I’m a male member. I don’t really mind women lying, but sometimes they write things like “I just registered, so I don’t know the ropes yet...” in their comments, even though their registration date was years ago. It’s so obvious that I actually feel sorry for them. Do women not know that their registration date is listed on the site that male members use to browse profiles?

Mamiya from Universe Tokyo here. We provide women with login information, comments, a selfie feature, and a calendar feature. As the operator, there may be occasions when we share information with women, but our policy is that there’s no need to scrutinize it unless it contains personal information or overly revealing photos. I do feel a little sorry for the women, but I think men may actually benefit from being able to spot things that seem off. If everything looks too good and there’s no information that raises any concerns, male members probably won’t feel inclined to make an offer. We likely provide more information than other clubs, but in return, the women have to put in more effort. Whether they realize it or not, women put on an act by making their messages seem directed at you rather than addressed to lots of people. We know there are hints of that showing through, but pretending not to notice and going along with it is part of the appeal of this kind of pseudo-romance.

Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer as well. Thank you for your question. > Do women not know that their registration date is listed on the site that men use to browse profiles? Since we don’t explain the details, I think many women are unaware of it. Some women don’t even know that six photos are displayed. (When they log in, they can only see one photo themselves. I believe they couldn’t see the videos either, and they also can’t check how they answered the mistress compatibility quiz.) It’s a system where women are unfortunately left in the dark about many things. But just because you can see all sorts of things on your end, that doesn’t mean… well, never mind. (laughs) Still, the women reading this Q&A now know about it, so perhaps it was a good thing you asked. > Even though they register with a blurred photo, their private photos often show their full face clearly. There may be some psychology behind this. “I registered with a blurred photo, but just as I was told, I’m not getting any offers. What should I do? I guess I have no choice but to upload a private photo. I can control which private photo is shown, and I’ve edited it anyway…” Maybe it’s something along those lines—or perhaps there are various reasons.

I’m Hikōki, a male member. That probably wouldn’t bother you, would it? (If that’s how you feel, you’re probably not the intended audience anyway.) - It’s fine to leave the original comment as is when updating. - For those who’ve viewed the private section, it’s considerate to mention that they appear in the photo.

I’m Kazu, a male member. A lot of women probably don’t realize that their registration date is visible, right? You can also estimate it from their membership number, but they’re cuter when they don’t know, so it’s a shame this question is being made public. For the record, in case this question gets published: I actually have a positive impression of women who have been members for a long time, because they seem more likely to understand what’s needed to keep a relationship going. I assumed the blurring was added at the person’s request, so I thought the fact that the private photos weren’t blurred was intentional.
