In this case, we wouldn’t lower the male member’s rating. We’d simply add a note saying, “Please respond promptly!”
Just as women’s profiles have hashtags, I think men can also be categorized to some extent based on their characteristics.
Rather than simply prioritizing quick responses, we want to aim for matches that take this—and other factors—into account.
We’d appreciate it if you could note in the offer details that it will be canceled if there’s no response within 24 hours.
We hope this helps make your dating activities stress-free!

Basically, “cancellation” refers to canceling after the date has been confirmed.
If the reply to an offer is delayed, the date probably hasn’t been confirmed yet, so it generally won’t affect your rating.
The same applies to women. Saying, “I can’t accept this offer,” before the date has been confirmed does not count as a cancellation. Likewise, saying, “I’m going to pass because the man took too long to reply,” doesn’t count as a cancellation either, so it won’t affect the rating.

There’s actually a catch here.
Let’s say you send an offer at 10 p.m. When things are busy, the club may not process that email until sometime after noon the next day.
The woman might then receive a LINE message during the day, but if she’s working, she may not be able to reply until after work.
If she then has overtime or a work get-together, she might not get home until around midnight.
You might think she could reply sometime in between, but there are cases where she simply can’t.
She may reply to the club around midnight, but her response might not reach the man until the following afternoon.
In that case, it would take around 38 hours from the time the offer was sent until the man receives a reply. However, the woman may have replied within about five minutes of getting home—or even within around 12 hours of receiving the LINE message.
The example above is just one possible scenario and doesn’t happen every time. But if you use a delayed reply as the basis for canceling, you may be missing out on meeting a wonderful woman simply because the club was slow, even though her reply itself wasn’t particularly late.
The club is also rapidly increasing its staff and assigning people to process emails outside the usual hours, so responses may be faster now.
Still, I think it’s worth checking whether the delay was on the woman’s end or due to circumstances on the club’s side.
