Can someone falsify their background at a dating club?

Maezawa from the President’s Office here as well. With dating clubs, the system originally worked by having men choose women, so until just a few years ago, there weren’t even profiles for the men. When the profile feature was added, male profiles were included as well. Because of that, men can write their own profiles freely, without even needing to notify the club. So even if everything they write is completely made up, it isn’t technically a false declaration to the club, meaning it wouldn’t necessarily be considered a breach of good faith. They can basically make up whatever they want. (笑) For women, however, the information is submitted to the club as a declaration. So if a woman lies, nobody would find it strange if the club removed her registration—effectively forcing her to leave—for violating good faith. In that sense, men and women aren’t treated equally at dating clubs. That said, if a man lies too much, I think things will fall apart once he actually starts seeing someone. So I imagine most men mix in some fabricated details to avoid being identified, while still keeping things within a range that won’t interfere with the relationship. But there are apparently people who think that requests from the club are just requests and don’t have to be followed, so perhaps some people really do make everything up. > Is it possible to falsify your background with the club? So, men can technically falsify their background when dealing with the club because the information is self-reported. However, considering that they could be forcibly removed for violating good faith—although “breach of good faith” is rather abstract, so it might instead be considered document forgery or a failure to conduct oneself as a gentleman— I suppose the situation is that: You don’t lie to the club itself, but since your profile isn’t an official declaration to the club, you can still falsify your background there.

Because it goes both ways. Akari

Isn’t that why people use fake information? Some people try to identify individuals by searching like that. Marika

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ Don’t take everything written in someone’s profile at face value. Some people list an income and you’ll think, “There’s no way that’s true.”

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I think it’s possible. But this applies to both men and women. There’s no way to thoroughly investigate the past of every single registered member.

I’m Dai, a male member. What exactly does it mean when someone says a member has falsified his background? As I understand it, when a woman is offered a date, the club doesn’t explain to her, “This man has this kind of background,” does it...?

I’m Kazu, a male member. If you mean your background, it should be fairly easy. First of all, they don’t ask about your background during the interview. I assume it’s the same for women. Also, even if you mention it in the interview, it won’t be included in your profile. Male members write their own profiles, while staff handle much of the writing for female members—but that sort of information generally isn’t included anyway. That said, unless you’re fairly young, the internet wasn’t widely used when people of a certain age were in high school. And for working adults, unless you have a job where your name is publicly visible, it’s not easy for your name to come up online.
