There’s no ranking for male members.
If you mean ranking them by the number of offers they receive, in a way, that would also be an inverse ranking—a way of bragging about being unpopular.
If there were men at the top of a ranking that women actually liked, they wouldn’t keep receiving tons of offers forever.
Maezawa from the President’s Office here.
About a year and a half ago, we introduced a new internal system, which allows any staff member to pull various kinds of data, including rankings.
So, while there’s no official ranking, staff may independently generate one and say things like, “You’re ranked, Ms. XX.”
> I was told that I should be proud and show respect because I was offered a date due to being near the top of the rankings...
Also, as mentioned in an official Universe column, there was a story about a male member who said he wanted to meet Ms. S and then actually met her.
Could that be the person you’re referring to?
If it was him, and he was bragging about it, I’d have to think he wasn’t much of a man after all.
Even if he goes on a lot of dates and has plenty of money, he may not be much to speak of as a person. I can’t say for sure since I’ve never met him, though.
Either way, any man who tells someone to respect him seems like a terrible person to me.
At Universe, we’re grateful to the men who spend generously. However, we can tell from the feedback when a man says hurtful things to women, so our staff are aware of what kind of person he is.
Please send us feedback about this incident as well.
Thanks to feedback from women, we’re able to understand how men treat women.

I thought you might be referring to the annual number of dates that Mr. Maezawa wrote about before, but it only went up to fifth place:

I don’t know of any other rankings, but branch staff might tell men things like, “You’re No. ○ in the branch,” or “You’re No. ○ nationwide” to encourage them to make more offers（笑）. I’ve been told a few times that I was one of the top members in the branch（笑）. Sorry for being so easily flattered（笑）.
That said, I wonder whether they would use that kind of sales pitch for anyone below fourth place as well. I was only hyped up like that when I was ranked first or second in terms of spending.
But I’m embarrassed to admit that I spend a lot of money at a dating club, so I’ve only told fellow answerers about it.
What I often hear from women is that the man they went on a date with said something like, “I’ve dated ○○○ women so far.” Is that supposed to mean, “You should respect me”? I always assumed it was simply a way of showing off how financially well-off he was.
If there’s another ranking, perhaps it’s the score given to male members based on feedback from women, which Universe keeps internally. A high score there might be something to be proud of in front of women, but since there’s probably no real point in ranking members publicly, I doubt they list it anywhere. And I can’t imagine staff openly sharing those scores.
I don’t think members are really classified as being high- or low-ranking.
If anything, there are probably the club’s top clients in terms of revenue, along with good customers who are polite, provide thoughtful feedback, and keep staff informed about what’s happening on the ground.
