Seeing the discussion about low allowances, I wanted to chime in. I’ve been trying this approach myself for a little while now: instead of agreeing on a certain amount per adult relationship, set a monthly amount, with the first month paid upfront. There are various things to be careful about, but why don’t we make this the standard going forward?

No matter how you read it—down the columns or diagonally—it sounds nothing but like a scammer’s pitch. Date-san, we’re both getting older, so let’s be especially careful not to fall for romance scams, wire-transfer scams, or anything similar.

It’s true that there are a lot of stingy middle-aged and elderly men, so the main reason allowance rates don’t go up is the men’s fault. I’ll apologize for that. That said, it’s also true that there are quite a few women who aren’t looking for a high allowance. I used to be intensely disliked by female respondents in the past. (Although there’s also a very real possibility that the problem was simply my personality.) A PJ who can say, “I only get 50,000 yen,” is actually among the more fortunate ones. Some women are overjoyed just to receive 30,000 yen, while many others don’t get a single offer—not even 30,000 yen. To those women, anyone receiving 50,000 yen is an object of jealousy. And someone like me, who sometimes gives 200,000 yen on a pay-per-meeting basis, is practically someone they wish would disappear from the face of the earth. The reason Japan never improves is also because of people who, despite being Japanese, hold Japan back. So start by not begrudging others. Don’t become obsessed with them.

I was about to hide this since it isn’t really a question, but then I saw “Please contact me,” so… Please contact Maezawa. I’ll connect you with Yume Date◎. I’m not particularly fond of PATOLO, but I suppose it can’t be helped… lol > Why don’t we make this the standard for now? By all means, give it your best shot. That said, I think paying in advance would be difficult, since the other person could simply run off with the money. Conversely, if someone asks to be paid afterward, you’d dislike it because there’s a possibility the man might run off, right? It’s the same thing. It seems like a good system for Universe to hold the money from the man first, then hand it over after the woman has honored the arrangement for a month without disappearing. But they probably won’t do it, since it would only create extra work. There’s also the question of how to cover the associated costs. P.S. No women have contacted me so far, so I suppose this person is simply writing all this to pass the time.

I think that sounds good! I’d start by negotiating based on that proposal. After that, it’s up to the papa in front of you to decide, haha. Are you the person who’s been posting several questions since yesterday? Did something come up that’s troubling or confusing you? If you’d like, I’m always happy to talk things through. Please contact me through Maezawa-san. I’ve already left Universe, so you can still reach me on Pato until the end of this month. I’ll be leaving Pato at the end of the month as well, so this is your chance to get in touch before then.
