I’m considering upgrading to the Black tier. At this level, would it be possible to be introduced to women who are actresses, models, or aspiring actresses and models? Since the cost is substantial, I’d like to confirm this in advance.

I’m Saito, a dating-club columnist♪ The dating-club market probably has something like standard rates, but the higher you go, the more there is—there’s no end to it. Once you move up to the Black level, you’ll probably start wondering about salons too. You may find yourself curious about all sorts of things, like, “I wonder what other dating clubs are like?” The Platinum class has both higher and lower tiers, so it’s easier to stay disciplined. But at Black and above, there’s an interesting—and difficult—aspect to spending money in ways that don’t always go according to plan. Trying it for a year just to gain that kind of experience can be very educational.

New Member in My 30s I understand why you’re hesitant about Black members. I believe the membership tiers are based on looks plus additional factors such as occupation, so it’s probably true that many Black members are exceptionally attractive women involved in the entertainment industry. That said, as U.S.T. mentioned, when your partner is a Black member, not only are the Black membership fees and annual dues higher, but the allowances for pay-per-meeting or monthly arrangements also tend to be higher. I think it would be best to take that into consideration before deciding.
