I understand that when someone re-registers, it’s noted on their profile. Is taking a leave of absence also mentioned on the profile or in the staff comments?

As far as I know, you can’t suspend your membership for very long, and it probably won’t be listed. If you stop looking for someone over an extended period, you’ll need to withdraw once. To resume afterward, you’ll have to register again. Re-registration is listed on your profile. Personally, I don’t have a bad impression of women who re-register. Like Yokudō-san, I think the ratio is about half and half between women who have had new photos taken and those who haven’t. Women who haven’t updated their photos for a long time seem to be there without any particular purpose, which doesn’t leave me with a very good impression.

Seeing “resuming activities” makes me feel grateful that they’ve come back to Universe. I’d say it’s probably about half and half when it comes to having new photos taken. That said, I feel that people who post their latest photos come across as more sincere and motivated to be active.

I’ve never seen a person’s history of taking a break listed. However, when they come back, it says “re-registered,” and they’re displayed near the top just like newly registered women, so you can tell they’ve returned from a break. Even if someone has taken a break, it’s hard to infer anything specific from it. All it tells you is that there was a period when she didn’t want offers from new men. Perhaps the nicest explanation would be: “I found a good male member, so I wasn’t accepting new offers.” Some take breaks because their income has increased, because they’ve been through something difficult, while studying abroad, or because they were receiving too many offers and asked to be put on hold or hidden from search. There are all kinds of reasons. Personally, I don’t have any fixed “impression” of someone just because she took a break. That said, the original registration date remains visible, so sometimes I do wonder how many years she’s been doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).

Fuu taking a break and getting new photos both leave a good impression. Actually, they make an even better impression. If her profile after returning from a break says: “I re-registered after ending things with the papa I had been seeing regularly,” then people who know about papa-katsu can see that she had a regular papa who understood the arrangement. If her club rating is also high, it feels reassuring and makes you want to send her an offer. There was a former Minato-ku girl in her late twenties who had a great face and figure, as well as generous (well-paying) papas. She kept her generous papas while putting her profile back up, received tons of offers, and then chose and “shortlisted” her regular papas from among them—lol. Once she reached her target number, she would take a break—lol. When her stock of pay-per-meeting and regular papas ran out, she would put her profile back up again, get flooded with offers, shortlist them, and take another break. She repeated that cycle. Apparently, it was an efficient way to minimize the risk of being identified, maintain regular relationships only with good pay-per-meeting papas she was comfortable with, and stay financially and mentally stable thanks to her generous papas. (She’s a regular office worker in her everyday life.) It seems Fuu was also shortlisted as a good pay-per-meeting papa, despite competition being about five times higher. I was one of the finalists—humble brag, lol. She seems like a woman who’s found the perfect model for succeeding at papa-katsu. I remember her showing me photos from her annual summer vacations abroad with her generous papa—ultra-luxurious trips to Europe, Dubai, and places like that. As for getting new photos, make sure they’re no worse than your previous ones. Don’t just choose what you personally like—prepare carefully so they appeal to papas in that age group. Diet, quit drinking, think about your hairstyle, clothes, and poses, and only then go for the shoot. Getting new photos and re-registering are chances to move up in the profile rankings and receive offers from good papas. Prepare well and go for it! lol

I prefer women to keep their photos up to date, as more than six months can be enough time for changes—especially in their figure. If it’s been about a year since registration and she hasn’t had new photos taken, I usually refrain from making an offer. If a woman has been on hiatus, I’ll contact the club if I’m interested. Some women take a break after meeting one good person and return several years later. The older the registration date, the fewer offers she tends to receive, so I’ve also made offers thinking it might be lucky because there would be less competition.
