Despite having a five-star rating on Universe Club’s profile and receiving glowing comments from the staff, I hesitate to make an offer when a woman has only one star on Patro, or when her post-date feedback shows just 16% for “sent a thank-you message” or “was actively engaged in conversation.” With it being 16%, I assume there must be a reasonably large sample size behind that figure.

The system engineer explained that because the stars are calculated differently, ratings on Patro fluctuate much more dramatically, while ratings at the club tend to change more gradually. On Patro, if you happen to turn down a low-paying allowance and the papa lowers your rating, your score can drop all at once. So I think women who maintain high ratings on Patro for a long time are both lucky and really putting in the effort. I once made an offer to a woman who had five stars at the club but no rating yet on Patro, and she turned out to be amazing. There weren’t any rival papas yet either, so she got promoted to my monthly arrangement, lol. I think it’s worth understanding how the system works before making an offer. Luck plays a part, and ratings vary from person to person and depending on the timing. Right after joining, women are highly motivated, so they tend to receive good ratings. But once they start getting lots of offers, they’ll inevitably encounter papas they don’t like. If they turn them down, those papas may leave them low ratings.

Most PATOLO members are probably also connected with Universe Club, but the member demographics seem to differ between PATOLO and Universe Club. When I’ve spoken with women I met through Universe Club, I’ve heard that men who negotiate through PATOLO tend to offer a lower allowance, and that many of them already leave a bad impression during the dinner. I suspect that if you quote the allowance offered through Universe Club when negotiating on PATOLO, it may be considered too high and result in negative feedback. Also, the way ratings are calculated differs between PATOLO and Universe Club. PATOLO uses an average rating, so if your very first review is the lowest possible rating, you immediately drop to one star. Universe Club uses a points-based system, adding and deducting points, so even the lowest rating doesn’t immediately bring you down to one star.

I think it’s best to be cautious. I’m not saying this specifically about Patro or Universe Club—I just don’t think other people’s feedback is necessarily reliable. Even if someone has only a few stars, you may still build a good relationship if you’re compatible. Conversely, being with a woman who has a high rating doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have an arrangement you find satisfying.

I think you should just make an offer without worrying about all those little details. Women can change depending on the man, after all… As long as he’s even somewhat decent, I think things will work out with a woman he likes. Women aren’t as picky as men, since their main goal is the allowance.
