I’m a former member. The first male member I met after joining the club (A, from here on) took a liking to me and asked, “I want you to see only one person—me.” The allowance A offered was also exactly what I was hoping for, so I agreed to his request.
However, since I received several offers all at once when I registered, I did meet some of the other men as well. But those meetings were dinner only (no intimacy), and I didn’t exchange contact information with them. I left the club after about a month, and afterward I saw only A, around four times.
We had shared hobbies, and he told me we were physically compatible, so I thought things were going well without any problems… But after the fourth meeting, he suddenly started contacting me less. When I asked if we could meet, he told me, “Your allowance is too high, so I can’t keep taking care of you,” and blocked me a few days later. (For reference, it wasn’t much different from the going rates I often see discussed here.)
Leaving aside the fact that I don’t know the real reason, is this kind of thing normal?
Also, I had the club process my withdrawal request without giving them a reason. Would it be too cheeky to ask to register again?

Since you weren’t forcibly banned, I don’t see any problem with registering again. If you feel guilty about leaving without saying anything, just make sure to explain your reasons properly the next time you leave.
As for the “I want you to see only me” issue—it happens all the time (lol). It’s basically a scam.
“We have the same interests,” “We’re physically compatible”… Don’t take everything men say at face value. If a man wants to enjoy an adult relationship (intimate), he’ll say whatever makes a woman feel good.
For all you know, A may have told that to three or so other women as well. It’s best to assume that’s the kind of thing that was going on.

> Is this kind of thing normal?
If you ask whether it’s normal or not, I’d say it generally isn’t. However, dating clubs are always fighting an “invisible enemy.” Perhaps a woman who seemed like a better match than you came along.
If money weren’t involved, I think the relationship would continue as long as the “reservation fee” from the man’s perspective(笑)was an amount he was comfortable with. But maybe that wasn’t the case this time.
In that sense, I suppose this is fairly common at dating clubs. And it’s not limited to men—women experience the same thing.
You’ve learned a valuable lesson.
This relationship probably taught you just how difficult it is to maintain a regular arrangement at fixed intervals through a dating club. Let’s take what you’ve learned from this experience and move forward.
I believe you can register again, so try contacting the branch where you were previously registered.

Thank you for your question.

> Is this kind of thing normal?
It seems pretty normal to me.
Some men want a distant, unattainable beauty, but once they actually have her, they suddenly lose interest.
That said, four dates does seem far too few.
You seem like the type who could end up losing out unless you get better at judging men.
Going forward, you could tell a man, “You’re the only one for me,” while discreetly continuing to see other men without letting him find out.
Once you become more experienced, it may be better to let him sense that there are other men in the picture and skillfully stir up his jealousy—guiding him toward thinking, “I’m paying you better than they are, right?”
> When I first registered, I received offers all at once, so I met with some of the other men as well, but kept it to dinner only and didn’t exchange contact information.
That’s such a waste…
You should have exchanged contact information and at least stayed loosely in touch.
There are plenty of women who never receive any offers, so it’s a shame not to make the most of them.
> I asked the club to process my withdrawal without giving a reason. Would it be too much to ask to register again?
If you properly told them that you wanted to withdraw, even without giving a reason, there shouldn’t be a problem.
I think you should be able to register again normally. And if you were popular enough to receive a flood of offers right after registering, I’m sure they’d be happy to have you back. (Laughs)

(One-line questions can be amusing in their own way, but they sometimes make me feel like I’m being toyed with, so I appreciate normal questions like this.)
The allowance is usually discussed before intimacy, so I don’t think it’s unusual for someone’s feelings to change afterward or as the arrangement continues.
(I do think it’s rude to later say that the allowance you offered was too high, but) I believe what he meant was that, after their fourth date, he felt the relationship wasn’t going to turn out the way he had envisioned.
Women re-registering isn’t uncommon, so I don’t think you’re being overly opportunistic. It’s perfectly normal.
