I’m a divorced business owner in my late 40s, and I’m hesitant about joining a dating club.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well. > I’ve learned the hard way that finding a wonderful partner comes with an allowance, and that the two are directly proportional（笑） If you understand that, I think you’ll enjoy a dating club too. You may even end up with the luxurious problem of having too many women you’re seeing and not knowing what to do. Unlike dating apps, men who can afford to pay a substantial amount often have smoother relationships. Many men don’t understand this basic point, so the fact that you do probably makes you more appealing to women. > Whenever I have some free time between work, I find myself opening the application page and debating whether to choose Black or Platinum. Hmm? Are you debating which class to join, rather than whether to join at all? If so, I’d suggest joining as Platinum and starting by going on dates with Platinum women. Then, if you want to make an offer to a Black woman, you can upgrade to Black at that point. Universe has this unusual system where upgrading partway through doesn’t cost you anything extra. There’s really no need to hesitate. You could even join as Standard. That way, even if you don’t find anyone you want to make an offer to, the membership fee is very low. If you’re still unsure about joining at all, I think you probably haven’t had your fill of cabarets, clubs, lounges, and dating apps yet, so it may be better to hold off on joining a dating club. Join when you genuinely feel like it. That’s the best approach.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist. I’m just an ordinary employee—a salaried worker—and a black-tier member, so if you’re a business owner, you can confidently sign up as a member.

I’m Hikoki, a male member. Given your age and your preference for women with a natural, girl-next-door look—you’re not someone who frequents the adult entertainment scene—you seem like an absolutely perfect fit. You may be extremely interested in dating clubs, but at the same time, you might think: “It can’t really be that perfect. There must be something shady and frightening about them. Maybe I should never get involved. No, I should definitely stay away.” You may even feel that you’d never join unless something extraordinary happened. But once you actually join, you’ll be amazed to find that all those fears are completely unfounded. There’s no hidden catch—it’s an incredibly safe, reliable world. If someone like you can take the plunge, your life may become so blissful that you won’t be able to imagine having gone through life without this experience.

Seattle. If you prefer women with a more down-to-earth, non-professional look, a dating club is really your only option. I wish I’d found out about them sooner—I regretted waiting two years ago. Life is short, so sign up now.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Instead of writing a question that isn’t really a question, I think you should just go ahead and sign up. As you make more offers, you’ll find women you’re compatible with. And if you register as Black to start with, there won’t be any women you’re unable to make offers to, so you won’t have any trouble.
