I read the guidelines for the star-rating criteria, and I think they’re very well done. Until now, were the ratings based on intuition? It’s great that the criteria are now clear. I had felt there was a problem because previous answers in the Q&A box were vague, giving the impression that it depended on the branch or the staff member in charge. So, here are my questions. The person asking is a male member.

Kida, the representative, will answer this question. As you can tell from the fact that none of the staff members touched this particular question, it’s the kind of question that “no one can give a definitive answer to.” These are guidelines, not rules, so please understand that there is room for interpretation. Here is my interpretation. For reference, you can see the details of the ratings here: http://prntscr.com/mkoay2 I’ll answer while recalling the discussions and nuances from when these guidelines were established. (1) There are three situations in which a rating may be increased. Do all three need to apply, or is meeting just the first criterion enough? → Just one of the three is enough. 1. When you respond promptly to messages from the staff 2. When you consistently receive good feedback 3. When you have a series of dates without any particular problems (2) Regarding “when most replies arrive within two hours and are written politely,” how many replies does “most” mean? Is one offer exchange enough? → It’s when the staff start thinking or saying things like, “This woman always replies so politely, doesn’t she? And her replies always come right away—she seems really pleasant.” I imagine it would be at least two or three exchanges. (3) Does “a series of dates without any particular problems” refer only to dates arranged by the club? Does it include dates after the second one? → Yes, it includes them. For example, if we receive feedback saying, “My wallet was stolen and my card was skimmed on the second date,” that would count as a potential problem. (4) To what extent will these guidelines be made public? Will the women be able to see them as well? → Yes, of course they’ve been made public— Actually, they hadn’t been published. We’ll make them public if everything checks out. (5) Does this mean that at least three date arrangements with different people are required to increase your stars? → Your stars may be increased based solely on criterion 1, “responding promptly to messages from the staff.” Some women receive offers but can’t find dates that work, and that happens fairly often. Even through those exchanges, their star rating may be increased.
