Rather than falling for someone based on looks, I’m attracted to women whose upbringing seems to have been privileged. You can’t judge that from photos alone—table manners (basic things like how they hold chopsticks are a given), the alignment of their teeth, neat handwriting, lessons and schools from childhood, the way they speak, and so on. The list goes on, but unless a woman is virtually flawless in the areas that reveal how well she was raised, she doesn’t even make it to the starting line for me.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. > A girl whose upbringing in a good environment is apparent I think you’d be better off referring to the club staff’s comments. If you consider the criteria used to divide members into classes, I don’t think class is relevant when it comes to whether someone was raised in a good environment. You’ll need to meet her in person and make your own judgment, using the staff’s comments as a reference. Also, regarding: > Unless she’s perfect in every way that allows me to judge the quality of her upbringing, she can’t even get to the starting line. You’re free to think that way, but I believe it would be enough to find a girl whose good qualities you can recognize, who also accepts you, and with whom you could build an enjoyable relationship. Besides, I sometimes wonder whether the “perfect girl” you have in mind even exists. As things stand, I think it would be extremely difficult for you to start a relationship—not just through a dating club, but in general.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here. Thank you for your question. Going Black does increase your chances of meeting wonderful women. However, if you’re asking whether the women selected are more likely to have been raised in good environments, I think that may be partly true, but appearance seems to carry more weight. If that’s your goal, I don’t think your chances of achieving it are particularly high. That said, for example, if 20% of all women come from good families, moving up to Black increases the pool, which should also increase the number of potential matches. The increase may be small, but if you consider that one of them might be especially compatible with you, I think choosing the Black tier could still be worth considering.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I make offers regardless of class, but among the women I’m seeing, the ones who seem to come from the best backgrounds are A, a Black member, and B, a Platinum member. A attended elite girls’ schools from elementary school through university, so I honestly find myself wondering why she ever registered with a dating club. Since she registered with one, she’s quite unconventional for someone from such a privileged background, and apparently all her friends are pretty open-minded too. She says she occasionally tells them about me, but their reaction is usually that they can’t believe she registered with a dating club. In other words, I think you should assume that the chances of finding the kind of well-bred woman you’re looking for at a dating club are extremely low. In most cases, these women aren’t short of money, and it’s normal for them to meet a high-income partner through a match arranged by their parents after graduating from university, then get married. Just the other day, A told me that one of her older schoolmates had married a bald man about twice her age. What I’m trying to say is that even registering as a Black member probably won’t change things all that much. However, you’ll be able to make offers to women you couldn’t approach before, so I think your chances of meeting someone will increase considerably. If your chances were 1% as a Platinum member, registering as Black might raise them to 2%. It’s only a 1% increase, but your odds have effectively doubled. As an aside, I don’t think A would fully meet the questioner’s standards. I’m not exactly perfect myself, so it doesn’t bother me, but I seem to remember that she didn’t hold her chopsticks—or something like that—quite properly. And now that we’re both very comfortable around each other, her choice of words occasionally slips too（笑）. So perhaps the chances of meeting the kind of woman the questioner wants are currently 0.1%, rising to 0.2% after upgrading to Black. > Paper Airplane > It sounds like the questioner would be better off looking outside the club. Is the type they’re looking for someone who would never join a dating club? I think so. Although there are exceptions, the kind of partner the questioner is looking for generally belongs to a demographic that doesn’t register with dating clubs. The fact that those exceptions occasionally turn up is what makes Universe Club so interesting, though（笑）

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member who believes in the basic goodness of people. If you’re wonderful, the higher you go, the more wonderful the encounters you’ll feel you’re having. Why not test your luck? P.S. Given your upbringing, though, I feel like you’d be more attracted to the exact opposite… And this really isn’t the time to be judging and ranking people. Please pursue your papa-katsu gently and peacefully, polishing yourself until you shine and allowing your happiness to blossom and fill you up. P.P.S. Kazu, It seems like you’d be better off looking outside the club. Is the person you’re looking for someone who would never, ever join a club? If so, you have no business being in the club either…
