What does "transportation expenses" mean for a first date? When and how should I give it to them?

A. As a thank you for the initial meeting date, the man should give the woman cash on the day of the date.

  • definition: This is a small token of appreciation given to the woman during the initial meeting (tea or meal) date.
  • Amount: The amount will be the amount set in the woman's profile at the time the date request was made (confirmed).
  • How to hand it over: On the day of the date, please give it directly to the woman when you meet.

【important point】 If you hit it off on the date and your relationship develops from there, please discuss and agree together that this transportation cost will be included in any subsequent "allowances."

Q. Is it okay to negotiate a reduction in transportation costs with the woman in a pre-meeting message?

A. This is not a violation of the terms of service, but it is not recommended.

Women set their desired amount within a maximum of 2 yen. While it's not prohibited to discuss reducing the amount via message, it's not recommended as it's often difficult to get the woman to understand and you're likely to be rejected.

[Regarding Manners] If persistent negotiations result in a woman reporting the behavior as "harassment," PATOLO Support will have no choice but to take action, such as issuing a warning. We ask for your consideration so as not to make the woman feel uncomfortable.

Q. I didn't receive reimbursement for transportation costs on the day of the date. / I would like to increase the amount beyond the agreed-upon amount.

A. Please report any non-payment within 72 hours. Requests for increased payment on the same day are prohibited.

[Rules on the amount you can receive]

  • Timing of the amount confirmation: The amount set when you "requested a date" will apply. Even if you change your profile settings after requesting a date, the transportation costs for confirmed dates will not change.
  • Prohibition of requests for increased amounts: On the day of the event, it is prohibited to request a price higher than the agreed-upon amount.

[How to deal with non-payment issues] In the unlikely event that you are not reimbursed for your transportation expenses, please report it within 72 hours of the date.

  • Reporting procedure: Message screen with the other party > Gear icon in the upper right corner > Report
  • please note: We are unable to respond to reports submitted more than 72 hours after the incident, as it is difficult to verify the facts.

Q. What happens if I change the settings for transportation expenses?

A. You can change it from your My Page, but frequent changes may lead to a decrease in offers.

  • Setting method: You can change this from "Edit Profile" on your My Page. (You cannot show different amounts to specific men.)
  • Impact on the offer: Transportation costs are an important factor (offer criteria) for men. Be careful not to change them too frequently or raise them during message exchanges, as this can create distrust and cause them to withdraw their offer.
