Male members, do women ever ask you to buy them things like, “Buy me that” or “I want this”? Or do you take the initiative and give women gifts yourself? I’ve met more than 10 women, including women I’ve continued seeing, but I’ve never once been asked for anything… Does that mean they don’t think I’m wealthy and see me as some insignificant guy? Do women also ask wealthy men on the level of Saito or Sozetsu for things? What do you think of women who make such requests?

I’m Saito, the columnist♪ > To be honest, Mr. Saito seems to be about 30.73 times richer than me (by our company’s calculations), so my opinion probably won’t be all that useful—but I’ll answer anyway. Are you with the National Tax Agency? lol Such precise calculations... You’ll have to teach me when we meet next time. I’ve never been told, “Buy me ●●.” (There may have been one or two, but I probably ended things with them right away.) I just buy things on my own. So hints like: “Because it’s Christmas...” “My birthday is next month...” actually make me less inclined to meet them. Going to Ginza clubs can be a bit of a hassle too. I dislike it when the hostess gets in first and asks, “When’s your birthday, Mr. Saito?” I’d much rather spend my birthday and Christmas with my family. That said, if I had to put it one way, I never show up empty-handed. I might give anything from a small gift to inviting someone to a party, buying them an outfit in a private room, and having them attend in it right away. I think I give each person at least ¥1 million a year in gifts, separate from their allowance. (I get the impression that the women think they can build a better relationship with me by not asking for anything.) I don’t like being counted on too much. Other than the feeling of receiving three precious hours of a young woman’s time in exchange for an allowance, everything else is more or less like a tip.
