A woman I went on a date with before said, “The date with the man who offered to meet me recently was a dinner gathering. That man has used dinner gatherings for business entertaining more than 100 times.” Is that kind of arrangement possible?

I’m Fuu, a column writer. A hundred dinner meetings? That’s a bubble（笑） There are 365 days in a year—that’s once every three days. Even over two years, it would still mean a dinner meeting once a week. If that’s really true, wow! That’s quite something! At least one of them is a club member, and when additional men are involved, the club acts as an intermediary and has rules such as requiring signatures. So, from a procedural standpoint, you can feel reasonably reassured.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer as well. There are arrangements in the form of a “dinner gathering,” where two men and two women meet. You’d probably be better off asking the staff for the details.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Dinner gatherings are possible—I’ve actually participated in one before. Of course, the male organizer has to be a member, so either the organizer chooses the participants or leaves it up to the staff. Showing non-members the members-only Universe Club website would violate the rules. If I remember correctly, when non-members also attend a dinner gathering, the organizer has to sign a document outlining the rules and precautions. I’ve never hosted a dinner gathering with non-members, so I haven’t seen the document myself, but I assume it’s used to ensure that the non-member men agree to follow rules equivalent to the membership terms. For details, it would be best to ask the staff when you receive an offer for a dinner gathering.
