I’m a female member in my 20s.

I’m Saito♪, a column writer. I rely 100% on staff recommendations. I haven’t chosen anyone myself lately. Personality is what matters most to me, but the comments can change over time. For example: - Someone was described as “very nice,” but after receiving a flood of offers, she somehow became demanding and unpleasant. Things like that happen all the time.

Maezawa from the Planning Department will answer as well. There are times when staff recommend women to men, but it’s not very common. Normally, men choose someone from the list of women themselves and send her an offer. They may ask for the staff’s opinion when doing so, but that’s generally the extent of it. Recommendations usually happen in the following situations: ① When a man has asked us to let him know if a woman matching certain criteria comes in. For example, if he says he’s looking for someone with black hair, under 160 cm tall, under 45 kg, and so on, then if a woman who meets those criteria comes in for an interview, we may introduce her to him. ② When the man has never received a complaint from a woman and always provides the allowance according to her wishes—in other words, someone the staff also considers a good man. We generally know what kind of women he likes, so if we meet a woman we think would be a good match during her interview, we may introduce her to him before adding her to the women’s list. ③ When the staff personally thinks a woman is exceptionally good, regardless of whether she matches a particular man’s preferences. We might say, “She may not be your usual type, but she seemed like a really good woman, so I wanted to introduce her to you.” So basically, women are introduced when the staff thinks highly of them or when they match a man’s request. It’s very uncommon for a woman to be introduced simply because she hasn’t received any offers. Occasionally, even when the staff thinks a woman is great, she may receive no offers at all. That could lead to some misunderstandings, but in principle, the women we recommend are women the staff genuinely considers good.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. I’ve only been recommended two people so far, but both were great. Since I was already seeing someone, I turned them down, even though they seemed like a really good match. Once that relationship ends, I’m thinking of asking to be introduced to someone again. The staff members who made the introductions were either the ones who interviewed me or staff I’d met before.

I’m Adventure Merchant, a columnist. There are times when staff will personally recommend a particular woman to a man. I was often given recommendations myself, too. From a man’s perspective, you can learn quite a lot from photos, videos, and a detailed profile, but things beyond that—more intuitive impressions—are difficult to put into words. However, when it comes to moving forward with an arrangement, those very feelings that don’t show up in writing are important. So there were times when I felt it was more reliable to take a recommendation from the staff. Of course, I also made offers based on my own instincts plenty of times… I don’t think they would recommend someone to a man who hasn’t been meeting many women. (Was the man you met this time someone like that? ^^;) Basically, I believe the staff are there to support happy encounters, so… I’d like to believe there aren’t any staff members who think: “He hasn’t been meeting many women, but let’s introduce him anyway. She probably won’t be satisfied at all, but we need to make the setting fee somehow.”
