Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer as well.
Thank you for your question.
> Now that I think about it, maybe the day will come when affiliates get arrested for facilitating prostitution. Who knows, though.
I don’t think that will happen, but the important point is why we originally stopped accepting introductions from our highly valued scouts.
Most of the good women were introduced by scouts, after all. And when a woman was sexually violated by a man, it was usually the scout who listened and supported her. I also believe that women generally went to their scouts when they wanted to talk about unpleasant experiences.
The scouts who brought women to Universe were mostly excellent people. It was more like we simply didn’t work with scouts who didn’t treat women well.
However, times changed, and society began pushing scouts out.
There were even TV programs showing female police officers walking around in plain clothes and arresting scouts who approached them. Scout after scout was being arrested.
As the industry leader, Universe had to take measures. We couldn’t allow Universe to be arrested whenever a scout was caught.
So, reluctantly, we changed our policy and stopped working with scouts.
At that time, we introduced an affiliate-based referral system. Since applications are submitted online, Universe cannot tell whether the people registering were previously scouts, office workers, or people who are good at making money online.
Besides, what matters is what they’re doing now, regardless of their past occupation. If they’re currently operating within the rules, I don’t see a problem.
Former scouts may possibly be better at attracting people, but as long as they aren’t violating the rules, I don’t think Universe needs to say anything.
We also clearly explain things such as relationship types to women during their interviews. If a woman lies despite that, she may be forcibly removed from the service.
> The details include things like higher allowance amounts and shorter dates.
Women also read various kinds of information before registering with Universe. Some may even say, “I received this much through Universe.”
Even if you feel the amount is high, it may simply be that you’re offering too little. And even if you think the time is short, your own standard may just be unusually long.
That varies from person to person.
Even if a woman says she heard a certain amount from her referrer, that is also the amount she herself is hoping for. That’s why she says it.
If you can’t offer her desired amount, then you simply don’t have the means to do so. If you look around, I’m sure you can find women who are a better fit for you.
It’s fine to stretch yourself, but I also think it’s perfectly reasonable to look for someone you don’t have to push yourself for.
Once you start thinking you’re the center of everything, things become difficult in various ways.
Assume that you aren’t necessarily the center, and look for a woman who suits you within that environment.
If you do that, I’m sure you’ll meet someone wonderful.

Lately, I’ve been thinking that the people making completely unreasonable demands may not be Universe staff, affiliates, or scouts, but the women themselves.
If staff or affiliates said anything that went against Universe’s rules, it would only create problems for them later, right? I don’t think the women are necessarily lying either; it seems more like they only remember the parts that suit them, or have misremembered things.
My understanding of Universe’s rules is that the first date is generally expected to last around two hours for a meal or coffee, followed by another roughly two-hour date involving consensual adult intimacy. So, women are asked to keep about four hours free, just in case.
