I’d like to understand what men are thinking when they ask a woman to accept a lower allowance.
Do they say things like that because they no longer really care whether they see her again?
Some women may start disliking a man if he suddenly asks to reduce the allowance. Do they say it knowing they might be disliked?
Sorry again for asking consecutive questions.
I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
A man who negotiates a lower allowance probably either simply doesn’t have much money to spare or wants to keep costs down, don’t you think?
Honestly, both apply to me, so every now and then I find myself thinking, “Should I try negotiating a lower allowance?”
But if it would put too much strain on my finances, I tell myself I should quit this kind of pastime altogether and hold back. Besides, I’m too afraid of creating an awkward atmosphere to negotiate a reduction ^^;

This is Saito♪, the columnist.
I read Mac’s answer and it made sense to me.
“Depreciation”… the idea that something loses value over time.
I think men like that reduce the allowance because they want to spend money on newer, first-time women.
It’s all about getting the maximum effect with the smallest investment.
And those are exactly the kind of men who love to show off how wealthy they are…
“Sticking with me will benefit you in all sorts of ways.”
And as things evolve, the allowance eventually disappears.

I’m Seattle, a male member.
I’ve never been the one to suggest lowering the allowance.
There have been times when I thought I might meet her if it were a little cheaper, but in the end, I choose not to see her again.
Suggesting a reduced allowance isn’t very classy, so either he didn’t find her worth it, doesn’t care if she dislikes him, or simply doesn’t have the money.
