Why is Makio disliked by so many men? I’m asking because someone just said his answers should be hidden. I do occasionally get annoyed by him too, but overall I have a good impression of him because I feel that he doesn’t generally look down on women.

People are people, and you are you, so I don’t think you need to worry about how much allowance other people receive. I’m sure both respondents are wonderful gentlemen. They each have their own approach and way of thinking when it comes to these relationships, and if the women involved are happy with that, then I think that’s all that matters. I don’t think it’s simply a matter of disliking someone because they can’t offer more money. Of course, women appreciate receiving more, but personally, I’d be more concerned about what I’m offering in return and whether I’m actually worth that amount to my partner. I do have an amount in mind below which I feel I probably couldn’t accept, but even if someone offered less than that, I’d still meet them if I felt I could gain something from being with them or simply wanted to spend time together. That’s why I think these relationships are interesting—everyone has their own way of thinking.

Let’s stop attacking the people who answer. Nothing is uglier than verbal abuse.

I’m disliked not only by men, but also by women who, unfortunately, haven’t been able to get an allowance of 5. Also, I don’t think people who appeal to everyone really appeal to everyone. They’re just so bland that they neither harm nor help anyone. A question just came in about an allowance of 2. But if the people answering here are right that “there’s no going rate for allowances,” then you can’t say 2 is low, can you? Since I pushed back, it’s become difficult for anyone to answer “low,” but surely everyone thinks 2 is obviously low. That means everyone must have some idea of what the going rate for allowances is. If I answer like this, they’ll probably start listing more theories and personal opinions and insist that there’s no going rate for allowances. They’ll say it’s all about negotiation. Of course it’s a negotiation. But then I find it incredibly strange that it’s always set at 5. That’s what I’m saying. I feel things were even worse in the past. I seem to remember there being respondents who almost bragged about how low their allowances were. I am the antithesis created by this anonymous Q&A site. The thesis is the people who say “an allowance of 5 or less” and “there is no going rate for allowances.” Almost every respondent here fits that description, right? And I am the antithesis—the opposition—to them. And I think my appearance will eventually lead to a synthesis. Someone who isn’t stuck at an allowance of 5, but also isn’t an overbearing, high-allowance person like me—someone whose character everyone can accept—will eventually appear. Then everyone may live in peace. But that synthesis will become the next thesis, creating another antithesis. That’s what they mean by “history repeats itself.” I don’t think I’m right (though I do think so a little). I’m merely the antithesis to the respondents on this Q&A site. Let’s all search for the right answer—the synthesis—together♪ By the way, there isn’t a single respondent I dislike. I don’t think I’ve ever denied anyone personally. What I dislike are their opinions and answers. So I’m only criticizing people who have money but offer an allowance of 5 or less. I think that becomes clear if you reread my answers. On the other hand, I’m sure there are people who dislike me personally, not just my opinions. But I don’t dislike someone simply because they dislike me. So if we went to see professional wrestling together, I think we could become as close as lifelong best friends—at least in that moment. Japan and South Korea, and Japan and China, may not have the best relations, but I have both Korean and Chinese friends. P.S. I won’t mention any names because Maezawa-san would get angry, but I believe I said, “〇〇-san, your allowance is effectively 7, isn’t it?”♪

If you only look at the literal wording, I suppose it might give you that impression. I think the shallower someone’s thoughts are, the more they tend to pile on words. People with deeper knowledge may sometimes choose to leave things unsaid deliberately. That’s just my personal opinion. Everyone sees things differently. Akari

I can’t afford to pay huge amounts, but I think Makeo and that certain Mr. M (you mean Mac, right?) are both interesting and likable. That said, some women in papa-katsu say they hate sex without feelings, yet still sleep with men they dislike for the money. Sometimes I can’t help feeling sorry for women like that. I’m not looking down on them.

I think everyone has their own reasons for disliking him. From what I can tell, the questioner’s standard seems to be whether or not he appears to be looking down on women. But not everyone judges him by that standard. Some people may dislike him out of resentment because they can’t afford to spend large amounts of money, but I’m sure that isn’t the case for everyone. Also, I don’t think people’s feelings toward one another are simple enough to be summed up in just one sentence.
