Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer this one as well.
Thank you for your question.
> Is there any way to hide my profile from that man?
This was originally a feature that wasn’t meant to be made public, but thanks to the Q&A box, it’s now one of those features that some people know about（笑）
We do have a way to do that, so please ask the staff.
However, men sometimes ask friends to check whether a woman is still registered, so there is still a chance they may find out.
It would probably be a good idea to think of an excuse in case you’re found out.
For example:
“I had asked the club to put my account on hold while you were away, but I didn’t realize your profile had been made visible again.”
“Oh? If your profile is visible, does that mean you said you were going to leave but never actually did? How did you find out?”
You could also prepare a way to change the subject or turn the situation around so it sounds like they’re the one in the wrong.
Also, as Mac mentioned, some men really do leave the club. There are genuinely serious men like that. In fact, I once had a man tell me, just a few months after joining, that he was going to leave. When I asked why, he said something along the lines of, “I only want to be with the woman I met recently.”
There really are sincere men like that.
But there aren’t that many of them.
Some men even message Universe saying, “I’m going to leave after this, but I’m not actually going to quit, so please reply as if you’ve processed my withdrawal.”
In reality, I feel there are more men who don’t actually leave. I imagine part of the reason is that their joining fee and annual membership fee aren’t refundable.
With that in mind, if you’re worried about a friend checking, it might be best to genuinely put your account on hold for the first month or so and reactivate it after a month. When you reactivate it, you could also ask to change your club name, since a friend might search for you by that name.
Still, you should assume that if someone is determined to find out, they may find out no matter what you do, so I recommend thinking through your countermeasures in advance.
That said, if he expects you to commit exclusively to him, is he planning to give you an allowance of around ¥1 million a month?
If you consider that you could date five to ten men, you could probably make around ¥1 million a month. So he would have to cover that amount by himself.
I don’t think he’s prepared to go that far, though...

I figured that if you’re receiving offers, you must be a lovely woman. If you’d like to continue, there are plenty of options: ask the club for advice, register with other dating clubs, use an app, work part-time at a hostess club, and so on. It seems worth considering various possibilities.

As Seattle and Kazu have explained, it is possible to hide your profile from specific people. However, if that person has friends on the site, there is still a chance they could find out through them.
Although members are generally prohibited from encouraging someone to leave the Club, you’ve said that it’s okay for him to withdraw, so I assume you’re making this invitation fully aware of the risks…
Honestly, these arrangements often don’t last beyond about three months, so I feel it might be better to wait and see for around a year…
I’m in Seattle.
The club can make sure that particular man can’t see your profile. Just ask them, and it’ll be taken care of.
Alternatively, if you can get a substantial amount from him every month, an exclusive arrangement is also an option. The amount is up to you.
I gave Kazu-san one minute.

If you paste this question exactly as written into the LINE chat you use to contact the branch, they should be able to set things so that this man can no longer see your profile.
Oh, I wasn’t the person you wanted an answer from. Sorry to bother you.
