I’ve heard that the Black Course also has women who are kept secret. Are there any criteria for making someone a secret member? And roughly how many are there at the moment?

Kida here, answering your question. Criteria for keeping someone secret: - The woman requests that her photos not be posted on the members-only site. - She has a certain level of looks or status. - By “a certain level,” I mean Platinum or above. - If she isn’t listed on the members-only site, she has to be recommended to men entirely manually, so it isn’t worth the effort if she’s just average. Secret female members: - 60 in Tokyo, 120 nationwide Incidentally, here are some typical characteristics of women introduced as secret members: - Women who can’t be listed because of their status are indeed often beautiful, but they may also be very proud. When that’s the case, even the staff aren’t especially motivated to introduce them. - When a woman chooses to remain secret simply because she’s afraid of being recognized, there are cases where she’s incredibly beautiful yet has no prior introduction history through a dating club and isn’t jaded at all. I think women like that are highly recommended. In yakiniku terms, they’re an ultra-rare cut.
