”
If you didn’t do anything wrong, though, I don’t think anything like that would happen.
③ Your photos can affect whether you receive offers.
Sometimes the photos from a reshoot are not as good as those from the initial photo shoot, so I can understand why you’d be concerned.
If I knew who you were, I could tell whether the photos were the reason. If you contact me, I may be able to give you an idea of what’s going on.
You can contact Maezawa through the “Anonymous Question Box Contact Form” under the question box. It won’t come directly to me, but there’s a possibility that a staff member who sees the inquiry will contact me.

> After registering, I received offers from four people. I know I’m not really supposed to ask, but the people I met told me their club recommendation rating was five stars.
I would think you need to receive good feedback from at least several people you’ve gone on dates with to get five stars. Can it really happen with just two or three people?
As for the days and times when someone is available to meet, it’s true that some profiles are occasionally worded in a confusing way. Also, it’s fairly common for a woman’s availability not to be updated when she was still a student when her profile was created but is expected to have started working by the time she considers an offer. In those cases, I ask the staff to confirm it, but it’s somewhat inconvenient, so I’d appreciate it if women could include their available days and time slots in the parts of their profiles they can edit themselves. I find that more appealing than profiles that simply say, “I love going out for meals!”
I’ve heard from the staff that some women do receive more offers after a reshoot, but I think it still depends on how the photos are taken and the judgment used in selecting them. There have been a few women I was interested in before whose updated photos after a reshoot made me think I might be better off not making an offer. On the other hand, there are also women who look noticeably more polished after their reshoot.

I don’t think getting new photos taken will suddenly lead to a flood of offers.
If the club upgrades her after the new photos, saying she looks more beautiful, I feel like it would be a shame somehow, so I wouldn’t make an offer. If they downgrade her because she appears to have aged, I’d be even less likely to offer.
In my case, I don’t remember ever seeing a profile marked “new photos” and deciding I wanted to make an offer. There are also constantly new women registering, so I prioritize looking at them. For women I instinctively felt I probably wouldn’t make an offer to when I first saw them, my first impression doesn’t change just because they get new photos.
I also narrow my terms down quite a bit, including where they live. I only add two or three women to my favorites—those I genuinely want to make an offer to.
I feel incredibly lucky to still be seeing the four women who accepted my offers, since that’s something I couldn’t expect from just anyone else. Maybe because it’s become normal for me, I’m now looking for new offers.
That said, even in business, it’s far easier to deal with existing customers than to develop new ones. With a new offer, there’s always the risk of it coming from a strange man, affecting your mental health, or passing on some unpleasant illness. Existing customers certainly have drawbacks, such as having a low budget, but at least the risks are predictable, which makes things easier.
Maybe not getting any offers is actually a good thing.
There are plenty of people and events in life that we truly would have been better off never encountering. Some people spend their whole lives regretting things, thinking, “If only I had stopped at that traffic light,” or “If only I had made a different choice back then, none of this would have happened.”

① Holidays: I wouldn’t immediately assume that “work until 8:00 p.m.” means you work in the nightlife industry, but it may be a little unclear.
Looking at other women’s profiles, many seem to simply list their days off according to the calendar.
In other words, I think it would be more natural to specify which days your days off are, or whether they vary.
Then you could write something like, “I’d like to meet after work from 8:00 p.m., or from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. on my days off.” That would make your intentions easier to understand.
② This depends on the staff member, but the recommendation level should only be taken as a reference. I don’t think having a low rating alone would result in zero offers.
③ As for profile photos, almost everyone uses a full-body shot that shows their overall appearance.
Men usually decide whether to favorite someone based on their first impression of her looks, so I think a profile photo showing only your side view could work against you.
Whether you receive more offers after retaking your photos depends on whether any new men take notice of you.
It may also help to check whether the number of men who favorited you increased before and after the new photos were taken.
Either way, it’s unlikely that offers will suddenly start flooding in, so make sure to value the men you’re currently seeing.

I’m in favor of reshooting profile photos.
I feel that women who don’t agree to a reshoot either have a good relationship with their current papa (male supporter) or are simply staying with the club out of habit, so they aren’t very proactive about new offers.
If anything in your profile is incorrect or doesn’t feel right to you, it would be better to ask the club to revise it.
P.S.
Ratings are shown with stars, and they’re determined based on publicly available criteria and feedback from men.
The “recommended based on impression” rating is something the staff member adds to the profile based on their own judgment.
They’re two different things—are you perhaps confusing them?

There are probably quite a few men who, like me, see asking for another photo shoot as being overly eager.
Four supporters are enough, so focus on how you can maintain those relationships.

Offers come in thick and fast on the first day—or for the first few days—after a new registration, but they steadily decline after that.
In your case, it sounds like you didn’t receive many offers to begin with, so I’d expect the chances of getting offers after a reshoot to be about the same. It’s probably best to think of it as a lucky break if one comes along…
From a man’s perspective, it’s enough to limit offers to women who registered within the past three days, so getting an offer from someone other than a first-time user is not easy.
It would probably be wise to continue and deepen your relationship with the men you’re currently seeing.
I don’t think a good papa (male supporter) has much reason to make an offer to a woman who has simply had her photos retaken.

Possibly, the five-star rating may not be telling the whole truth.
You may get a lot of offers at first, but fewer after your profile photos are reshot. It’s like how a new AV performer’s debut video sells the best—the fresh appeal, haha.
Unless something really serious happens, club staff generally won’t write anything negative. The club makes money from introductions, so the more offers you receive, the better for them.
Maybe the new photos just weren’t as good, or they didn’t appeal to papas as much. The previous ones may have suited you better.
P.S. Personally, rather than just having your photos reshot, I think it might leave a better impression to temporarily suspend your membership, then re-register and have new photos taken.
You could tell the club to add something like:
“I’m re-registering because I recently ended a regular arrangement with someone I had been seeing.”
It gives the impression that you were in an arrangement before and that it continued for a while, which can make people feel reassured. Saying that you parted ways and then rejoined could work well.

Here’s my answer:
① I think it should be fine to say that you’re available after 8 p.m. on workdays.
② If you’ve received a series of negative reviews, they might write something like “not recommended” in the comments when your photos are retaken. That said, it depends on the staff.
③ It’s hard to say, since sometimes the photos taken previously gave a better impression than the retaken ones.
Compared with simply renewing your profile without retaking your photos, getting new photos taken may increase your chances of receiving offers. However, your chances will still be lower than when you first register.
Since I don’t know the details of your profile, there could be another reason as well.
