> Even with an annual income of 20 million yen, it’s actually quite difficult for me to keep paying 30,000 yen per pay-per-meeting arrangement. The men at dating clubs are incredible.
If that’s how you feel, I don’t think this is really for you, so there’s no need to force yourself.
There are plenty of other enjoyable things in life. You’re probably best off spending your money on whatever you personally enjoy.
That said, although you say it’s difficult even with an annual income of 20 million yen, I’m sure there are men earning around 4 million yen who still pay about 30,000 yen. They’re probably using dating apps or similar services rather than dating clubs, though.
Even if someone earns 20 million yen a year, they might live in an expensive apartment, have a mortgage on a condo costing over 100 million yen, have a child aiming for medical school who requires a lot of money, or have a wife who frequently buys designer goods, leaving them with little spending money.
If, because of circumstances like these, the amount of money they can actually spend is the same as that of a man earning around 4 million yen a year, then there doesn’t seem to be much point in bragging about earning 20 million yen.
From a man’s perspective, a woman who will be intimate with him for free is probably ideal—but this isn’t the place to look for that.
Wouldn’t you be better off just approaching women normally?

Compared with the past, the quality of some women has dropped considerably, and I think it will continue to decline.
You could also take your time and see how things play out.
Also, even with an annual income of ¥20 million, things can vary greatly depending on the person’s occupation (tax bracket), family situation, and the cost of living where they live.

I think you’re absolutely right.
There’s certainly a ton of information online about going rates, including posts like, “I only got ¥___! He was so cheap!” But sometimes I find myself thinking, “I wish they’d consider how the person paying feels, too…”
You mentioned that “the going rates have become so high, and fewer men are using dating clubs,” but I don’t think that means men have become “losers.”
Even without using a dating club, there are plenty of papa-katsu apps and other options, so they may actually have a good chance of achieving their goal of developing a dating relationship with a woman they like. It’s not as though men who use dating clubs are necessarily better, either.
More than that, I’m worried that these heavy expectations about going rates may create a lot of “loser women”…
The woman, thinking to herself: “What? That’s all he’s willing to give me? (# ﾟДﾟ)”
The man, thinking to himself: “I think even this amount is more than enough… She’s still not satisfied? (^ - ^;)”
This kind of mismatch could end up happening everywhere.
I wonder what will happen from here.
Let’s keep watching and see☆
