Universe says the going rate for a first date is ¥5,000–¥10,000, but do you decide the amount in advance and prepare it before meeting?
This content is machine-translated.
Do people actually use the method of preparing two envelopes—one with ¥5,000 and one with ¥10,000—and then deciding after meeting which amount to give?
If I were the papa (a male supporter), I feel like that’s what I would do. I’m curious what people actually do.

Even in the worst case, I’d give her at least ¥10,000 before leaving, thinking of it as either a parting payment or a lesson learned. Even if I were leaving after just five minutes… in that case, it would also be partly an apology for my mistake.
Turning someone away just because my expectations were wrong is unacceptable. That’s incredibly petty.

Are you asking as a woman?
If so, I assume there was a man who had only given you 5,000 yen before. Try to remember how you felt at the time.
And wasn’t it possible that he had already decided on that amount before meeting you, rather than deciding after seeing you?
That’s really what it comes down to.
Besides, since the club rules instruct supporters to hand over the allowance upfront, I think it’s more common to decide on the amount before meeting.

Seriously, what’s the difference between the ¥10,000 standard and the ¥5,000 standard? lol
It’s hard and annoying to draw the line, so I’ve decided on ¥10,000.
Also, the club states that the allowance is ¥5,000–¥10,000, but I take that as the minimum guarantee. There’s a set lower limit, but no upper limit.
So thinking about it too much just makes things more complicated, which is why I decide the amount in advance.
Preparing two different envelopes is a nice idea. It really shows how kind and considerate you are.

When getting ready to head to a meeting, I put a 10,000-yen bill in an envelope and bring it with me.
Only once or twice have I ever headed out with a 5,000-yen bill instead, when meeting a woman whose expectations were exceptionally low.
