Lately, I’ve noticed a lot of women listed at premium prices. Do the ones who say they’ve returned to the regular price—or the ones who simply switch back to the regular price without saying anything—have negative feedback written about them? Or did they return to the regular price because they weren’t getting many offers? They give me a person-to-avoid vibe, so it’s hard to make an offer.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this as well. A premium price is proof that the staff rated her highly. If you see her as a person to avoid, you may have been misunderstanding the comments on Universe all along. It also makes me worry that things may not be going well with women. Suppose the staff member thinks, “This woman is platinum-level, but wouldn’t she have more options if she received offers from more men?” In that case, they may deliberately register her as Gold and set her at a premium price. Personally, if I thought she was Platinum-level, I’d prefer to register her as Platinum. But when she’s a genuinely good woman, the staff naturally want to promote her, so this seems to be why they do it. That means a woman listed at a premium price is likely someone the staff particularly like. Of course, there are also staff members who, like me, believe that someone they consider Platinum-level should be registered as Platinum. So even among women who aren’t listed at the Platinum price, there may still be some excellent ones. On the other hand, there aren’t any women listed at the Platinum price who made a bad impression on the staff. So, in that sense, the following equation holds: Platinum price = a woman highly rated by the staff The same applies to discounted prices. When the staff think, “She has a great personality, but…” they may set her at a discounted price because they still want to arrange a meeting for her somehow. That’s proof that the staff like her. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t go out of their way to change the setting fee.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. I’ve definitely been seeing “premium prices” more often lately. Sometimes they’re set even for women I personally think, “Her?”—which leaves me scratching my head, haha. On the other hand, although it happens only once in a blue moon, there are occasionally discounted prices too. I agreed to the discount every time, haha. It makes me wonder: Why did they approve her registration in the first place? Are they really that short on women?

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ What does “premium price” mean…? Let’s ask the staff first.

I’m a male member named Dai. If she was listed at the premium price, that means the staff rated her highly, right? Since she was returned to the regular price, I assume it’s because she received fewer offers than expected. So rather than being a person to avoid, I’d say she’s more of a good deal…

I’m Kazu, a male member. The setting fee is decided by the staff, so it has nothing to do with a woman’s personality, right? Why would anyone assume she’s “a person to avoid” based on that?
