It seems questions and answers looking down on the so-called “going rate” are getting a lot of attention.

I’m Saito, a columnist♪ As you said, I’m not sure it makes sense to assume that someone will automatically pay more simply because they’re a premium member. Likewise, it seems odd to assume that a woman will receive more just because the man is a black-tier member… though there may be some truth to that. Since the terms are ultimately a black box between the two people involved, I can understand wanting to ask around and learn more in a place like this. You probably don’t want to make mistakes when there are so few opportunities to meet someone, but I think the most important thing is to find someone who genuinely values you and continue the relationship on terms you’re both comfortable with. Don’t push yourself. That’s about it. And I’m sorry if my wording was a little inelegant.
