Maezawa from the president’s office here, and I’ll answer this as well.
> I heard from a woman today who was upset after discovering that a prominent business owner, who seemed like the genuinely lovestruck, stalker type, was actually looking for something for free.
> (Apparently, she’s at least received a ¥100,000 pay-per-meeting allowance and a Bulgari snake piece.)
Since she described it as something upsetting, I assume the woman is troubled by the situation. However, if she’s receiving ¥100,000 per meeting, then regardless of what his intentions were, and despite the fact that he doesn’t seem like a very decent man, I feel there was little actual harm done.
> Is there any way to identify men like this?
Even if it was a second or subsequent date, please send us your feedback. That way, the club staff can recognize that this man is dangerous and warn women accordingly when making offers.
However, it’s difficult to make a record based on just one report, so feedback from multiple women is necessary.
Also, it’s best to stick to the facts when submitting feedback.
If the report says something like, “This man is terrible, so please ban him,” the staff may start siding with the man, thinking that perhaps the woman’s feedback itself is questionable.

This is another interesting and thought-provoking question.
> “Those looking for dinner only” and “those looking for a freebie”
I couldn’t help but laugh. You can come up with all sorts of possibilities.
Perhaps we need to keep in mind that “people like that do exist” when using these services.
That’s also one aspect of dating clubs. We both need to be careful.

So he’s been giving you 100,000 yen per meeting plus a Serpenti… I guess the damage is minimal, at least? (lol)
In other words, up until now, he was paying 100,000 yen each time and also giving you gifts, but then he said something like, “From now on, I’d like us to date as boyfriend and girlfriend, without an allowance or anything.” Is that right?
This happens fairly often, but from a man’s perspective, it may be somewhat unavoidable when he genuinely falls for a woman and wants her all to himself.
In this case, it sounds like you had been receiving a proper allowance until now, so I think it would be best to end things clearly by saying, “I’m not interested in a relationship without an allowance, so I think we should part ways.”
If you want to keep him around because he pays 100,000 yen per meeting and gives you gifts as well, you could continue the relationship somewhat vaguely—but be sure to make a point of receiving the payment upfront each time.
However, if he also has stalker tendencies, I think it would be better to cut ties cleanly and find someone new.
Even if it isn’t him, I’m sure there are men at dating clubs who would offer 100,000 yen per meeting plus Van Cleef (lol).
