Hi, I’m a 25-year-old woman considering signing up for the first time.

Maezawa from the President’s Office will answer these questions as well. > From the page viewed by male members, are most of the women’s photos shown with their faces visible? I looked at the first 100 women registered in Tokyo. Three had blurred photos, and two had poses where their faces couldn’t be seen, such as turning their heads away. So, 95% of women register with their faces visible, while 5% do not. > At the first meeting, what percentage of encounters end with just tea or a meal? If you choose Dating Type B, it means: “I’d like to have just a meal and part ways on the first day. I’ll consider an adult relationship (intimate) from the second meeting onward.” So, if the woman doesn’t want to go any further, she can leave after tea or a meal 100% of the time. She’s also free to accept or decline a second invitation. However, men are assessing during the conversation whether a second meeting might be possible. If you intend to avoid an adult relationship (intimate) altogether, they may see through that and complain that you misrepresented your dating type. So, if you only want meals, I’d recommend choosing Dating Type A. However, choosing A significantly raises the interview screening standards, so there’s also a chance you may not pass, since you’ll receive fewer offers. > I’m scared, so I’d like to start with just tea or a meal and decide whether to meet again when the time comes. Am I being too naïve? I think that’s perfectly normal, so there’s no problem. > I wonder whether men still use these services during the economic downturn caused by COVID. My earnings haven’t declined, so I’m receiving the same number of offers as before COVID, or even more. It’s unclear whether COVID has had no impact, or whether earnings would have increased much more without it, but you can assume that COVID hasn’t had any real effect. > After registering, how often do you meet with male members? Is it really possible to get matched that often? Popular women may receive offers on the day they register, sometimes getting several within their first week. However, for an average person, I think it’s better to expect roughly one offer during the first month. About half of the women don’t receive any offers. A major factor is whether your appearance makes men want to send you an offer based on your photo. That said, some men may become interested and send an offer because of something about your personality or an unusual detail written in your profile. When it comes to offers, some people receive many while others receive none. That’s simply how this world works, so there’s no point worrying about it. No one knows what will happen until they actually register. I understand feeling hesitant, but I think it would be a good idea to start by coming in for an interview.

I’m Karazaki from Universe Club Customer Success, and I’d be happy to answer your question as well. More than 90% of our female members register with their faces visible. However, it is also possible to register with your face blurred, so please let our staff know during your interview. At Universe Club, you can choose a relationship type when registering. Through this option, you can let male members know in your profile whether you’re open to an adult relationship (intimate) from the first meeting, or, like you, would prefer to start with tea or dinner only and consider anything beyond that from the second meeting onward. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, many men are still making offers. We would be delighted if you would come in for an interview, even if it’s just to learn more.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. Most women show their faces, but lately I’ve started seeing a few women who blur part of their face or don’t show it at all. It’s only natural to be worried about being recognized, so I think it’s best to discuss that with the staff when you register and decide what works for you. I don’t think the number of offers has decreased because of COVID. In fact, I’ve been meeting women more often. Thanks to everyone staying home, there are fewer crowded places, which actually makes things easier for me. There are plenty of women who only want tea or dinner at first. As long as you set your dating type to B, there shouldn’t be a problem. If someone pressures you to go further, you can simply say, “I’m a B type.” If they still won’t back off, tell them you’ll contact the club. They should give up then, since they could potentially be banned from the club.

I’m Kazu, a male member. More than 95% of the women show their faces. Women who say they want to decide after the second meeting have selected Type B for their relationship style. I don’t think that means they’re being naïve. When I meet a Type B woman, in my case, more than 90% of the time we simply have dinner and go our separate ways on the first meeting. With the remaining roughly 10%, when we discussed the allowance, I explained the allowance for an adult relationship, and the woman said she would be fine with it that day. I don’t bring up the allowance for an adult relationship with everyone—judging from the person I’m meeting, I mention it on the first date to only about 10–20% of women.

I’m a male member, Paper Airplane. Almost all the women show their faces, and aside from that, I don’t think you need to worry about the points you mentioned.
