I’m the one who asked about transportation costs. Actually, I’m a low-paying papa. Sorry for posting again, but rather than showing off by upgrading the hotel or meal, I feel like I should give that money to the girl instead. But if I do that, won’t she gradually start thinking, “I’m worth that much, so a cheap hotel or restaurant isn’t good enough for me,” and become more demanding? What do women think? Please choose one of the two options rather than saying both are satisfactory.

By “two options,” do you mean: ① Spend more on the meal and hotel, while keeping the allowance relatively modest ② Spend less on the meal and hotel, and put the difference toward the allowance (the total amount being the same either way) I suppose it depends on the person, but after explaining it properly, I feel like more women would prefer option ②. On the other hand, I get the impression that more men would prefer a woman who chooses option ①. I’m definitely not a generous (well-paying) papa, and I don’t go on dates that often, so I think I’m the type who keeps both the hotel and meal costs reasonable while still giving a decent allowance. At the end of the day, it’s because I feel that looks the most respectable（笑） Unless your budget is only enough for about one date a month, if you have enough for two or more ordinary dates, I think it’s better to consolidate that into one date and splurge a little.

“Please answer with ○○,” or “I don’t want answers like ○○.” There have been people in the past who tried to restrict responses like that, too. Posting repeatedly, asking what the respondents think in this format… (Though it’s also possible they were asking what the female members—not the respondents—think.) Even so, I can’t help thinking: Is this going to go on endlessly?

I see, so that’s what you were asking. If you say: “I’d really like to book a nice hotel and give you a generous allowance, but I have a set total budget for the date. If you’re okay with it, how would you feel about downgrading the hotel and meal so I can give you a little more allowance instead? I’m really sorry for being such a low-paying papa.” you’ll get a 100% yes, and she’ll be happy too! Alternatively, you could say: “I graduated from Todai’s medical program, have 200 million yen in cash, and need to save money to spoil my 19-year-old monthly partner. So for our date, I’d like to downgrade the hotel, eat at Saizeriya, and reduce your allowance too.” That might work.
