How can I enjoy experiences comparable to those of a member with an annual budget of ¥10 million while spending only around ¥1–2 million a year?

I’m in my 60s and still trying to figure things out. I’m currently seeing women from the Standard class up through the Black class, but because of time constraints, I can’t meet them very often. In the end, the total comes to about the same as your budget. There are many ways to define “equivalent”—the number of offers you can make, how often you date, how satisfied you are with an adult relationship, and so on. I don’t think spending more money necessarily solves everything, and once you start increasing your spending, there’s no end to it… haha.

I’m Saito, a column writer♪ I agree with Mac’s opinion. That said, I think members spending 10 million yen are also working their way toward 100 million yen and seeing a new world of their own. It’s a difficult point to make a firm judgment on. To put it somewhat cynically, some people probably don’t want to casually share information they’ve gained by investing considerable time and money. (I think everyone has spent a lot of money and knows where to draw the line.) So perhaps that’s why the answers come across as somewhat unhelpful. Haha. Rura has given a proper answer, but things don’t always go according to plan. Haha. Birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions naturally make you want to do something special for someone. Still, if you can meet a woman with whom you can share happiness that doesn’t require spending money, I think money will no longer matter. And perhaps there’s no need to compare yourself with people who do spend money in the first place. Money is ultimately just a means and a way to save time. There are plenty of people who are happy without money, while even wealthy people can have crimes or dark secrets in their lives.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. > Please tell me how I can enjoy the same benefits as members with annual budgets of ¥10–20 million, on an annual budget of around ¥1–2 million. The other respondents’ answers are impressively sharp, as expected（笑）. The dating style you’re asking about is the same as my own annual budget（笑）. It’s an economy plan for people with lower incomes, but the goal is somewhat different. Having tried it myself, I think it’s basically impossible to enjoy the same benefits as members with annual budgets of ¥10 million. New members are added to the members-only website one after another, but I don’t make offers to them. My aim is to pursue discreet relationships, quietly and inconspicuously in some corner of the city, while avoiding other people’s eyes. In my case, that’s simply the dating style I’m happy with—and, in its own way, it’s how I enjoy things.

I’m Joe, a column writer. Based on my modest experience, I think you need to look at your activities at a dating club in terms of addition—or even multiplication—rather than subtraction, or your budget will run out in no time. In that sense, I agree with Mac’s perspective.

I’m Ruler, a male member of UC and a member of the new salon. Let’s say I had an annual budget of ¥2 million to spend. That works out to a little over ¥160,000 per month. In that case, putting the membership fee aside, I think I’d carefully choose one “this is the woman” Platinum-tier member and make her an offer during the first month. I’d probably ask the staff a lot of questions too, like, “Would you recommend her?” (laughs) If we were introduced and hit it off, I’d suggest an adult relationship (intimate) for 5 pay-per-meeting, or dinner only (no intimacy) for 1. If she was comfortable with that, I’d try to meet her again without leaving too much time between dates—ideally within about 10 days of the first meeting. ※If too much time passes, there’s a good chance she’ll forget about you or move you down her list of priorities. At this point, my budget would probably already be pretty tight (5 for the setting fee, 5 for the allowance, and 2 for the hotel and meal), so for the second date I might say: “I really enjoy spending time with you even apart from sex. That’s actually something very special to me. If you’re up for it, would you like to go somewhere nice for French cuisine next time, without sex, and just take our time?” Then I’d make it a dinner-only date. → 1 for dinner only + 2 for the meal That keeps the first month within ¥160,000. From the second month onward, I could continue seeing the same woman with “adult relationship (intimate) 5 × 2 dates + dinner only 1 date.” Or I could do “adult relationship (intimate) 5 × 1 date + dinner only 2 dates,” build up some spare funds to carry over, and try making a new offer about once every three months to rotate the women I’m seeing. That sounds like it could be fun in its own way… (laughs)

I’m a male member based in Seattle. If you find just one woman you really like among the Standard or Gold members, and she turns out to be a good person, you may end up just as satisfied. After all, even if you have the money, you can’t spend it without the time.
