I’m the person who asked about the transportation allowance for the first meeting and the income distribution.

I only wanted the amounts between 5,000 and 10,000 yen to follow a log-normal distribution, so the difference in 1,000-yen increments has no particular significance. I took the answers to mean that this was to avoid being seen as stingy (though some people may see it that way anyway), or because both parties are happy with a lower amount. I’m sorry I didn’t thank each of you individually. As a general conclusion, I’ll just say that it’s cool for a man to quietly round to the nearest whole number. I always find Maezawa-san’s answers detailed and interesting to read. However, this time, minority and majority opinions were mixed together with whether the money was transportation reimbursement, a gratuity, or an hourly wage including working from home, so I couldn’t tell whether the 5,000-yen difference was considered meaningless or meaningful as a unit price. I think both interpretations are valid since it depends on the person, but shouldn’t the club take the same position—that a range of 5,000 to 10,000 yen depends on the individual? With that understanding, I think it would also be fine to make similar comments, such as not hearing about men having to rush to a convenience store to break a bill. The types of scams and forgotten payments you pointed out may each have their pros and cons, but as you said, if that is what happens in most cases, I feel the men could simply be left to decide without being guided. Also, as I was writing this, I realized that if the relationship is going to continue for a long time, starting at 5,000 yen would amount to the same margin of error anyway. I understand that this isn’t something to fixate on. I also never said what I personally would do.
