I see—sorry, I hadn’t read this.
How have allowance rates changed at Gold C? Is it because there are surprisingly many competitors, and many women are used to receiving offers?
I’d really like to know more about Gold C.

Personally, I think both sides would be happier if you put it toward the allowance and became “a man women like.”
The woman has more money to work with.
And the man won’t be seen as stingy.
I think it’s best to date someone you can be with within your means.

Even if you try to compete on appearance, there’s only so much you can change about your natural looks without plastic surgery. I think it’s good to pay attention to your clothes and hairstyle, but they probably don’t carry that much weight when it comes to appearance overall.
(That said, there are some rather dapper male members, so perhaps those men do well.)
That doesn’t mean you can let yourself go, though. If you give off an unclean or unkempt impression, it will count against you.

If you’re offering the amount the woman is asking for, I think you’re fine as you are.
If you’re deciding the amount yourself regardless of what she wants, she may be dissatisfied. In that case, the allowance is probably too low.
(There are women who occasionally ask for unreasonable amounts, but that’s unusual. In most cases, they’ll ask for an allowance comparable to what other men are paying.)
If she’s unhappy about something like that, I don’t think you’ll be able to enjoy your time together. So I feel the starting point is offering an allowance that the woman won’t be dissatisfied with.
Once you’ve cleared that hurdle, I think your personality will be what makes you popular.
Even now, there are probably plenty of women you can enjoy spending time with.
