I always enjoy browsing this site(^^)
I joined Universe Club three years ago, but withdrew after three months. Now I’m thinking about registering again for the first time in three years.
So I have a few questions.
(1) For the male and female members who read this site, which ranks are most common?
Judging from the questions posted here, I get the impression that there are a lot of Gold female members and Platinum male members. Is that right?
(2) I was in the Black class three years ago. Is there a possibility that my class will be lowered when I register again after such a long break?
Does having the background of being an “experienced dating club member (re-registering)” affect class placement?
Three years ago, I received 15 offers in two and a half months. One involved being late, and another was a cancellation, which lowered my star rating. Both were due to work-related circumstances. (The club gave me a serious warning, and I stopped receiving offers altogether afterward.)
(3) From here on, I realize this may be considered a rather naive question, so please feel free to skip it if it makes you uncomfortable.
At Universe Club, do you think it’s possible to pursue a serious relationship with a wealthy man, with marriage in mind?
I’m 26 this year, and I’m starting to feel anxious that I need to begin looking for a marriage partner before my market value declines.
The number one thing I’ve always wanted in a boyfriend or husband is money. I’ve felt this way consistently for as long as I can remember. I don’t mean someone who’s merely somewhat wealthy—I mean genuinely rich.
Of course, it’s not as though I’d accept just anyone with money. (Does that sound contradictory coming from a woman registered with a dating club? lol)
Even with that as a prerequisite, I also value things like having good chemistry and enjoying each other’s company.
Three years ago, I had an experience at Universe where an extremely wealthy Chinese man pressured me to marry him.
At the time, I turned him down, thinking, “Marriage? There’s a cultural barrier!”
But I’m highly educated, a good listener, and have always been just slightly better-looking than average (I’m aware that I’m not exceptionally beautiful or cute). Other than that, I don’t have any particularly outstanding qualities.
That’s why I feel Universe may be suitable for someone like me to efficiently meet someone incredibly wealthy (I apologize if that sounds rude).
I imagine that the number of men and women who actually end up getting married is extremely small...
Especially since most wealthy members who register with dating clubs are married or simply looking to have fun.
So would it be foolish to register while holding out even the slightest hope of a fateful encounter?
Thank you for reading all the way to the end. I look forward to hearing your answers!
I’m in Seattle.
There probably aren’t many single people here to begin with. I’m single myself, but I have no desire to get married, so I don’t see the need.
I can’t read English, but I’m pretty sure I saw it somewhere. I think the person asking this question may be rushing into things.
You might have better luck targeting high-caliber people on a marriage-oriented dating site.

Thank you for your questions.
> (1) Which ranks are most common among the male and female members who visit this site?
I don’t currently know which rank is the most common. Apparently, it would be possible to find out by implementing a certain system.
Actually, the technology being used around the internet these days is pretty scary.
By the way, another page—not this one—uses the same technology that’s commonly used online, so they can tell when Staff Maezawa visits that page, even though he hasn’t registered his name. (Laughs)
That said, I doubt any staff member has the time to go out of their way to check.
> (2) I was in the Black class three years ago. Is there a chance my rank could be lowered when I register again after such a long time?
Yes, that’s certainly possible.
The main reason would probably be that your appearance has changed.
Having previous experience with a dating club and registering again won’t affect your rank. There are plenty of people who were Black before and remain Black when they re-register.
> I was severely reprimanded by the club. After that, I stopped receiving offers altogether.
In that case, there’s a possibility that information about it could be added when you re-register.
Even women with just one star normally still receive offers—though fewer, and popular women may still get offers from men despite that—so if you stopped receiving them completely, it’s possible that you made excuses when you were reprimanded. The staff may have decided they could no longer introduce you, recorded those excuses as well, and noted something like, “We don’t recommend this woman.”
And negative information tends to remain on record...
It might be better to find a way to register as a first-time member rather than re-registering, but I can’t exactly recommend that myself.
When you re-register, try being about twice as friendly and considerate toward the staff so they’ll trust you again.
Then they may write something like, “She had one star before, but this time we feel she’s trustworthy.”
> (3) Do you think it’s possible to have a serious relationship at Universe Club with a “wealthy man,” with marriage in mind?
Some people have gotten married, so it’s not impossible. However, I don’t think you should count on it. The odds are extremely low.
You might end up in a serious relationship where you’re treated as a convenient woman, but “serious relationship” may be nothing more than words, and he may have no intention of getting married.

I’m Flagmaker, a column writer.
I’m not wealthy at all, but I’ve had women say things like that to me twice through encounters like these. Only twice, though, haha.
There are women who are looking for someone to marry. Even aside from those two cases, I’ve met women who were clearly looking for a wealthy husband.
As for men, I’m not sure. I really have no intention of getting divorced, and you could say that being married is why I enjoy dating clubs.
That said, based on the data on male members listed on the website, it’s true that there are quite a lot of single men.

> (1) What membership ranks are most common among the male and female members reading this site?
I don’t think there’s any way to know the membership classes of the people viewing the site.
However, since there are more female Gold members and male Platinum members overall, I have a feeling the questioner’s guess may be correct.

Although, for some reason, many of the women who post questions seem to claim they’re Black members（笑）
> (2) I was a Black member three years ago. Is there a possibility that my class will be lower when I register again after such a long break?
I do think there’s a possibility it could be lower—not necessarily because of the experience at the dating club that you’re worried about, though.
> (3) Do you think it’s possible to find a serious relationship at Universe Club with a wealthy man, with marriage in mind?
It may be possible, but I think the odds are quite low. In fact, you had that experience three years ago, didn’t you?
Reading your question reminded me, for some reason, of a copy-and-pasted response supposedly written by the CEO of J.P. Morgan. It was originally a reply from someone calling himself “a banker in NYC” to a question on Craigslist similar to yours. It’s nostalgic, so I’ll post it here. Since you mentioned having a high level of education, please enjoy the original English, which you may find more entertaining.

I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.
Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful!
So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35
