I recently had my interview, passed, and was given access to the site. However, I was a little shocked to see that I looked less attractive in my profile photos than in photos taken by others, selfies, or even when I look in the mirror. (I’m not exactly gorgeous to begin with, though.)

Some people may make offers to Standard members as well. As part of my own research, I’ve asked women I met what class they thought they belonged to, and most answered Standard or Gold. Of course, I never told them their actual class. *Most of them were actually Black or Platinum.* If you’re receiving a lot of offers from Platinum or Black members, you may have a good chance of being in the Platinum class, but there’s no way to know for sure. As for your photos, if the staff felt you looked noticeably worse than other members, they would probably ask you to retake them, so I wouldn’t worry too much. My class has been hidden ever since I registered. A hidden class doesn’t necessarily mean your class is low.

I’m a Black member, but I like Type A women, so I usually browse all the way down to the Standard-class women as well. When I’m feeling especially restless, I do as Mr. Maezawa suggested and search with Gold, Platinum, Black, B1, B2, and C all checked. Today, for the first time since becoming a member, I’m having tea with my staff representative. I’m actually looking forward to it more than meeting a woman. He’s the one who introduced me to my ace, so I owe him a lot.

That sounds like a pretty good assessment, doesn’t it? You seem to have low self-esteem, but I get the feeling you’re Gold-level. There may be women in Standard who get popular and receive offers because they’re sexy or have that cute-in-an-unconventional-way charm. But maybe you’re Lucky Gold? I’m glad you received an offer.

> Compared with other photos taken by someone else, selfies, or how you look in the mirror, you may feel that you look worse in the photo. If you’re used to edited photos, it’s understandable to worry whether a picture like that is good enough. However, from a man’s perspective, edited photos can sometimes look less appealing, so an unedited photo on Universe may not look nearly as bad as you think. Also, if the photo isn’t flattering, the staff often feel the same way and may write something in the comments like, “She looks even better in person than in her photos.” So you may not need to worry too much. That said, sometimes a photo really doesn’t turn out very well. If you’ve received an offer, I think it would be a good idea to ask the man what he thought of the photo. However, rather than saying yourself that the photo is unflattering, it’s better to simply ask what he thought of it. Things will probably go more smoothly afterward that way. > Do people in the Standard class ever get favorited or receive offers from men in higher classes? If you’re asking whether it happens at all, yes, it does. However, many Black-class men don’t look at Standard-class profiles in the first place. So if you really are Standard, there’s a good chance that very few Black-class men have seen your profile. That said, many Black-class men do look as far down as Gold, so I have a feeling you might actually be Gold.

The staff don’t decide a woman’s class based on the photos they take, so I don’t think how you photograph has much to do with your class. Black and Platinum men do sometimes make offers to Standard women. I’ve made offers to Standard women many times myself. If a man’s class isn’t displayed, it simply means he has chosen to keep it private. I keep mine private too.
