A male member boasts on his blog that he’s met nearly 40 women and ended up in relationships with five of them without an allowance. Is that really true? (汗)

Maezawa here—I’ll answer as well. When it comes to a personal blog, the author is free to write whatever they want. They can write things their readers will enjoy, as well as things that aren’t true. So even if you ask us, “Is this really true?” only the person involved can know for sure. I think it would be better to ask them directly. Incidentally, judging solely from the words “we became involved without an allowance,” it could mean that they initially had an arrangement where an allowance was paid, but after spending a long time together, it developed into genuine romantic feelings and they became a couple. In that case, the allowance may have stopped because they were now in a romantic relationship.
