I’m a male member.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. Whether or not we go to a hotel, I try to give her ¥100,000 a month. Lately, she’s been charging transportation expenses twice, so it’s been going over that amount... lol We started out agreeing that a pay-per-meeting arrangement would be best, but for her, it works out to a fixed monthly amount. Well, I’m a regional member and only seeing one woman, so...

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. 100,000 yen per time, and when you add everything up, it comes to around 500,000 yen a month, I guess... Just kidding—sorry. I was trying to show off. (lol) And even after showing off, my amount is still less than the other respondents’... (lol) I wonder if the questioner also just wanted to know whether they’re spending more or less than other people. Though I’m not sure what good knowing that would do.

My daughter complains, “Aren’t we poor?” while my wife kicks me out saying, “Unemployed! You’re just dead weight sitting around the house! Get a job!” I’m greedy despite being broke, and I’m barely keeping my head above water—nearly at the point of fleeing in the middle of the night… I’m Paper Airplane, a male member who’s so broke that lately I’ve been perfectly satisfied, with a 100% offer satisfaction rate (excluding distant locations). I’ve convinced myself that the feelings are mutual, so my ongoing relationship rate is also 100%, and I’m gradually reaching the point where I hardly need any more offers. I’m cheap, so I feel that spending 20,000–100,000 yen on setting fees would be a waste. I’d rather pass as much of that money as possible on to the women I’m seeing. At this point, I’m thinking I don’t really need any more offers. I’m wondering whether simply continuing with the women who have told me I’m “wonderful,” along with referrals, would be enough. So I probably won’t be making any new offers for a while. With my ongoing partners, the total usually comes to around 60,000–80,000 yen when there’s an adult relationship, including the allowance; around 20,000–30,000 yen for dinner only (no intimacy); and occasionally an additional 20,000–80,000 yen when shopping is involved. Depending on the woman, there may also be a little extra out of goodwill. Sometimes I simply help with a woman’s problems or consultations, assist with a move, or help her look for a place, in which case I only cover meals or drinks and give no allowance—so it may be as little as 5,000–10,000 yen. Lately I’ve also been cutting back on dates, so I’d say I see them around 12–18 times a month. Since I’m spending longer periods of time with each woman, I don’t need to go on two dates in one day anymore. It feels like I’m seeing them steadily and consistently, with a good balance.

I’m Tetsu, a male member. Isn’t it around ¥100,000 per meeting on average? It varies each time, though. I wonder if an offhand answer like this is really helpful.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist. I currently make around ¥100,000–¥150,000 a month. I’m also able to keep things low-key, so I hope this gives you a useful point of reference.

I’m Kazu, another male member who uses Uber. First date: ¥30,000–¥100,000 setting fee + ¥10,000 transportation allowance + ¥20,000–¥30,000 for the restaurant + ¥0 or ¥50,000 allowance + ¥0 or ¥20,000 for the hotel + occasionally ¥10,000 for a taxi + ¥50,000 in transportation and extra fees if it’s a long distance = ¥60,000–¥270,000 From the second date onward: ¥10,000 or ¥50,000 allowance + ¥0 or ¥20,000 for the hotel + ¥20,000–¥40,000 for meals + occasionally ¥10,000–¥20,000 for a taxi + ¥50,000 in transportation and extra fees if it’s a long distance = ¥30,000–¥180,000 I usually don’t give presents worth more than ¥10,000, so I’ll leave those out of the calculation. I’d say I spend around ¥1.5–¥2 million a month. That’s about what I used to spend when I was playing around in Ginza fairly regularly. I joined the club in July, so I’ve only spent around ¥4 million this year so far. At this rate, it looks like I’ll spend around ¥20 million a year, but it’s not realistic to keep mining more than ¥2 million a month from the financial markets consistently. Plus, my personal life has become quite fulfilling, so I’ll probably slow down in a few months.
