How much would someone have to offer you to say yes to a person you’re physically repulsed by?

I’m not sure… I feel like some people would be a no-go no matter how much they offered, but part of me is curious to see how much it would take to sway me. Marika

If you’re not ill and I think I can work with you, I’ll transform you into a stunningly handsome guy for ¥1 million.

If it’s 10 or more, you’ve already gone to the trouble of spending your time, so maybe try putting up with it just this once?

I’ve thought about it, and I just can’t have that kind of relationship with someone I’m physically repulsed by. And then I realized that the other person has the right to choose, too.

I imagined Masumi Hayashi, the woman from the Wakayama curry incident, showing up for a mama-katsu first meeting. No amount of money would make that happen for me… For the record, my former top girl said she’d turn it down even for ¥150,000 if she found him physically repulsive. And the girl who’s likely to become the next top girl said that if she found someone physically repulsive, she’d turn him down even for ¥1 million, ¥2 million, or ¥10 million. That said, if you’re registered with Universe, I’m fine with anyone, regardless of age.

If someone is a complete turnoff on a gut level, I feel like no amount of money would make a difference. However, if it hasn’t reached that point and you’re simply thinking, “I’d rather decline this person,” there may be cases where the right amount could change your mind. That amount varies from person to person, though, and also depends on how strongly the questioner feels about the woman in question. When you think about it that way, this question isn’t really useful as a reference at all. For example, if one person here says 200,000 yen and another says 2 million yen, are you really going to offer 2 million yen? Probably not. Even with 200,000 yen, you’d likely start wondering whether that amount was actually reasonable. If you’re already thinking in terms of a “reasonable amount,” then the whole premise has become a bit strange. In the end, it’s different for everyone. So if, for example, you got someone to agree to 1 million yen, you’d have to test the waters with other women who turned you down—offer 500,000 yen, and if that doesn’t work, try 750,000 yen, and so on. If that’s not an option, then I think you should consider that the women who weren’t interested within your allowance range simply weren’t meant to be, and move on to someone else. If you feel you’re likely to be rejected, that probably means your allowance is too low. Rather than getting jealous and thinking, “Why can everyone else answering this question box make it work with 5, while I can’t?” simply raise your allowance to 7 or 10 and adjust according to the situation.
