I’m the person who just posted about failing the online interview!

I’m BB7, a male member. I’ve never used an app, but I had no idea there were so many middle-aged guys who’d be thrilled just to have dinner with a young woman. Unless you’re Type A and attractive enough to breeze through the “Universal” level, that is… Even if you registered as Type B, I assume they figured you’d receive few, if any, offers. The fake gentlemen registered here—including myself—and the older men on dating apps are a different breed in terms of what they’re looking for, the level they expect, and everything else. You’d probably be better off focusing on the arena where you have the strongest prospects.

Maezawa from the president’s office here as well. > If anyone has any hints, I’d really appreciate them! Huh? In my answer to your previous question, I thought I made it clear that you were rejected because of A. Was that not clear? This time, too, you wrote, “Assuming A isn’t possible here,” so I believe the staff concluded that there would be no point in conducting another interview. You may be wondering what A actually means, but there are women whom men would want to make an offer to even if it were dinner only (no intimacy). A is available for those exceptional women. Unfortunately, being rejected at the first interview means they judged that you would not receive offers for dinner only. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but I believe it means you did not meet the standards required to register with Universe. Also, if you suddenly say, “In that case, I’ll go with B after all,” they may find it suspicious. If you register under false pretenses, it will come to light through feedback from the men, and you could potentially be held liable for damages.

I’m Rin, a female member. I’m wondering if my answer will be of any help, but… If you’ve found a place where you can enjoy a meal with a smile and receive an allowance, maybe you should just continue using that place. There are plenty of wealthy men here who only want very young women, but it’s wiser to cherish the place you’ve already found. People here have all kinds of views—from confident men who say, “I can find a girlfriend in real life!” to those who understand the point of involving money, and those who make narrow-minded comments as if their personal opinions were universal truths. Even if you’re quite a bit older, you can still enjoy papa-katsu happily as long as there’s demand for you. And that demand is different for everyone.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. Ask your friends, family, and others around you who know you well to tell you about your bad points. That’s the most reliable way. This isn’t limited to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). At its core, it’s about how other people see you, and asking for advice here will only give you temporary reassurance. If you’re serious about changing yourself, you should ask the people close to you for harsh, even brutal advice. Most likely, people can see right through that half-hearted attitude. > To Paper Airplane: A woman in her 20s A middle-aged woman in her 30s ← this one A beautiful woman in her 40s Isn’t “a middle-aged woman in her 30s” kind of harsh compared to the others? lol

I’m Hikouki, a male member. If you’re able to do a lot of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) independently and are considering joining Universe, doesn’t that mean most of your papas (male supporters) are small-time players—and that you’re the kind of woman who attracts men at that level? Honestly, I think you’re probably only worth about that much. Even if you managed to get into Universe, you probably wouldn’t receive many offers. You’d likely end up bringing men chocolates, snacks, tea, and so on as gifts from the very first meeting… I think women who pass Universe’s Type A screening need to be genuinely pure—or exceptionally good at putting on a convincing act. Also, most women get accepted by Universe (in Kansai, perhaps almost everyone??), so even for Type A, being rejected by Universe means you’re at a pretty terrible level… unfortunately… P.S. Romane, I’m honored that you mentioned me in your comment. Thank you. I was just a little happy that you reacted… I wondered if I’d managed to sharpen my edge, even just a tiny bit… The fact that you give people a small gift when you meet them really is impressive. Everyone who gave me a small gift at our first meeting has stayed in my memory. Please interpret “22” as the retirement age for papa-katsu girls… Oh, my longest-term girlfriend is in her 50s… That’s eternal love too… P.P.S. Mac, Whether it’s a woman in her 20s, an older woman in her 30s, or a glamorous woman in her 40s, I like them all as individuals. Depending on the person, women around my own age are within my range too. There’s nothing we can do about the fact that, for both men and women, aside from what comes with experience, everything only declines after peaking around age 20… My daughter called Kyoko Fukada an old lady and Ayumi Hamasaki a grandmother, so I suppose that’s how young people see things… Probably me too… P.P.P.S. Mac, As the male member who is endlessly biased in favor of women, as Papuwa once praised—or perhaps criticized—me for being… I devote myself completely to the persona of a member who favors women aged 18 to 21. Women aged 22 and over have more sense, and become more appealing both as human beings and as women. I believe their value is already more than sufficient without them having to say a word.
