Were my expectations at the first meeting let down? Where can I find women who aren’t all about money—beautiful, mature women you wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with? Are they being kept hidden? A secret?

It’s Saito-san♪ > Women who aren’t overly focused on money, are beautiful even with age, and whom you wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with If you find someone like that, there will be competition. If I were a male member, I’d be willing to pay more to have priority with such a woman. Male members are willing to pay to find women they consider valuable. It’s true that you can choose from 7,000 women, but the key point is to realize that, in reality, you’re competing with 2,000 other men. For example, if you expect a woman to treat you the same whether you’re offering ¥30,000 or ¥300,000, that’s like a company president expecting someone earning ¥3 million a year to deliver the same results as someone earning ¥30 million. And if someone is doing ¥30-million-level work for ¥3 million, another company will snatch them up. In that sense, I think it’s much the same. This is just my personal impression, but perhaps because “secret” women don’t receive many offers on a regular basis and are introduced to high-quality members, they tend to treat male members very well. As you suggested, I do think they’re not overly focused on money—but their usual allowance is probably high to begin with.
