For a gravure idol with around 300,000 total social media followers, what would be the going rate for her allowance?

Every time I see questions like this, I wonder: if every answerer here said, “The going rate is ¥5 million,” would you just hand over ¥5 million? And conversely, if everyone agreed that “the going rate is ¥30,000,” would you think, “That’s cheaper than I expected—what a relief,” and only pay ¥30,000? What would you do if it ended in failure?? No offense, but I find what you’re doing a little strange. In the end, regardless of who she is, if you genuinely want to date that woman, shouldn’t you offer what you personally feel is appropriate instead of worrying about the going rate?

As the other respondents have said, even if the relationship continues, can you really afford to pay 100,000 or 50,000 yen every time—or at least 10,000 yen? I think it depends on your financial situation. Just because she has a good face and figure and lots of followers on social media doesn’t mean you’ll be compatible with her in an adult relationship (intimate). What matters is whether you get along, feel comfortable spending time together, and whether you’re physically compatible when things become intimate. Please think it over carefully.

There’s no going market rate for a woman’s allowance. What matters is whether you’re a man she considers worth meeting. If she decides you’re worth meeting even for 50, she’ll meet you. If she decides you’re not worth meeting even for 1,000, she won’t. That’s all there is to it. If you’re agonizing over the allowance just because she’s an idol, things won’t go well even if she agrees to meet you. She’s fed up with men who approach her because of her title, so she’ll see right through you and it’ll be over quickly. By the way, follower count alone is neither useful nor a meaningful benchmark on social media. Followers can be bought, and on social media, someone with fewer followers but higher engagement may have a much higher reputation and value. Whether it’s women or social media, you need to look beyond appearances and pay attention to what’s on the inside. It’s me.

You can make more money through social media—sponsored deals, collaborations, and stealth marketing. Good luck!

The first meeting will probably be in the six-figure range. You get tired of looks pretty quickly, so whether it continues to a second meeting depends on what it’s like overall.

People say there’s no standard going rate for an allowance. Regardless of their follower count, if you like someone, take them somewhere nice to eat, offer the most generous allowance you can, and treat them like a true gentleman—go all out. Don’t cut corners anywhere. Give it everything you’ve got.

If you become that kind of woman, it might be better not to compete based on the allowance.

Based on my own experience, it was 10. She had just started running something like a privately operated dating club, introducing gravure models she knew and making offers, but it was usually around 10. Still, she was basically on the chubby side, so I didn’t feel like trying a second time, lol. From the way she introduced the girls, I finally realized that in her industry, “gravure type” means chubby, while “model type” means skinny. That was a bit of an eye-opener（笑） The other woman I met afterward had even appeared on terrestrial TV. She was tall, well-endowed, and had an incredibly curvy figure, almost like a female character from *Neon Genesis Evangelion*. I was surprised that a Japanese woman could really look like that. Yet her pay-per-meeting allowance was 7, cheaper than the gravure-model chubby squad I mentioned earlier. She was completely passive, so I let her go pretty quickly, but in terms of looks, she may have been the best value for money（笑） Anyway, I’m getting off track. If you absolutely want to be intimate with that woman, be prepared to accept whatever terms she names. You could say something like, “I heard the going rate is around 5, but you’re wonderful, so I really don’t mind paying more than that.” I casually included the number “5” so she wouldn’t get too carried away, but if you’re prepared to pay whatever it takes, you can leave that part out. But honestly, I’m not sure she’s worth going that far for. Women who make money based on their looks do have a certain level of tension and polish, so they’re definitely a cut above. Still, if you look around, you can easily find women in the 4–5 range. I think you’ll be happiest finding someone you click with in that range and continuing with her, lol. That said, it’s important to know what’s out there, so if you’ve never tried it, I recommend trying the whole range at least once. If you really want her, just accept her asking price. Since she gets lots of likes on social media, she probably won’t be satisfied unless she also gets a thumbs-up on her asking price for being intimate（笑） Taro
