Are there many men who only give ¥5,000 for transportation on the first date?
This content is machine-translated.
I've met nearly 30 men so far, and today was the first time I was given ¥5,000. He seemed to be a genuinely ordinary salaryman, and I was apparently the first woman he'd ever met as well. The club says the standard is ¥5,000–¥10,000, but I was surprised that men who really give just ¥5,000 actually exist. If I simply wasn't his type, that would be one thing, but he repeatedly told me I was "truly beautiful," and this is what I got. It's also my first time being approached by an ordinary salaryman, so I find it strange that an ordinary salaryman would register at Platinum or above.
Have you ever given or received ¥5,000 for transportation on the first date at Platinum level or above?
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here, answering as well.
> Are there many men who only give 5,000 yen for transportation at the beginning of a date?
In Kanto—or rather, in eastern Japan—I don’t think there are many.
That said, I’ve written here several times that most men give 10,000 yen, and I hear that each time, I get complaints from men in western Japan. So perhaps there are more men in Kansai and other areas who don’t want to give 10,000 yen.
I do wonder, “Why be stingy over that?”
But if it works for them, then I suppose that’s fine. It does make me realize how different people’s attitudes can be depending on the region.
Still, complaints… really? (lol)

I’m Dai, a male member.
I’ve been a Gold, Platinum, and Black member, and during the early days of my involvement, I did give an allowance of 5,000 yen a few times.
I came to feel that there wasn’t much difference between giving 5,000 or 10,000 yen, and that things went more smoothly that way, so lately I’ve been giving 10,000 yen.

That’s probably on the low side. I think anything under 1 is low, too.
Since I prioritize feeling comfortable with the woman over an adult relationship (intimate), I’ve always paid more than 1. On the other hand, I think my allowance for an adult relationship is relatively low.

You’ve said “ordinary office worker” way too many times—yeah, I’m a super ordinary office worker, lol.
It’s not that ordinary office workers only give ¥5,000. It’s just that the person who gives ¥5,000 happened to be an ordinary office worker.
Because I’m an ordinary office worker too, but I still give ¥①.

You already know the answer, since you said, “I’ve met nearly 30 men so far, and today was the first time I was given ¥5,000.” I think that’s pretty uncommon.
As for me, there have only been one or two women I felt inclined to give ¥5,000 to. Other than that, I’ve always given ¥10,000.

I’m Mac, a male member.
Whether she’s Platinum or Black, I pay ¥5,000 for a first meeting only. That said, I absolutely won’t keep her for more than an hour.
Maybe it depends on how long you’re expected to stay?
P.S. I’m not what you’d call an “ordinary salaryman.” I’m the owner of a craftsman-type business, so I only pay for the time and service provided. I have no interest in paying for something like “beauty.” Maybe it depends on the industry, too?
