It’s been almost a year since I joined, so it’s time to renew. I’m currently a Platinum member, but I’m considering upgrading to Black.

As a Platinum member, you can consult the club staff, but if you just vaguely ask, “What kind of woman is she?” the staff probably won’t be able to tell you much beyond what’s in her profile and perhaps a few comments from the interview—unless they were the ones who interviewed her. If you’re fine with a woman who could be found anywhere, wouldn’t you make offers to women who don’t seem to be getting any offers, one after another? They’d probably be thrilled and treat you like an ideal supporter. Personally, I make offers to women I’m attracted to. I’m not going to spend money on someone who could be found anywhere.

Detailed feedback??? I feel like the feedback was usually pretty general. That said, if you ask, “I’m thinking about making an offer to this woman. What is she like?” they’ll give you more details. But I don’t think it’s very useful to ask about someone else’s—the staff member’s—impression. If there are certain types of women you don’t like, I think it’s better to ask things like: “Does this woman have any of those qualities I dislike?” Or, if there are qualities you do like: “Is this woman ○○?” That kind of question seems more useful information-wise. In the end, though, more than 90% of the information is already in the profile, so you ultimately have to make your own judgment. More importantly, I think the interesting—and difficult—part of meeting someone is that there are things you simply can’t know until you meet in person.

I believe Platinum members could also ask for details about the women. If you’re currently a Platinum member, it may be best to call the staff, as they should be able to give you a more specific explanation. Personally, I don’t pay much attention to feedback from other men, since it seems likely to be biased. For example, I once heard that a woman wasn’t recommended because she had received a lot of feedback at another dating club saying she was very demanding. But after making her an offer and meeting her, I wasn’t asked for anything at all.
