I’m a male member. What do you think about posting photos of food as private photos? In that case, I feel it would be better to post an unedited photo of yourself. Photos taken in a restroom mirror with part of the face covered also give off a sugar-dating vibe, so I tend to avoid making an offer. What kind of private photos would make you want to reach out?

Wu Youyou from FS3 here, offering my answer as well. A woman’s private photos aren’t limited to selfies. She may also occasionally post pictures of food or personal belongings, such as designer handbags. I think this can be a form of self-promotion, including an indication of her attitude toward money.

I’m Fuu, a column writer. It’s true that photos of food don’t really help when deciding whether to make an offer. I imagine female members post them more with an Instagram-like mindset. As with the person who asked the question, ordinary, unedited photos are much more helpful—such as pictures taken while traveling, wearing a yukata, or relaxing at home with a pet.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s Office, and I’ll answer this one too. > What do you think about posting pictures of food as private photos? I don’t see a problem with it. But aren’t you, the person asking, not posting a picture of yourself in the first place? Or are you posting a picture of something other than a person? Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to criticize others while ignoring your own behavior?

I’m Taro, a male member. There’s zero chance I’ll make an offer based on a photo that doesn’t show the woman herself. And if she is in the photo but it’s heavily edited or overly glamorized, I just pass. A lot of people look different in photos. When you click, you’re taken to the profile page, where the first photo taken by the club is displayed full-size. Sometimes I think, “Wait, this is the same person?” A gap can be interesting, but I won’t make an offer. Sorry. Natural-looking photos are best. Many times, I’ve seen a profile photo and gotten a good impression, then looked at her private photos and thought, “Oh, so this is what she’s really like. I like it after all,” and decided to make an offer. I may pay fairly close attention to the setting in the photos, too. For example, a photo taken by the pool at Marina Bay Sands, or someone who’s just a student or office worker posting photos that look like professional promotional shots. Or obviously a photo taken in the restroom at the Ritz. Even if the photo looks beautiful, I find myself thinking, “What’s going on here?” I may feel more wary than impressed. Swimsuit photos are effective. You can check things like breast size, how her body carries fat, and whether her figure is well-balanced. After all, dating clubs are ultimately about intimacy. But when a photo really emphasizes how good someone’s figure is, I sometimes think, “She must be overwhelmed with offers.” I had a feeling the person asking this question might actually be a woman, so I tried to give a slightly more thoughtful answer~♪

I’m Kazu, a male member. I don’t see any problem with women posting food photos in their private albums—it’s entirely up to them. As a male member, shouldn’t you simply make offers to the women you’re interested in? I don’t look at private photos when choosing who to make an offer to.
