How do you answer the interview question, “How much would you like to make per month?” that appears on your profile?

Maezawa from Shacho-shitsu here. Even when you say it’s a monthly target—for example, that your goal is 200,000 yen—some people will jump to the conclusion that you mean 200,000 yen per meeting and think your sense of money is way off. Others might assume you meet twice a month and figure it means 100,000 yen per meeting. So I feel that stating a monthly target amount is just asking for misunderstandings. That said, if you try to dodge the question by saying, “I’m not really sure,” there seem to be quite a few staff members who will keep pressing you with things like, “You absolutely have to tell me.” For that reason, I think it’s safer to give a lower figure, like the person asking the question did. If they ask you when you meet, “Did you say 50,000 yen a month?” you can just say: “I don’t remember exactly what I said.” You could even say that you meant 50,000 yen pay-per-meeting. There’s no contradiction if you say you thought it would be about once a month. As for men who interpret things however they want, some may assume you meant 50,000 yen per meeting. But that’s just their own speculation, so I don’t think you need to worry about it.

I’m a male member, Basil. I assume they don’t list the pay-per-meeting allowance because doing so could create legal risks. Even a monthly target is useful information. If the frequency is about once a week, I estimate the desired amount per meeting by dividing the monthly target by four, and use that as a reference when making an allowance offer. If the monthly target is 200,000–300,000 yen, I don’t consider that unreasonable, so I make offers without worrying about it. So far, I haven’t encountered many truly unreasonable people in that range. Once, just out of curiosity, I made an offer to a Type C girl whose monthly target was 1 million yen. She said it was her first offer even though she had only been registered for a few months. She didn’t seem overly pushy, so I offered slightly more than usual. But she said she’d get back to me later because she was on her period, and that was the last I heard from her.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’ve never seen anyone state their desired pay-per-meeting allowance. Unlike many other dating clubs, it’s customary at Universe not to specify the allowance. It’s possible that stating a specific amount per meeting could get your profile rejected during screening. Personally, I don’t think asking for ¥200,000 a month is unreasonable, and I appreciate the clarity. However, it seems that relatively few women actually list a specific amount.

Specific amounts like “5 per meeting” will probably be removed when the comment is edited, since they may trigger the prostitution-related filters (I think). Try telling him: “I’m aiming for 15 per month. It’s definitely not 15 per meeting m(｡>__<｡)m” If the staff write that your expectations regarding money may be on the high side, only idiots like me will make you offers, so it might be best to keep your true expectations to yourself. I sometimes see people saying they’re aiming for 100 per month, but even I wouldn’t make them an offer. —A losing guy
