I’m a female member. In December, were offers more limited because male members were busy with year-end parties and other commitments? Also, if you know when things typically start picking up after New Year’s, I’d appreciate your insight.

Maezawa here. First, as for whether the offers were on the modest side, I don’t think it makes much difference to know when things will start picking up again. The reason is that popular women will receive offers regardless of the circumstances. So even if you know this, women who aren’t affected by the season may simply think, “Oh, really?” As for the answer to your question: Offers decrease during the winter. Things start picking up once the weather gets warmer.
