A follow-up question: Is it true that 70% of men make their profiles public? And is it okay to turn down an offer because there’s no profile?

Mamiya from Universe Tokyo here. Wow, I’m surprised that as many as 70% of the men have made their profiles public! That said, I get the impression that among those who make offers consistently, relatively few choose to disclose their profiles. On the other hand, what kind of information would help you feel more at ease? What would you want to know before meeting a man? Even if you knew that information and then went on a date, would you really feel safe? I’d genuinely like to know. It would be interesting if we could eventually offer a video-streaming service for our male members too!

I’m Marika, a female member. Most of the men I’ve met didn’t have profiles either. But honestly, I don’t think it’s that scary. If it really bothers you, you could write in your profile, “I only accept offers from people who have made their profiles public.” Some people may fill theirs out because they want to meet you. More importantly, you’ve met 15 people in three months. Why not narrow it down to a few generous (well-paying) papas (male supporters)? Then you wouldn’t need to meet anyone new.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here—I’ll answer as well. > Is it true that 70% of the men have their profiles made public? Yes, that’s true. That figure also includes men who only make their profiles visible to the person they’ve made an offer to. > Is it okay to turn down an offer because the man doesn’t have a profile? Yes, absolutely. If the reason is completely unreasonable, we may suggest that you leave because the club probably isn’t a good fit for you. But if you have a valid reason, you’re free to decline. For example: “I feel uneasy meeting someone who doesn’t have a profile.” → That’s perfectly understandable, so you can decline. “I’m worried about being identified because the man has the same profession as me.” → We understand why that would make you uncomfortable, so you can decline. “The person I went on my first date with got angry at me, and now I’m scared. Can I take a short break?” → Of course. You can temporarily suspend your membership. “I’m getting too many date requests. Is it possible to stop them for a while?” → We’ll hide your profile for a bit. Let us know when you’re ready to go on dates again. That sort of thing. So, if a man doesn’t have a profile, tell the staff: “I’d like to check his profile…” If they tell you that he hasn’t made it public because that’s his preference, you can still decline. (Most of the time, he’ll panic and register a profile at that point, though.) Please don’t push yourself too hard.
