For Mac, one of the respondents: I just heard from Kazu that he ranked first in branch sales this month. That’s amazing.

I’m Meg, a female member. Kazu, that’s incredible! You’ve got enough political influence to apply some serious pressure, haha.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Oh, it looks like I can post two answers. In that case, I’ll reply here. **Maezawa-san** > As it happens, that branch’s profits have become incredible— > more than double those of any other branch—and it’s been a quiet topic among the higher-ups. That’s great. I’m glad things are thriving locally. The staff at a certain branch always seem busy, though perhaps not quite as busy as you were back when you worked at a branch, Maezawa-san, so please hire one more person for them. Then they’ll probably have time to update the blog and things like that. That said, I’m not sure the gross profit from my sales alone is enough to justify asking for additional staff. Saying it’s thanks to me is far too generous. The sales generated by me must account for only a tiny part of the branch’s total revenue. The other day, a woman was running late for our meeting because of work and had no idea how late she would be. One of the staff members kindly stepped in and had dinner with me instead. I’ll ask the staff member whether it would be a nuisance if I invited them to dinner sometime. (Starting next month, I’ll be able to use my concierge service credits.) > I think there was a man in Tokyo who consistently arranged around two million yen in meetings every month. So that’s where the figure in your earlier answer came from, Maezawa-san. **Paper Airplane-san** After checking, it turned out that about half of the offers were to Black women. So far, every Black woman has agreed to an allowance of 50,000 yen. The information you find online about the going allowance rates for women in each class is false. On the other hand, the women who don’t agree on the allowance are Gold or Platinum. Interesting, isn’t it? Perhaps Black women don’t worry about minor details. I find myself nodding in agreement that Black women really are different when it comes to their personal qualities. Ah, but if I write things like this, more Black male members might join and I’ll have more competition. Still, there are plenty of Black women, and I’d like Universe to increase its profits and bring in more female members, so I suppose it’s fine. We rarely discuss the number of offers anywhere other than anonymous question boxes or among respondents, so I think it’s fair to say that these answers are based on experience. Incidentally, I receive about the same number of offers as you did when you registered, Paper Airplane-san. I chose Black because there was a Black woman I wanted to make an offer to when I joined. Fortunately, I’ve found a woman who makes me feel that joining Universe was worth it. I hope it continues. As you said, I think it’s best to make offers to any women who catch your eye and look for the kind of person you’re seeking. With that in mind, I made a large number of offers. Also, I don’t think there’s anyone who can satisfy all of my sometimes-contradictory preferences, so I feel I’ll have to meet those needs through multiple partners. To find several women I genuinely click with, there probably isn’t any alternative to making a large number of offers.

Maezawa from the president’s office here as well. > I hear Kazu-san ranked first in monthly branch sales this month. As it happens, that branch’s profits have been incredible—more than double those of the other branches—and it’s been a quiet topic of conversation among senior management. (Although under the current system, this isn’t reflected in anyone’s salary.) It was all thanks to Kazu-san. Normally, the branch would treat Kazu-san to a meal, but our company doesn’t have an entertainment budget, so please take the branch staff out for dinner instead. I know it’s the other way around and rather odd, but hey. (laughs) > At Univa, what’s the highest amount someone has spent on offer fees in a month? I’m not sure who holds the record these days, but about two years ago, I believe there was a man in Tokyo who consistently arranged around two million yen’s worth of dates every month. > I love that answer of yours, Maezawa-san. Haha. By all means, feel free to throw your weight around. I’m sure the staff would be happy to follow your lead, Kazu-san. (laughs)

I’m Meatball from the male members—no, Paper Airplane. Kazu, with that many offers, you must really stand out and be remembered by everyone at the branch. Being number one probably means you’ve made a lot of offers to Black members. When online meetings first started, I made 18 online offers in just three days… I think the branch staff were also interested because they wanted to promote the online service… They seemed curious about the response and reputation it was getting. Looking back at when I first joined, I made more than 20 offers within the first two or three weeks. I might even hold the record for the number of arranged dates in one day, three days, and one week. (I was just being a foolish old man…) I was Platinum at the time, so I probably wasn’t generating that much revenue. These days, even a creepy, fat, bald idiot like me has no upcoming offers, so I guess I have the club to thank for that. Kazu, after meeting that many women, I imagine you’ve found some favorites in various ways as well. Having such a high number of offers can be taken either as something embarrassing and pathetic or as something to brag about. Even while writing this, I feel like I shouldn’t, but since this is an anonymous Q&A box, maybe I should share it. I have very mixed feelings about it… What I’ve learned from the results is that meeting lots of women quickly and looking for someone who’s a better match in various ways is probably the best use of your time. > Kazu > To find a woman you really click with, there’s probably no way around making a large number of offers. I think you’re absolutely right. Rather than finding one match out of 20 women, your chances improve when you meet 30 or even 50. Someone with perfect physical chemistry, someone with a deeper emotional connection, or someone who feels like the best overall match…

I’m Kazu, the male member this applies to. I’m not aiming for it myself, but I’m curious too. This is a good question—one they might actually answer. I’m thinking of sticking with it for six months, then summoning the branch manager and threatening, “Can’t you do something about this anonymous question box? I might stop making offers.” Just kidding. If I did that, I’d only end up with more partners, and my body couldn’t keep up. I absolutely love Maezawa-san’s answer here: https://universe-club.jp/help/questions/view/4343
