Are there many female members whose LINE display name is their full real name? How do you exchange contact information when meeting someone for the first time?

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Since I can’t use LINE or Kakao, we exchanged email addresses instead—but the address she gave me was her real name（笑） In her club profile comments, she said she was worried about being identified. But later, when I asked, “Is your email address under your real name?” she replied, “Yes.” So I was thinking, “What happened to being worried about being identified?”（笑） Of course, keeping your identity private is important, but being so completely open about everything was also…well, either a little careless or kind of cute. That was the impression I got. Incidentally, the address I sent her was actually under my real name too（笑）

Our staff member, Kosaka, will answer as well. I’ve heard that some gentlemen aren’t comfortable being directed to KakaoTalk, so I’m not sure I’d recommend it! There are men who are happy to communicate via SMS or email.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here. Until a few years ago, I think a lot of women didn’t want to exchange LINE contact information. Most were worried that they could be identified because they had registered under their real names or had a lot of personal information listed on LINE. So I think exchanging KakaoTalk instead of LINE is perfectly fine. That said, some men may not know what KakaoTalk is, so you might have to walk them through the installation process. Still, I think it’s fine to help them set it up. If a man doesn’t want to install KakaoTalk, SMS could work too. However, unless you’re both using iPhones, there may be character limits, and you won’t be able to send long messages or photos, which can be inconvenient. So if KakaoTalk isn’t an option, email might be better than SMS. If he doesn’t use email, you could set up an account in advance for this purpose. P.S. > Wait, seriously—don’t use KakaoTalk. > People say that pretty much every guy having an affair has it on his phone. (lol) Everyone thinks they haven’t been caught, but it’s completely obvious! Haha I didn’t realize that was its reputation. That explains why more people have started saying they’d rather use LINE because they don’t want KakaoTalk. I was wondering why, even though so many people used to dislike LINE, and now I realize KakaoTalk had developed that kind of reputation. Is this some kind of stealth marketing campaign by LINE? Are they trying to take KakaoTalk down?

I’m Tetsu, a male member. Only one woman I’ve met so far used her full name on LINE. Most registered under their first names, and two used nicknames. I use my last name on LINE too, so I can’t really complain. But I generally leave it up to the women how they save their contact details, which is why I also have some women who contact me by SMS.

I’m Meg, a female member. I don’t use two phones. Since my LINE account is under my real name, I prefer to communicate by email. If a papa (a male supporter) is persistent, LINE can get pretty annoying. You can send DMs on Twitter or Instagram, so I think that’s sufficient.
