I sometimes see profiles of women registered as Type A saying, “I’m looking for ¥100,000 a month in support!” But aren’t they supposed to be looking for dinner dates only? From the answers in the Q&A section, I got the impression that most people consider ¥10,000 appropriate for a dinner date. Of course, I understand that some supporters pay more, or that the allowance can increase after meeting several times and their wishes may be fulfilled.

I’m Saito, a column writer ♪ As Maezawa mentioned in his post, I get the feeling that it might be a monthly expectation rather than an amount for each meeting… I wonder what the actual situation is. I do sometimes give women anywhere from ¥20,000 to ¥150,000 for a meal, but since I decide the amount on my own, it’s hard to explain clearly. However, if someone says, “So, if I have dinner with you, you’ll give me ¥150,000, right?” I would answer, “No, that’s not how it works.” At the same time, I can’t help wondering which other woman she’s comparing herself to.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from the CEO’s office as well. > I got the impression that many answers in the Q&A box said the allowance for a dinner date is ¥10,000. I think they were referring to the transportation fee under the club’s rules. As for private dating after dinner, we leave it up to the two of you to discuss and decide. Even if “private dating” simply means going out for drinks together afterward, you still need to discuss the allowance. Normally, you would talk about the allowance for dates from the second meeting onward. So if the woman says she would like a little more, and the man agrees because he likes her, there may be women who receive a higher allowance even for a single date. That’s really between the two people. Also, when it’s dinner only, I don’t often hear how much allowance they agreed on, so I have no idea what amount people generally set. Still, if ¥10,000 was the most common figure in the answers, then perhaps that is the case. > What concerns me is whether the staff member who interviewed her would say something if she were Type A, such as, “That level of support is probably unrealistic.” I believe this was explained when you joined, but the allowance for private dating is decided between the two people, and the club does not get involved. So regardless of how much the woman hopes to receive, we basically don’t say anything. If the two of them are satisfied with the arrangement, I don’t think there’s any reason for the club to comment. > I occasionally see women write, “I’m looking for ¥100,000 a month in support,” even though they’re supposedly only looking for dinner dates. Even if she received ¥10,000 per date, she could reach her goal of ¥100,000 a month by meeting ten men. When you look at it that way, it doesn’t seem like such an unrealistic figure. I’m actually the kind of person who wants to say something, but from what I’ve seen during interviews, it seems normal not to say anything. For example, even when someone is listed as Type A, they proceed with the interview without saying anything, take lots of photos, and let the woman leave happily— only to reject her afterward because she’s Type A. I find myself thinking, “At Universe, you need to be prepared for that,” or, “This is how dating clubs work, so Type A might be a bit difficult.” Don’t they explain any of that? But perhaps saying nothing is simply the current trend.

I’m a female member, Rin. Setting aside people who openly go in with an entitled attitude like, “I can make money just by having tea,” this is ultimately a matter between the two people involved, so all I can say is that it’s unclear. It’s not something the staff should be held responsible for to that extent, either. That said, it’s also unclear whether there’s anyone who would see that particular woman as being worth ¥100,000 for an adult relationship (intimate). If that bothers you, you can simply avoid her. That’s not an emotion that should be directed at the staff. Once an arrangement begins, some supporters will still give the same allowance even on days when they don’t go to a hotel, or when they only have tea for a few dozen minutes because they’re short on time. Some even come just to see you and give you an allowance without anything happening. Not everything follows a fixed pattern.

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member who gets worked like a servant every night by a girl saying, “Why didn’t you buy me a late-night snack?” I underestimated Type A and paid dearly for it. I feel like they’re going to bleed me completely dry… Type A girls can be so bottomless that you’d think they were obsessed with money. It’s scary… Maybe Type A girls are also more likely not to appreciate the value of money… ¥100,000 is nothing… That ¥100,000 might even mean ¥100,000 or more every month… Who knows how much they’re calculating in their heads… The efforts of Type B girls pretending to be Type A scammers almost seem endearing by comparison…

I’m Itsu-Mii, a male member. The staff probably let her pass the interview because they felt that, even with Dating Type A, she might be worth a monthly allowance of ¥100,000. Don’t underestimate Type A, haha.

I’m Marika, a female member. As Mac said, only the transportation allowance for the first meeting is set. The allowance afterward isn’t fixed, whether it’s dinner or just coffee. Even if the allowance were ¥10,000, you’d be having dinner around 30 times a month, so with four or five papa supporters who only meet you for meals, seeing each of them twice would get you to your target amount. If she’s a cute girl who can register as an A-level member and perhaps works as an unsuccessful idol, she might be able to get around ¥20,000. In that case, she’d only need to meet each person once. I don’t think anyone is saying they expect ¥100,000 from one person after just one or two meals. Though there may be some people who do pay ¥100,000 for a single meeting. No matter what the staff say, she’s free to write whatever she wants, and I think people are equally free to interpret it however they choose.

Since Mac has already answered, I feel comfortable weighing in too. This is Joe—well, formerly Joe, now Achishi. Mac’s answer says it all. From the female members’ perspective, it’s probably “♪ Crows can do whatever they want” (sing along and pray). So whenever you come across a woman like that, just join in with the song above. I think the sense of awkwardness will disappear instantly. By the way, the highest amount I’ve heard of for dinner only (no intimacy) is eight figures. It wasn’t listed in the profile, and it wasn’t one of Joe’s cases—this is purely based on my own research. P.S. Reading Mac’s report reminded me of something too. It was a cricket case. Apparently, there was a man who became aroused watching a cricket released onto a transparent glass table and crushed under someone’s backside. The man supposedly crawled under the table and took care of himself while watching, panting all the while. Are crickets really that stimulating? lol Apparently, the cricket ran around wildly on the tabletop, making things quite difficult.
