I’m a male member. I have a question about the post-date survey.

I’m Saito, a column writer ♪ I try to keep my reports as objective as possible—for example, by noting exactly what was said. I make a conscious effort not to let my emotions take over when I write. There’s nothing particularly rewarding about it, but I think it’s a good way to help the club provide better arrangements overall.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. > 1. Do you fill out the post-date survey? If so, what kind of things do you write? I always fill it out. Based on the basic information in the profile and the photos, I write about my impressions after meeting her in person. For example, whether she seemed younger than in her photos, whether I found her cute, whether she photographed well, whether she was bigger than expected, and how the conversation went—including the possibility of seeing each other again. > 2. After filling out the post-date survey, did the club ever respond or offer you any other benefits? I’m not entirely sure, but when I said, “I’d like to become an answerer for the anonymous Q&A box,” they kindly explained how to apply. Other than that, nothing in particular.

Maezawa from the Business Planning Office here as well. > 1. Do you prefer women to answer the post-date questionnaire honestly? For example, mentioning things like, “She had this side to her that wasn’t shown in her profile.” Yes, definitely. When women write in detail, I find myself thinking things like, “I really got a good sense of what she’s like,” or, “I didn’t quite pick up on that,” and I’m glad it turned into a good connection. > 2. Can a man’s evaluation go down based on what’s written in the post-date questionnaire? Looking at past answers, I got the impression that a man’s evaluation might drop if he reveals something a woman had told him to keep secret. Men don’t receive star ratings like women do, so there’s no rating to lower. That said, we keep track of feedback from women. If we receive comments such as, “He forced himself on me,” or, “He took the condom off partway through,” we may warn women by saying, “This is the kind of man he is, so please think carefully about whether you want to accept his offer.” Naturally, we also discuss these matters among the staff, saying things like, “Be careful with this man—he’s dangerous. If we receive the same kind of feedback again, he’ll be banned.”

I’m male member BB7. > 1. Do you fill out the post-date survey? If so, what kind of things do you write? I fill it out after most dates. In my case, I write quite a bit, including details about the date, the woman’s overall vibe, and my own impressions. > 2. After you submit the post-date survey, have you ever received a response from the club or experienced any other benefits? The club’s branch office usually replies—especially the regional branches. The Tokyo office may be busy, so whether they respond seems to depend on the content. I’m not sure whether you’d call it a benefit, but there was one woman I gave extremely negative feedback about. A staff member checked with her as well, added a comment to her profile, and lowered her star rating. On the other hand, I’ve also submitted positive feedback that resulted in a woman’s rating going up. On a first date, you may be caught up in the excitement, and your emotions are often still running high right afterward. So I sometimes think it may be better to wait a few days before submitting the survey—or to wait until after the second or third date, when you can assess the other person more calmly.
