Is a pay-per-meeting, dinner-only arrangement (no sex) an unwelcome offer for women who want to earn money?

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. In the past, I saw a woman more than 200 times a year for several years, paying an average of about ¥15,000 per pay-per-meeting visit, including transportation. We don’t see each other anymore, but even now, if I reach out, she’s happy to come meet me. I also gave her gifts in the beginning and from time to time. If pay-per-meeting, no-intimacy arrangements don’t work for both people, they’re simply a waste of time for everyone. On the other hand, when the purpose is mutually fulfilled, the biggest advantage is that you can meet very frequently—almost every day. Neither side feels burdened: the man doesn’t have to worry about the cost or guilt, and the woman doesn’t have to worry about her body or a large allowance. Another advantage for the man is that he can maintain the stronger, more advantageous position. The woman is very unlikely to be the one to end things. Even if my wife found out, there’s no physical relationship, so I could stand my ground. She also wouldn’t joke about coming to meet my wife. Even if the arrangement continues for a long time, there’s little burden or worry. Even women who are Type C can’t be intimate every time they meet. So, for around ¥15,000–¥23,000, some are happier meeting more often as long as the relationship is comfortable and natural.

I’m Date ◎ Yume, a male member. I don’t think it would be a case of someone’s kindness being unwelcome. With Universe, there are different relationship types, so as long as you date in a way that matches the selected type, I don’t think it would be considered an unwelcome favor.

I’m Saito, a column writer ♪ I assume this is a question from a man. If you’re worried, why not give her 20,000 or 50,000 yen for dinner? Or, if she’s willing to spend time with you, I don’t think there’s any problem.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. If by women who want to earn money you mean women in dating types C or D, some may feel that their time is being wasted. But if she’s looking for a dinner-only arrangement from the start, then your goals are aligned, so I think she’d be very welcome. That’s why Universe has Dating Type A. Since women in Dating Type A are looking for the same thing, I think they’d be happy even with 10,000 yen for dinner.

I’m a male member, Seattle. Women in Type A are probably looking to do this kind of arrangement frequently. Compared with a regular part-time job, the hourly rate may be pretty good. It’s kind of like personally hiring someone as a hostess-club companion, isn’t it? Still, it’s not easy to earn 15,000 yen or more unless she’s quite attractive. She can always say no if she doesn’t want to, so I don’t see anything wrong with asking. I occasionally ask Type A women for a 10,000-yen arrangement myself. If you mean asking someone Type B or above, try putting it politely, like, “It would tie up some of your time, but if you happen to have a day free, would you be interested?” She might accept if she’s on her period or something. It really depends on the woman.
