I’m Taro, a male member. It does seem suspicious, haha. The number of “likes” is unusually high. I think Kazu’s observation is spot-on. (Sorry for playing around with people’s names. I apologize. Bill Gates is to blame for this—his weird auto-conversions gave me the idea. Oh, and thank you for your kind comment the other day.) If the post was linked somewhere and received a lot of traffic from there, the club would know. In that case, I don’t think this club would simply delete it; they’d probably be upfront about the whole thing, including those facts. They don’t just open Pandora’s box—they turn it upside down and shake it until even the very last thing falls out. That’s one of the reasons I like Universe Club. So, Mr. Maezawa, I’m counting on you. Let’s dig up all this sludge and leave it to dry out under the sun. Best regards.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. This is pretty interesting. I can understand why scouts and others would want to say—or get people to say—things like that, since they get kickbacks. I think everything eventually settles out through supply and demand, so people can say whatever they want. But don’t just take the information at face value. It’s interesting to look into it from different angles, including who the source is（笑） As for social media, I hardly ever use it, so I can’t really say much...

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. This discussion seems to be about “zones” and the like, but I believe papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) works because men who can comfortably spend time with women even without an allowance are willing to offer generous allowances, allowing both sides to feel happy. Otherwise, wouldn’t both men and women end up having to put up with things, feeling dissatisfied, or left with unmet desires and a sense of incompleteness? For a while, apparently because of advice from their scouts, several women were all giving the same answer of ¥¥ million… These days, though, the women who gave those answers are ending up with absolutely no offers.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’ve always assumed that quite a few women were also avid readers of this anonymous Q&A box, since questions and answers that seem likely to resonate with some women often get plenty of likes. There was a question claiming that the typical allowance—and even the minimum—was 200,000 yen. But no matter how loudly someone insists here that the going rate is 200,000 yen, it won’t change what they themselves receive. I suspect it may be deceptive marketing aimed at affiliate commissions. For example, an affiliate might show a woman that page and say, “See? Even an ordinary office worker in her late twenties or early thirties with average looks, outside the major cities, gets at least 100,000 yen,” or, “Apparently flight attendants get at least 200,000 yen.” I’ve met quite a few women who joined after affiliates told them they could get 100,000 yen pay-per-meeting, or 400,000–500,000 yen a month just for tea and dinner. I’m sure there are women who receive that kind of allowance, but if you ask me whether it’s the typical range, I’d say there’s no way. I do think women who join after being led to expect that are somewhat naïve—but isn’t it also rather unfortunate for them? That’s why I wrote down what I know about the reality of things in my answer. I wasn’t trying to brag. Although I won’t deny that part of me wanted to tease people with the bit about finishing inside. I did, in fact, finish inside.
