I’m a 28-year-old woman, and I haven’t received an offer in the past year. I blur my profile photos, but I show unblurred photos to anyone who contacts me.

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ I’m sure I’d get lots of offers if I removed the blur, but if you really don’t want to, how about covering just your mouth?

I’m Fuu, a columnist. As Maezawa-san also says, I think Type C is the better option. I can’t help but suspect that Type D means she’s short on money and therefore asking for a high allowance. That’s just my personal opinion, though. When you have your photos retaken, I think it would be a good idea to tell the club staff that you used to do gravure modeling and ask them to include it in your profile. Having your face blurred puts you at a major disadvantage. Even if you keep it blurred, you should submit a video as well. You’ll need to wear something that makes your figure look especially good and catch people’s attention with your photos first; otherwise, getting offers may be quite difficult. If you’re blurring your face because you’re worried about being identified, you may have a better chance by removing the blur and having your photos and video posted normally for a limited period, then leaving the club once you’ve received a certain number of offers.

I’ve only ever had my photos posted with my face blurred as well. Since you used to be a glamour model, I’d suggest retaking your photos in an outfit that shows off your figure as much as possible. I’m sure posing comes naturally to you. That said, your age may put you in an age range with a lot of female members. Rather than go out of their way to contact someone whose face is blurred, men may simply choose another attractive woman if one is available. Marika Correction: There was a time when I had my photos posted without blurring for about two weeks right after joining.

Maezawa from the president’s office here with an answer as well. > A few months ago, I changed my dating type from C to D. If you changed it to D because you genuinely felt it suited you better, then I think it’s fine to leave it that way. However, if you changed it to D because you wanted more offers, that’s actually a major misconception. Men tend to prefer women with type C over type D, and in reality, women with type C receive more offers. So if you want more offers, changing to D won’t help—in fact, it may work against you. Please keep that in mind. > If someone uploads photos with their face blurred, do men find it harder to make an offer or hesitate to do so? Rather than go to the trouble of making an inquiry, men apparently tend to make offers to other women whose photos aren’t blurred. That said, some women still receive offers even with blurred photos, so I’m not sure whether it’s an issue with their comments, fewer stars, or the lack of a video. Incidentally, even if your photos are blurred, you can record a video without showing your face in the frame. Since blurring videos is difficult, it’s usually not done. I think it would be a good idea to have a video taken showing only you from the neck down. Sometimes a man may want to make an offer based on your tone of voice or the way you speak.

I’m Dai, a male member. I think a lot of men hesitate to send an offer when a woman’s photos are blurred. Even if you can see clear photos by contacting her, it feels awkward to repeatedly ask for unblurred photos of a woman whose pictures are blurred. Getting new photos taken is a good idea, since it also shows that you’re actively using the club. P.S. When I searched for women aged 25–29 with Dating Type D and “gravure” entered as the occupation, I found one woman who appears to be you. Assuming that’s you, I don’t think the lack of offers is due to the blurred photos. It might be a good idea to discuss it thoroughly with the club staff as well.
