This may be a silly question, and I understand that asking her directly would be the quickest way to find out, but although things have been going well between us and we exchange messages frequently on LINE, her profile has disappeared from my favorites and her data is no longer available. Her profile itself is also gone. I don’t want to ask her directly and have her think I’m looking for other women. What could be the reason? If I look at it positively, perhaps she’s only seeing me. If I take a negative view, maybe she plans to continue looking for other men? However, since her profile and data are gone, I don’t think other men can view her anyway. I would appreciate any advice.

I’m Fuu, a columnist. She may have left the club, but it’s also possible that she’s simply hidden her profile from you while continuing to use it. I think it’s best to assume that other male members can still view it. Girls who are proactive or need the money may also register with several other clubs and apps at the same time. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

Maezawa from the executive office here. It’s Universe’s fault. Once you’ve been matched, the profile should simply be hidden when the date of the first meeting arrives. Sorry for making you worry about this. I wonder if they could change the system? Have it automatically become hidden after the date. That would make both men and women happy, but because the profile remains visible, people end up worrying about things like this, right? The system should just make it disappear. I think that would solve everything. Oh, ladies— Please ask the staff to hide your profile as soon as your date is over. Then the man might just assume, “She’s someone who hides profiles after a date,” and leave it at that. Oh— It would be great if men automatically had to pay the woman ¥1,000 every time they viewed her profile. (笑) If a man viewed it 100 times, that would add up to ¥100,000. I’m guessing the person who asked this question has viewed that woman about 100 times too, right? Though it would be a hassle to build that system.

I’m Flagmaker, a column writer. Most people answering this kind of question are probably thinking, “This again…” and feeling fed up. It’s quite likely that she’s using the individual hide feature. That way, she can tell the men she’s seeing that she’s “no longer active,” even if she actually is.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. Yes, this is a silly, trivial question. But it’s something men do wonder about. There have been several women who’d been with the club for a few years whose profiles became hidden a few days after our first date. I figured this was what people meant by “hiding” their profile… Some even underreported their club experience by about a third. Still, we’ve continued seeing each other occasionally, rather than on a regular basis. With others, their profiles gradually disappeared while we were seeing each other. Some women even switch between visible and hidden. It feels like women who receive a lot of offers tend to hide their profiles after we’ve been seeing each other for a while. Those who don’t receive many offers usually keep their profiles visible even while continuing to see someone. I guess this answer ended up being pretty pointless too… Anyway, my conclusion is that you should take it as a compliment.
