Why isn’t there an income requirement for male members? I understand it’s based on self-reporting, but people can lie as much as they want. I’ve also come across men with poor manners, so I feel the quality of the men is no different from what you find on dating apps…

I’m a male member—and apparently one of the losers. New Feature Added to the Member Rating System https://universe-club.jp/information/71550/ It’s good news that male members will be able to see their own ratings now, right? I’d love to see them keep pushing initiatives like this. The people I picture as having the worst manners are the extremely wealthy ones. I’ve heard several stories from women I’m seeing on an ongoing basis—men saying, “I’ll give you ¥1 million, so let me finish inside you,” tossing a ¥1 million bill at their feet, and then trying to force themselves on them. Or making them dress like a dog and trying to feed them. I’m pretty sure I have terrible manners too, so I’ll probably get just one star♪

I’m Fuu, a columnist. Being wealthy doesn’t automatically mean having good manners. There are plenty of psychopaths and selfish people who make a lot of money, too. lol

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. There are all kinds of people out there, so I think you should only date someone who feels right for you. Even if you receive an offer, you’re not obligated to take things further, so I’d suggest assessing people carefully at every stage, including on the apps. I don’t know anything about apps myself, but pretending I do, I imagine you can make judgments at various stages there too（笑）

I’m Kamihikoki, a male member. Some men simply aren’t willing to go that far just to join. As a result, only men who are that determined to get in end up joining.

I’m Maezawa from the president’s office, and I’ll answer as well. > Why isn’t there an income requirement for male members? I think it’s simply the company’s policy. Personally, I’m happy with the way things are now. That said, I do feel that it may be time to create an upgraded version of Universe Club. An income requirement would be a given, and there could be immediate penalties whenever a woman gives a negative review. But if we go too far, we’ll end up facing a complete backlash from the men, so drawing the line would be difficult. > I’ve encountered men with poor manners, and I feel the quality of the men is no different from those on dating apps… What do poor manners have to do with income requirements? Regardless of income, people with bad manners have bad manners, and people with good manners have good manners. As for the quality of men on apps, what exactly do you mean by “quality”? Some Universe members probably use dating apps as well, so if you’re looking at the same person, the quality is the same. When we say Universe is safer than dating apps, the major difference is that if a man deceives you on an app, there’s nothing the company can do. With Universe, we can take action. That makes a significant difference in terms of safety. Universe meets both its male and female members directly. (There are some exceptions.) People working for dating app companies generally don’t meet either the men or the women directly. I think this is one of the areas that has a major impact on safety. Of course, Universe isn’t 100% safe just because it’s Universe. However, anyone who has used both will probably agree that there’s a significant difference in safety. In the first place, it’s a mistake to try to judge people based on income. You should meet men yourself and use your own judgment to figure out roughly how much they earn. That’s the basic approach. Develop your ability to judge men for yourself.

Income isn’t proportional to manners. Income isn’t proportional to the allowance amount, either. Manners depend on the man; the allowance amount depends on the woman. Marika

I’m Kazu, a male member. I assume it’s because the membership fee and setting fee suggest a corresponding level of income or assets. In other words, they’re looking at your ability to pay. Income and ability to pay don’t necessarily go hand in hand with good manners. As an aside, I’m not fond of the mindset that describes someone who’s convenient for you as “high quality.”
