This is Saito, the columnist♪
Thank you again for your reply.
Based on our previous exchange—
“Usually 200,000–300,000 yen, but for someone with special circumstances, I’d accept 100,000 yen,”
—I interpreted it like this:
“I’ve experienced arrangements in the 200,000–300,000 yen range before, but that’s in the past. It’s hard to find someone like that these days, and realistically, given my level, I guess 100,000 yen is more reasonable.
Ideally, I’d like to set my level at 300,000 yen, but I don’t have the money, so if you’re a particularly good person, I’m willing to settle for 100,000 yen.”
Or:
“I currently have a papa paying me 200,000–300,000 yen, but I don’t know how long that will continue, and I’d like to have one more.
If I accepted less, I’d feel bad toward my current papa, but I do want the money. If it’s up to 100,000 yen, I suppose I could put up with it for you.”
That’s how I interpreted it.
If there’s room to negotiate around 100,000 yen, why not enjoy a date at that rate and then decide afterward?
As an aside, this is ultimately a matter of free romance.
A pay-per-meeting allowance of 200,000–300,000 yen is also a common aspiration among women.
Just as men want to increase their annual income, women want their own value to be highly regarded as well.
I know women who receive over 10 million yen, and I also come across women receiving around 2–3 million yen from time to time.
Likewise, when it comes to men, even if you ask whether someone with an annual income of 100 million yen is successful, there are male members with 1 billion or even 10 billion yen at their disposal.
I think it’s fine to approach this with the understanding that the possibility is not zero.
Whether your income is high or low, if you know how to enjoy life, you can make the people around you happy as well.
The woman in question is also intimate with other men—her boyfriends—without receiving any money.
Also, this is strictly free romance. Women aren’t ranked or compared in any official way, especially models.
It’s perfectly normal for a famous actress who appears on major TV networks to receive less, while a model who is only somewhat famous but has lots of Instagram followers receives more.
You won’t understand the going rates without experiencing it yourself.
You’re wondering whether to open that door, but your sense of the market won’t change unless you actually spend some money.
It’ll be good motivation for you to work harder at your own job(笑)
