I’ve learned a lot from everyone here, so I’d like to hear your opinions on something.

I use Patro quite often too. You can ask the staff about women on Patro as well. In the end, you’ll get a reply from the representative at the branch, so there’s really no difference either way, lol. From Universe Club’s perspective, I’m sure they’d prefer to see the number of offers increase regardless of where they come from. So, to answer your question: since it’s within the rules, I don’t think you need to worry about it too much. Hope this helps.

Oh, are you the “30s Papa” series poster? Welcome back. Since you’re Platinum or above at the club, you’re only asking about the additional services included in the annual membership fee. Even if you ask, though, I don’t think you’ll get that much useful information. Eventually, you’ll probably make an offer through Patro, and the club will still receive the offer fee through the same company. Setting up dates takes the most time and effort, so I think running the club must be pretty demanding. Labor costs are the biggest expense in any business, after all. So why not? If it wasn’t allowed, they’d probably create rules preventing it.

Of course, one reason to use PATOLO is to keep the setting fee down. I feel the same way, although I do feel a little bad toward the club. But more than that, what makes PATOLO convenient is being able to communicate directly with the women. In my case, I usually go on dates that involve traveling some distance, so it’s convenient to be able to explain my thoughts on the allowance for an adult relationship (intimate). Lately, though, I feel like the offer fees have started fluctuating a lot more—maybe because of dynamic pricing. By the way, if you’re a club Platinum member, I think you should simply use the benefits that come with Platinum membership. If the staff think, “He wants to make an offer at the cheaper rate anyway,” then they can just change the system.

It’s a give-and-take. I’m very grateful for the tremendous support I’ve received from Universe Club, but I also take pride in the fact that I contribute a great deal to Universe Club myself. Of course, I receive a lot of offers, but I also make sure to tip the coordinator whenever I’m sent detailed feedback on a woman, allowance information, or blurred photos of women. And if my assigned staff member asks me to meet a particular woman, I’ll make an offer and pay the setup fee even if she isn’t my type. I suggest starting by giving back to Universe Club in whatever ways you can. If you do that, then even if you make convenient use of Universe Club and PATOLO, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as you stay within the rules.

> “I’m more comfortable contacting people directly myself.” I hear that a lot from PATOLO users. But sometimes I wonder if what they really mean is that they simply want to keep the setting fee down. The reason is that some men chat with a woman over and over, then complain as soon as her setting fee goes up, saying things like, “I was just about to make an offer, so why did you raise the fee?” Even if the setting fee has increased, I can’t help thinking it’s still cheaper than at Universe. Seeing things like that makes me wonder whether they really are more comfortable contacting people directly themselves. With that in mind, I think the first step should be to make the setting fees the same. That would make it clearer whether they truly prefer contacting people directly. Of course, I understand that preference for people who are used to apps and the like. > I wonder if some people think, “If you heard about her through the club, then have the club arrange it.” These days, most PATOLO members are probably also Universe members. Since they can contact Universe with their questions, I assume they are Universe members as well. And as members, they already pay an annual membership fee, so I don’t think they see it that way. There is also the question of what would happen if PATOLO began charging an annual membership fee in the future, and some people decided to leave Universe and use only PATOLO. But it’s impossible to say until that actually happens. New rules might be created at that point. If so, perhaps it would be when more men started saying things like, “I pay membership fees, so obviously you should answer when I ask. Tell me more.” The fact that verbally abusing staff is grounds for forced withdrawal under Universe’s current rules is also because there were men like that...
