That kind of thing is pretty old-fashioned, isn’t it? The era of dynamic pricing is here, and with this many offer examples to work from, using AI would definitely be more effective than having people handle it manually. That’s the default with app-based services, but the dating club industry is still stuck with design ideas from the 2000s—or, in some cases, even the 1990s, so it’s a tough one.
I understand that breaking free from those old constraints is difficult, but as a user, I believe it’s only right to complain loudly and put pressure on them without holding back. So I think it would be great if there were about 255 more questions like this. To anyone who writes questions for a living—or perhaps someone like a professional letter writer for a popular radio show—please get on it.

Thank you for your question.
I don’t think there was ever a specific number of offers set as the benchmark.
The passing standard is that you receive at least one offer, so I suppose one offer is the basic standard.
If you’re considering Gold or above, though, receiving only one offer would seem a little odd, so I feel like three or four offers would be the rough expectation.
That said, I think the way people look at this varies from staff member to staff member.
Something that occasionally happens is that a woman receives no offers at all when she’s placed in Black, but then gets lots of offers after being moved down to Platinum—and continues receiving offers consistently every month after that.
It’s still a mystery to me. If she could get this many offers at Platinum, you’d think she would have received offers at Black too…
> Personally, I’d like to get a few more offers, so sometimes I think I’d rather be moved down a class.
For example, if you’re currently Gold, I don’t think moving down to Standard will increase the number of offers you receive. I’m not exactly sure why, but that’s what I’ve seen in practice. Of course, there may be exceptions like the example above.
If you’re Platinum, moving down to Gold will increase your offers, and the same goes for moving from Black to Platinum.
Also, even if you ask to be moved down a class, they generally won’t do it.
It’s unfortunate, but I think it’s better to accept that’s just how things work.
If you tell the staff something like, “I’d really like to get more offers— is there anything that can be done?” they’ll usually suggest revising your profile comments or something similar.
However, depending on the staff member, they may quietly move you down a class.
Even then, things can get complicated. The class was decided by the person who interviewed you, so another staff member may have difficulty changing it, or they may need approval from their supervisor before they can do so.

There are simply too many female members, so I don’t even look at Standard women’s profiles, and I think I’ve only made an offer to one of them. Standard men also make up only a small percentage, if I remember correctly.
If you want a decent number of offers, you should stay at Gold Class at the very least.

If you express your preference, it may be possible to change your class to Standard. However, I think the staff would prefer to keep everyone outside the Kanto region at Gold or below. Unless there’s a very compelling reason, it would probably be wiser not to go against that.
If you’re getting four or five introductions a year, I think you’ve more than achieved your goal, and the staff will likely be relieved as well. Regardless of class, there are probably members in Platinum or Black who receive even fewer introductions than that.
