Aren’t there a lot of women who make their occupations sound more impressive than they really are?
This content is machine-translated.
For example, one woman listed herself as a model in her profile. But when we met and talked, she wasn’t actually a professional model—she was a reader model who appears in magazines for the general public, perhaps an amateur swimsuit model, or a model used by amateur photographers for practice.
Another woman said she was a secretary, but she didn’t seem to really understand what a secretary’s job involved, so I got the impression she was probably just doing general office work.
And when someone says she’s an idol, it turns out she’s just an underground idol with no idea when she’ll ever make it into the mainstream.
Once you find out the truth later, it’s disappointing and makes you think, “Huh?” Why do they do things that are almost like lying about their occupations?

The goal is to meet a good person and build a good relationship, so does it really matter?
Besides, if the staff—who want to help create more good matches—pick up on even the slightest hint and expand on it, that’s only natural. You should just take it as them giving you another opportunity.

If you think about it reasonably, it’s unlikely that an idol who’s active in the mainstream—not an underground idol—would publicly post a profile and do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). Though there might possibly be women who are kept completely secret through private salons.
On the other hand, I’ve had experiences where I thought, “Wait, is someone with this kind of profession really doing papa-katsu? Why?” Everyone I’ve met seemed genuine, not like they were lying. I don’t know much about models, but I’ve met someone who seemed like a serious, professional model too.

I don’t think they’re exaggerating. I think the expectations you have when you hear “model” or “idol” are simply too high. If you keep your expectations in check, you won’t be disappointed.
That said, I do feel that pretty much anyone could be called a model.
I didn’t actually answer your question:
> Aren’t there a lot of women who exaggerate their professions?
As I said above, I don’t think they’re exaggerating, so I wouldn’t say there are many.
Also, when you read the club’s comments, they usually explain what kind of model or idol she is.
> Why would they do something close to occupational fraud when you’ll feel disappointed after learning the truth?
If a woman’s occupation is listed as a model, idol, or secretary, I assume she really does that work.
If someone lists modeling or being an idol even though it probably isn’t her main source of income, I think it’s because she hopes men who see it will make her an offer—in other words, to attract people like you.

I’m Maezawa from the President’s Office, and I’ll answer this too.
I don’t really understand why you’re so hung up on that. Even if she’s a reader model, wouldn’t you say something like, “There, there—keep doing your best,” or, “Being an underground idol must be tough, but you’re working hard. I’ll support you”?
If someone writes “cabin attendant” but isn’t one at all, that’s obviously a problem. But going from “idol” to “underground idol”—if you look at the broader category, it seems to me that it still fits.
If anything, I feel like men’s professions are more often completely different from what they claim. Is it because they think, “I’m the one paying, so it’s okay to hide my profession”?
Universe is a for-profit company, so they don’t say anything about that. But from a woman’s perspective, some may think, “If you’re going to be that particular, what about your own profession?”
We don’t receive feedback like that, though.
