Why are there men on Universe offering allowances like those in transactional relationships?
This content is machine-translated.
I always thought dating clubs were only for wealthy people, but I keep seeing questions about allowances of 15,000 or 30,000 yen. Don’t they make a list of those stingy male members?
Women are constantly being evaluated, but there’s no rating system for male members. I wish they would create one.
I’m BB7, a male member.
With COVID likely causing an economic downturn, money may become more valuable.
We could probably make all kinds of lists: stingy supporters, rich men, extremely perverted weirdos, people with diseases, god-tier supporters, and so on.
Whenever the topic of low allowances comes up, all kinds of questions get posted every time. But if you don’t like the offer, you can simply say, “That’s too little for me—I can’t do it,” and turn it down.

As Papuwa-san wrote earlier, answering “25” seems best. If it’s a woman asking, that’s the only answer you can really give. If it’s a man, maybe 35 would be better.
There seems to be an unspoken rule that both men and women should give an age about 10–15 years younger than their actual age, so saying you’re just 4–5 years younger would still be pretty rude. It’s probably better to say, “I don’t know.”
When talking to a woman, I could never bring myself to say 40 or 35.
Women never seem to age past 27, after all.
For men, 37 seems like the best answer. Saying 38 doesn’t feel quite as good.
A 27-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man might work well: people older than them would see them as young, while people younger than them would see them as mature and dependable.

I agree with Basil’s opinion.
In addition:
> I always thought dating clubs were something only wealthy people took part in, but people on the question box talk about allowances of 1.5 or 3. Don’t those male members make a list of cheap people?
Allowances settle at what economics calls the equilibrium point.
When you put a value on something, it settles at the point where the people exchanging that value can reach an agreement.
I don’t think it’s really a matter of whether someone is cheap or not.

There are ratings for men, too. Feedback counts as ratings, so please send us lots of feedback.
I believe there’s a submission form on the member page.
> Don’t they make a list of those male members who are stingy?
We can’t know how much allowance a man gives women unless the women leave feedback.
If every woman leaves feedback, we may eventually be able to create that kind of list, even though one doesn’t exist right now.
There isn’t a specific field for allowance, but you’re free to write something like, “This man gave me ¥___.” It might be a good idea to include that information in your feedback every time.

I’ve said something similar elsewhere, but from a woman’s perspective, I agree that it no longer feels like simply a pastime for a small number of wealthy men.
A “cheapskate list”?
It could work if women also paid a registration fee and had to pay a setting fee to make reverse offers. However, as long as the club is supported by the fees paid by men under the current system, if the men found out, there’d be an absolute storm of complaints and cancellations—not merely women learning what class they belong to.
It could even seriously undermine the club’s financial foundation.
Rather than criticizing the system, it would be more purposeful and worthwhile to work on yourself and figure out how to land better terms.

I’m Marika, a female member.
I’d like to add this to Papuwa-san’s answer:
⑤ The delusional type who thinks, “We like each other this much, so bringing money into it would be tacky, right!?”
Seriously, though, depending on the class, the Universe membership and annual fees are actually quite affordable, so even people with ordinary incomes—not just the wealthy—can join.
That’s why I think there are quite a few people who want to have fun without spending too much. On the other hand, thanks to that, papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) has become more widespread—not limited to a handful of wealthy men and beautiful women—and both men and women can take part without feeling that the barrier to entry is too high.
Making a list of cheapskates would probably be difficult, so I suppose all we can do is share feedback with one another. It may not be reflected in their profiles or passed on to women by the staff, though.
It would be nice to have something like an “allowance satisfaction” rating, alongside the five-star “personal hygiene and appearance” rating!

LOL…(*^^*)
If something like that existed, I bet there’d be tons of men who’d be worried about getting rejected.
Well, I’m sure Universe wouldn’t do anything that inconvenient for them, though (^_^;)
P.S.
> Captain
I’d like to give you a perfect five stars.
> Marika
An allowance satisfaction rating would be nice too!
> Sozetsu
I think the crown icon would definitely get the guys more excited and make them happy (*^^*)
