Do you think the women on Twitter who claim to earn around ¥1 million a month from dinner only (no intimacy) are telling the truth, or do you think they’re lying?

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. There are several possibilities: ① She’s so beautiful or cute that it wouldn’t be surprising if she were already in show business. For example, some people spend over one million yen buying the same CD just to get a handshake ticket. If a woman has enough appeal to captivate men that devoted, there are plenty of men who would pay a substantial amount just to have dinner with her. However, being able to afford it and actually paying it are two completely different things. They won’t pay unless they feel it’s worth it. Perhaps one woman in a million might genuinely be worth that much to someone. In that case, it could be true. ② It started as an adult relationship, but as they’ve continued seeing each other for a long time, it has gradually become more of a dinner-only relationship. This seems more realistic than①. I think there really are women in that situation. Of course, if the man wanted an adult relationship, she might agree. But perhaps they’ve moved beyond that stage, and because it’s always an option, she may simply think, “Maybe not today.” In that case, since she’s currently receiving a substantial allowance just for dinner, it could indeed be true. ③ I searched for “one million yen,” and most of the results looked like advertisements or perhaps posts from scouts. In that case, since they’re advertisements to begin with, it seems less a question of whether they’re true or false. > If I said “dinner only, 10,000 yen” right in the first message, wouldn’t it sound extremely businesslike? How do you usually bring up the subject of allowance? At Universe Club, unlike dating sites, the rules state that the first meeting is over dinner, and the man must pay the woman 5,000–10,000 yen. There’s no need to negotiate anything up to that point. You’ll receive it simply by enjoying dinner together. Occasionally, a man may give only 5,000 yen, but most men give 10,000 yen. As for seeing each other after that, the two of you need to discuss the terms of the arrangement. However, since you’re talking while having dinner, it should be much easier than trying to work everything out through messages. If you’ve always used dating sites, why not try registering with Universe? You can register even if you only want dinner-only arrangements. However, just like a regular couple, you may have dinner, go on dates, and eventually enter into an adult relationship. Even so, it’s a matter of free choice, so you’re free to decide what you want to do. If the allowance terms don’t work for you, you’re also free to decline after dinner.

I’m BB7, a male member. If you advertise “¥1 million a month for dinner only,” some women will probably take it seriously and jump at the offer. Though I think “¥100,000 a month for dinner only” would sound more believable. Now I understand why phone scams never disappear.

I’m Meg, a female member. > ¥1 million a month for dinner only If someone really managed to make that kind of amazing money, I’d love to meet her at least once♪ …It might not be a lie, but it sounds like bait to me. > ¥10,000 for dinner right from the first message Okay, okay—talk about businesslike. If I were a papa (a male supporter), I’d probably pass, just like Date◎Yume.

I’m Basil, a male member. It may be possible in theory, but in reality, it’s extremely rare—probably one in a hundred, a negligible chance. I only see people through the club, so I don’t know how allowance is usually discussed at the first meeting.

I’m date◎yume, a male member. I think it’s possible, but it would be difficult unless she were someone special, like a celebrity. That said, I don’t think someone like that would post about it on Twitter in the first place. Maybe they heard someone else’s story and posted it on Twitter? As for the allowance, I decide on a total amount. I don’t make distinctions based on whether it’s just dinner or anything like that. If someone approached me with those kinds of terms, I’d have to decline（笑）

I’m Hikoki, a male member. If “dinner only” isn’t included, it has no value at all, so it sounds like a lie, doesn’t it? 10 per month with 10 people: 100 3 per meeting, 30 days a month: 90 Two people a day at 3 each: 180 5 per meeting, 20 times a month: 100 100 once a month: 100 1 per meeting with three people every day: 90 1.5 per meeting with three people every day: 135 Whether it’s true or false, I suppose both cases exist. And who knows whether it’s dinner only or not? Normally, if someone is going to make it public, they probably wouldn’t tell the whole truth. As for the allowance—I'm not good at discussing that, so I’ve hardly ever done it. I’ll pass on that part. P.S. Mr. Romanee, Since you wrote such a passionate post, let me touch briefly on what this would actually look like in real life. As you wrote, meeting 10–30 or even 100 people would be far too demanding and completely impossible. In the past, there was a girl I met about 25 times a month—around 300 times a year—for several years. In theory, it would be possible to have two or three, or even four or five relationships like that. For example: 2 × 25 = 50 3 × 25 = 75 With one or two more people, you could easily reach 100. But if you meet someone that often—or rather, once you have a relationship where you can see each other that frequently—you end up knowing almost every detail of her daily routine. From what time she wakes up, to how long she takes to do her makeup before leaving the house, who she’s usually talking to on the phone while getting ready, what kinds of incidents or problems come up at home, her relationships with female and male friends, who she’s seeing, and even her routine before bed—you become almost like two halves of one person. That leaves very little room for another man to enter the picture. And if there is someone else, the number of meetings would probably be cut in half, or down to about twice a week. Once you become that close, the relationship is comfortable for both sides, with no burden and no need to worry about being considerate all the time. That makes it even harder to find the motivation to start building a new relationship from scratch. And if you’re focused on meeting new people, the relationship probably wouldn’t become that intimate in the first place. Also, to reach that figure, I suppose there would need to be some extra requests. These days, pets can cost more than home appliances or even cars. Even then, though, that would only be a one-off payment, so it would count only for that month. From the man’s perspective, sometimes you like someone enough that each meeting feels like you’re gradually building up a reserve fund, like a repair reserve. In that case, after meeting 300 times, you might receive rewards of around 300 if you set aside 1 each time, 150 if it’s 0.5, or even about 30 if it’s 0.1.
