I’m the person who recently asked about seeing someone without an allowance.

My name is Kurosaki, and I’m the chief at the Osaka branch of Universe Club. Assuming it was a genuine business card, the fact that he gave it to you when you first met probably means either that he trusts you (or trusts Universe Club), or that he wants you to trust him. I don’t think you need to view the business card negatively♪

I’m Tetsu, a male club member. People tend to assume that meeting someone through a club automatically means receiving an allowance. But if you find more value in talking with this man than in receiving an allowance, I think that’s perfectly fine too. Here are my thoughts after reading your question. You’ve already met this man three times. I’m sure you’ve had various conversations, and he even gave you his business card. Yet you’re still asking questions like this. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that, even after meeting him three times, you still don’t trust him. There are countless people working in fields that require sophisticated risk management who don’t actually understand risk at all. Even so, they’re treated as capable professionals who can manage risks and are paid accordingly. In other words, they’re getting paid while creating the illusion that simply having an impressive title means they’re good at their jobs. Japanese people do love titles, after all（笑） Oh, and a business card handed out outside of work is just a piece of paper. There’s no way to verify whether it’s genuine. I don’t know whether this man is actually competent at his job or whether the business card really belongs to him. But since you’ve met him three times, you should at least be able to judge the situation more accurately than the people answering this question. You mentioned sophisticated risk management. You need to apply that to yourself.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer as well. > Next time, I’m thinking of being with him once as a keepsake, then wrapping things up quickly. That’s kind of you. As the other respondents have said, he may have lied about his profession. But there’s also a chance he hasn’t, so I think it would be nice to give him a “You Tried Your Best” award. I hope you’ll be with him once as a keepsake. If he gives you a proper allowance that time, then he may simply be someone who’s bad at communicating, and the relationship might unexpectedly continue afterward. That said, the odds seem pretty low. > When you meet a woman for the first time, do you usually hand her your business card yourself? I don’t think people normally do that, but if it can be used as leverage, I imagine they’ll make use of it. He knows that being in a position close to authority can be an advantage, so he’s simply using the cards he has. For example, if that authority could provide some other benefit even without an allowance, there may be women who would be okay with receiving no allowance. If so, even after being with him once as a keepsake, it might be worth staying in touch or continuing to meet for dinner only (no intimacy), so you can make use of those benefits. Though he may also be the type who looks for another woman after being with someone once.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. Have you received his business card and verified his identity? If not, then…??? I suppose? I don’t hand over my business card right away. After meeting several times, you gradually get to know each other through your conversations. A business card may not even be necessary.

Seattle. Maybe he’s a politician, company president, or clinic director. I’m curious to see how it turns out, so part of me wants you to go—after making sure you have an escape route in case you need to run—and then come back and tell us what happened. In my case, I sometimes give them my business card around the second meeting. Though I’m basically unemployed, so nothing comes up if they search for me. It’s a worthless business card.
