I can only spend around 1.5 million yen a year on dating. Is it impossible to have a satisfying relationship with a black- or platinum-tier woman on that budget?

This is Saito, your vulgar columnist ♪ It’s totally possible if you keep each date and allowance under ¥100,000 and meet once a month. That said, this only works if you can be satisfied with a little fun once a month… Platinum members get a lot of offers, and some women take a pretty assertive attitude, so some men say Black is the hidden gem. And once you go a little farther from the city, there are still plenty of genuinely sweet women. Some women even say they don’t need money. Money is definitely the main factor, but if you can offer something more valuable than money, the amount itself stops mattering. I feel the key is how indispensable you can become to her. Relationships with women are bottomless, after all. Setting a budget in advance is probably the smart thing to do.
