How can I make an offer to a female respondent on the anonymous Q&A board?

I’m a lost 60-something. Start by becoming an answerer and steadily posting thoughtful replies, or by writing columns—anything that lets people get to know you as a person. The connections you’ve built—meeting Megumi, the woman you’ve been emailing, and so on—are all results of that. You weren’t answering questions with those outcomes as your goal. Saying you’re “brothers” with Mac won’t really help you stand out. I think Mac already gets way too many offers anyway… lol.

Aizawa, Sub-Chief at Universe Club Tokyo, answers: If it’s really bothering you, you could ask the staff at your branch. They might be able to check with someone like Maezawa, and if everything goes incredibly well, they may even be able to arrange it. However, it seems many people don’t want their names to be known, so it might be difficult. Ms. Megumi and Ms. momo are surely wonderful people, so I don’t think this applies to them. But I think it’s quite common to build up your expectations based on someone’s messages alone, then feel disappointed when you see their photo. This was Aizawa, who recently thought someone was stunningly beautiful from behind, only to catch a glimpse of her from the front and feel his heart sink.

I’m Maezawa from the President’s Office, and I’ll answer this as well. Thank you for your question. There’s a good chance that the impression you get from someone’s answers here will differ from the impression you get when you actually meet them. So even if you like their answers and make an offer, you may find that they’re different in person. There are also cases where someone says they want to make an offer because they like the answers, but then contradicts themselves by asking to see the person’s profile photo. If you can’t make an offer unless you also like their appearance, then I don’t think you actually like their answers all that much. If that’s how you feel, it may be best to give up on making an offer. Many women join the service, so I suggest looking among them instead. However, if you genuinely like the person’s answers and feel that you’re drawn to who they are regardless of their appearance—that you’d want to meet them without even seeing a photo, and have become enough of a fan to travel any distance to meet them—then let your 담당 branch know. There may be a possibility of making an offer. Unfortunately, if the respondent is currently on hiatus, we won’t be able to accept the offer.
