I understand the membership fee, arrangement fee, transportation costs, and allowance as initial investments for getting the opportunity to meet someone, but after that, is it okay to end the financial aspect of the relationship through discussion with the woman?

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ It may not be my place to say this so smugly as a male member, but I honestly wouldn’t mind at all if there were no allowance. It’s consensual dating, after all. And there are plenty of women like that too—though they may simply be taking money from other men… lol Personally, things absolutely have to involve money. That’s why I often hear complaints from the women who come to me, such as: “I was asked to meet without any allowance!” “He acted so high and mighty just because he paid for dinner!” I’ll handle women like that myself. If you’re willing to meet even for zero allowance, please don’t come to me. I don’t like that.

Maezawa here. Assuming you understand the rules of Universe, relationships after the second date are considered free-form dating. So there’s nothing wrong with discussing it with the woman and becoming like a regular couple. That said, many women who register with dating clubs are looking for relationships that involve financial support (though that’s not everyone’s goal). Please be careful not to push things in a way that could lead to negative feedback from her. If she’s fully comfortable with the arrangement, I don’t think you’ll receive any negative feedback.
