[Thank you] I’m the person who asked about “negotiating terms.” Your thoughtful guidance was extremely helpful. Thank you.

Regarding the part that says, “I always tell them to discuss the allowance beforehand, make sure they’re comfortable with it, and only then move on to an adult relationship (intimate),” should I understand that this is what you tell the female members? I don’t recall receiving any such explanation as a male member, so I feel this may lead to a mismatch in expectations between both sides—on a fairly important point. (If I had known that the club explained this to the women, I would have made a point of discussing the terms at the first meeting as well, in order to ease their concerns.) For reference, I usually offer an allowance of 50,000–100,000 yen per pay-per-meeting arrangement (10,000 yen for dinner only), and I don’t invite anyone to a hotel from the first meeting—in most cases, even if the woman wants to, I wait until the second meeting. I should also mention that I have never experienced a dispute over money in the past. I look forward to your continued guidance.
