I’d like to hear your opinions and experiences regarding something like a “thank-you gift” or “parting gift” when ending things with a woman.
At the moment, I’m seeing several women on an ongoing basis. Of course, I give each of them an allowance—¥50,000–¥80,000 per meeting, depending on the woman—but I genuinely feel grateful that they’re willing to spend time with a guy older than their own fathers.
It’s still some way off, but if we were to continue having a good relationship for, say, three or five years, and one of them decided to quit papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) because she was getting married or for some other reason, I’ve been vaguely wondering whether I should give her something like ¥1–3 million as a thank-you or parting gift.
I can’t afford to do anything particularly extravagant, but I’m considering this for two of the women I’m currently seeing—not for everyone.
If you have any opinions or personal experiences regarding this kind of thank-you or parting gift when a papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) relationship ends amicably because the woman is getting married or for another reason, I’d be grateful to hear them.
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer this as well.
Thanks for your question.
Since gold bars came up, pure gold does seem like a good option.
However, I looked into it, and apparently the next size up from 100 g is 500 g. At today’s gold prices, a 500 g bar costs ¥3,459,500, which is over budget.
On the other hand, 100 g (¥700,150) feels a little too small and may not have much impact, so I’m torn.
Around 2004, gold was about ¥1,550 per gram, so even a 500 g bar would have cost ¥775,000…

Since we’re likely to die first anyway, why not use something like, “If you found out you only had a short time left to live, how would you want to leave your assets behind?” as an opening to ask them directly?
Once you have an opening, they may surprisingly be willing to speak honestly.

I’m a male member, and my username is Paper Airplane.
In that case, you could just give her 100–300 upfront.
That way, she can leave whenever she wants.
It’s probably harder for her to accept it afterward, right? Let her enjoy the benefits upfront.

Transfers of ¥1.1 million or more between bank accounts may be subject to gift tax, and if anything comes up, it could leave a paper trail and create a real headache. On the other hand, handing over cash feels risky too.
So wouldn’t it be safest to give something that’s easy to convert into cash?
Strictly speaking, though, that’s not allowed either (^_^;)
Personally, I don’t think questions like this should be posted publicly.

Whether to give someone a gift for a celebration or as a parting gesture is a personal decision on the giver’s part, and I don’t think it’s something other people should weigh in on. Just because everyone else is giving a parting gift doesn’t mean you have to as well. If you want to give one, then go ahead.
