I’m sorry for sending my question before I had finished writing it earlier.

Maezawa here. You probably happened to go in for your interview during a busy time. Also, depending on the staff member, some may find it difficult to say that tights aren’t allowed. (They sometimes get upset and ask, “Why aren’t they allowed?” haha.) So I imagine they ended up taking your photos as-is. > But I can’t have my photos retaken until six months have passed, right? Hmm, I’m afraid that’s how it is. But let me tell you a little workaround. If you’ve received even one offer, contact the branch after the date and say, “I’d like to stop by around [date] at [time] to thank you for arranging the date.” Normally, they’ll say something like, “That’s not necessary,” but try to insist somehow. If they agree, then say, “While I’m there, would it also be possible to have my photos retaken?” Since they’ve already agreed to let you come by and thank them, it becomes harder for them to turn down the retake afterward. Unless the staff member is exceptionally harsh, they’ll probably agree. This time, make sure you’re ready to have the photos taken right away if necessary. When it’s busy, they may end up taking them as-is. Of course, I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get your photos retaken, so don’t get discouraged if all you end up doing is thanking them. The staff member who meets with you will be keeping you in mind. If they think, “She seems like a nice woman,” you may come to mind when a man asks, “Are there any good women available?” Your name might even come up at that point. Of course, there are plenty of cases where the man says she isn’t his type and no offer comes of it. Even so, I think your chances will have improved. Once a workaround is made public, it naturally becomes less effective, but… maybe it’ll still work for now. > What can I do from now on to increase my chances of receiving more offers, even just a little? There’s a feature that lets you post selfies, so posting there regularly can help. There’s also a section where you can write your own comments, and posting there regularly can be effective too. Sometimes people write as if they’re keeping a diary, which can be kind of charming, but I can’t say how male members feel about it. So I think it’s best not to overdo it, while still posting regularly. That said, if one man has already made you an offer, it may also be worthwhile to focus on building a relationship so he becomes your monthly arrangement. You may want to meet various men, but having one man support you isn’t a bad option either.
