There are quite a few typos and missing characters in the staff-written text on women’s profile pages. For some reason, it sometimes makes me view the woman herself about 5% less favorably. A common example is “I want to start my own business someday” being written with the wrong kanji, changing the meaning to “I want to establish a company.” I feel this could be reduced if someone at the office proofread the text, even if only briefly. Sorry if this is none of my business.

I’m Saito♪, a male member and columnist. You appear to be a male member. I’ve also thought, “Yeah, I do make typos and miss things,” when it comes to proofreading my own writing. At my own company, I’m strict with my subordinates, yet when it comes to Universe, I’ve been rather careless myself. So your comment has given me something to reflect on. Even when I notice a mistake later, I sometimes think, “Well, people can still read it, so it’s fine.” That’s the kind of person I am, but I’ll try to be a little more careful from now on. As for the impression of women, I think everyone sees things differently. But if you can rate her 5% higher after actually meeting her, let’s just accept that as part of the deal. If you rate her 5% lower after meeting her, though, you’ll be thinking, “Give me back the offer fee! She was totally different!” Haha. Men—including me—are creatures who always make a huge fuss. So perhaps, intimidated by men like me, the staff member was making an effort during the interview to look carefully for any negative points as well... In the end, I think your point was that typos can even make a woman’s overall impression worse. Staff, please point out any mistakes—including mine. I’ll be more careful going forward.
