A man I previously met here asked what my terms would be for an adult relationship. I found it hard to bring up myself, so I asked what he had in mind, and he said the most he could offer was ¥30,000. He wouldn’t pay any more, so if ¥30,000 wasn’t acceptable, there was nothing he could do.

I’m BB7, a male member. I think you’ll understand once you meet different men. Some men may be a 5, others a 7, and some might be a 3. In short, everyone has different attitudes toward money and different values. There’s no absolute standard.

I’m Aya, a female member. I think it’s more or less as Maezawa-san says. Men’s financial circumstances vary quite a bit. Some only want to pay ¥30,000 each time, while others are willing to pay ¥100,000 or more. A man who pays ¥30,000 almost never suddenly starts paying ¥100,000 depending on the woman. He’s simply a ¥30,000 man. In other words, the amount a man pays reflects the price he has put on satisfying his own desires, rather than the woman’s worth.

I’m Flag Maker, a columnist. Every male member has a different approach. I prefer to decide after intimacy, so I’ll meet her a few times initially at the amount she asks for. In this case, the male member simply offered 30,000 yen. That’s all. It’s better not to read more into it than that.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here, and I’ll answer too. > He told me that if 30,000 yen was too much, then there was nothing he could do. Exactly—if it’s not possible, then it’s not possible. That’s how this world works. More than the actual amount, I think that attitude is important. You may wonder why, but there are men who lecture you. Saying things like, “If you’re worth more than that, prove it,” makes no sense. Naturally, an arrangement only begins when the amount the man can offer matches the amount the woman wants. > Does this mean my value is 30,000 yen? I think so. > If I had been cuter, would he have offered more? This is a difficult point. Some people set their offer at 30,000 yen, but whether they’ll agree to 50,000 yen when the other person asks for it may depend on the woman. So when he says he can’t offer more than 30,000 yen, it’s highly possible that he simply can’t offer you more than that. Another possibility is that he has decided to spend up to 90,000 yen per month and wants to meet three times, which would make it 30,000 yen per meeting. In that case, if he liked someone more, he might arrange to meet her twice a month for 50,000 yen each time. You can’t make a blanket judgment about this. Some people have money but still set the amount at 30,000 yen, while others may offer 70,000 yen because they really want to be with someone, even if they don’t have much money. Since he has paid the setting fee and annual membership fee and still chosen to remain a member, I think setting 30,000 yen as his limit may be based on a variety of factors. If you don’t like it, you can simply decline. For your own peace of mind, it may be better to think of him as a man who doesn’t have much money.

You wrote yourself that the amount the man can pay is 30,000 yen. This is about that man’s financial situation, isn’t it? Marika

I’m Kazu, a male member. No, I think it means that this man values an adult relationship (intimate) at ¥30,000. In other words, it’s more likely that he has simply decided on ¥30,000 regardless of who he’s meeting. Of course, if she were a TV personality or someone he absolutely wanted to be intimate with, he might offer more. I think men pay more when they feel they may never get another chance to negotiate with a woman like that.
