I’m Kazu, a male member.
I feel like they could at least tell you whether there’s any negative feedback.
If the feedback you submit is noticeably harsher than the other feedback for the member being reviewed, I think the staff will naturally form a worse impression of you. That’s just human nature.
It probably won’t affect your star rating, though.

Since you’ve had around nine dates, they may be able to tell you something along those lines. (That’s only a possibility, though, so if they decline, it would be best not to push the matter.)
> If a woman’s feedback is particularly blunt or critical, will that lower the staff’s impression of her or her star rating?
If critical feedback lowered someone’s rating, people would be afraid to write honestly. So no, their rating will not be lowered.
There is one exception, though.
For example, if someone writes something emotional like, “I can’t forgive this man—please ban him,” the club may start wondering, “Couldn’t the problem actually be with you?” Since deciding whether to forcibly remove someone is the club’s responsibility, it’s probably best to be mindful of that.
In fact, I think blunt feedback is actually welcome.

Sorry, but “around nine people”? Haha.
I can understand “around ten” or “around five.”
But “around nine”?! Haha.
Why put “around” after such a specific, oddly in-between number!?
Is that supposed to be one of Football Hour’s signature comedy bits? Haha.
I can just picture Iwao repeatedly adding “around” to ridiculously specific numbers, while Goto retorts, “Why do you keep saying ‘around’!?”
…Anyway, to answer the question, I leave feedback after the first date and after subsequent dates for every woman I meet.
Of course, I include negative feedback too. But I don’t want to come across as some weird male member who only leaves bad reviews, so when I have something negative to say, I wrap it in humor and phrase it in a way that the staff won’t find unpleasant—something entertaining enough to get a little laugh out of.
I vaguely remember seeing an answer from one of the staff saying that there’s a popular woman who gets flooded with offers and receives feedback every time, and that the feedback about her is always entertaining. Her likability among the staff must be pretty high.
