I’m starting to feel that moving into an adult relationship (intimate) for 30,000 yen per meeting is ridiculous. I may receive harsh comments asking, “Do you really think you’re worth that much?” but isn’t 30,000 yen per meeting hardly any different from compensated dating?

I’m Maezawa from the President’s Office, and I’ll answer as well. The allowance is something the two of you discuss and decide together. If you’re not comfortable with it, you’re free to turn it down. Ultimately, this is about freely choosing who you date. The basic idea is for both people to agree and enjoy themselves. That’s why the allowance varies from person to person. If a man likes a woman, he may accept her requested amount—even if he feels it’s high—simply because he likes her. > What do men feel about these relationships? Men are all different. I think many of them feel that the allowance is a given, but while you’re together, they want the relationship to feel like that of a couple. However, some men do approach it more like a commercial sexual service. Since you’ll meet all kinds of people, I think there’s also something exciting about wondering what kind of man you’ll meet next. I hope you can enjoy that aspect too—seeing what kinds of men you might meet. I hope you have a wonderful encounter with a great man.

I agree with Seattle-san.

I’m a male member based in Seattle. Please don’t hesitate to say no. This isn’t a sex service, so spending time together when neither of us is enjoying it is simply a waste.
