How attractive does a woman need to be for compensated dating?
This content is machine-translated.
If I’m not very attractive, should I give up on papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?
If I pass the interview, show my face, and still get zero offers, wouldn’t that be worse than pointless?
Please be honest, even if the answer is harsh.
I’m Dai, a male member.
I think some women just have faces that appeal to everyone.
Quite often, when I inquire because I think, “She probably gets a lot of offers,” that turns out to be exactly the case.
That said, it’s not all about looks, so you won’t have any chance unless you register in the first place.
If you feel the risks outweigh the benefits, though, I don’t think you should force yourself to register.
Registering with your photo blurred, while accepting that you’ll receive fewer offers, is another option.

I’m Maezawa from Shachoshitsu, and I’ll answer this as well.
Even mock exam scores can vary depending on which company administers the test, even when many people take it, so I don’t think it’s really possible to assign a “facial attractiveness score.”
For one thing, people’s preferences vary quite a bit.
If you asked different men to rank the women who placed first through tenth in something like a Miss ___ contest, I’m sure the results would differ considerably from the actual rankings.
It’s rare for everyone to want the same woman. Even when interest seems concentrated, in a world where around 20 out of 4,000 men make offers during the month someone registers, that alone is considered concentrated popularity.
Of course, there are women whose appearance makes men want to send an offer, but I feel there’s something on another level that can’t be reduced to a score.
If you’re worried, why not try registering with a blurred photo? You’ll get fewer offers, but I don’t think registering would put you at a disadvantage.

I’m neither cute nor beautiful.
I was told I had a nice vibe.
What people find attractive differs from person to person.
I also had a blurred photo when I first signed up.

I’m Aya, a female member.
If there’s such a thing as a facial attractiveness score, I’d say anyone scoring 55 or above is sure to get offers.
You don’t have to be stunningly beautiful—like an 8-out-of-10 beauty. If you have other appealing qualities, such as your education, career, or the way you carry yourself, you’ll likely receive offers.
By the way, I was a secret member, so I didn’t show my face.

If you’re asking whether looks are “necessary,” I don’t think being attractive is an essential requirement. Even someone with an appearance偏差値 of 40 could probably receive offers if she has something else going for her.
Men’s preferences in appearance really vary. For example, I don’t like women with bangs, so from my perspective, having bangs would lower her appearance score by about 5–10 points.
A gummy smile is a complete deal-breaker for me, so that would lower the score by around 20 points.
On the other hand, there are also times when I find a woman beautiful because of something other people might not notice. So preferences really do differ from person to person.
I think only a minority of men make offers based solely on someone’s face—and even then, everyone has different tastes.

People like Kei Yamazaki and Hikorohero somehow seem around average in terms of academic standing, but they seem like the type who’d be popular because of their appeal beyond just their looks.
Your face may shape the first impression, but you can make up for it in all sorts of ways with other qualities.
By the way, I’m registered with my face blurred.
