I feel like I’ve aged since starting papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). Does anyone else feel the same?
This content is machine-translated.
I should have more money and be spending it on beauty treatments, so why is this happening?
I feel like constantly looking at older men’s faces is rubbing off on me—or like they’re sucking the youth out of me.

Since I don’t know what kind of person you are, I can’t say for sure, but I think it may be one of two things:
1. You’re completely worn out from this activity.
2. As Maezawa-san mentioned, you’ve become more conscious of your appearance through this activity than before, but you’re also harder on yourself, which may be making you feel like you’ve aged.
If you’re enjoying the activity, then it’s probably the second one. If you’re feeling stressed and fed up with it, you’re probably just exhausted.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office will answer this one too.
After a year passes, you age by a year. That’s the same whether you’re doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or not.
Since starting papa-katsu, you may simply be paying more attention to your appearance than before. You’re also spending more on beauty and may have expected that to keep you from aging, so perhaps there’s just a gap between that expectation and reality.
Some people do continue to look young, but they’re a very small minority. They may even be the type who would have looked young regardless of whether they spent money on beauty treatments.
I’ve never heard of an aging-looking face being contagious. The idea of absorbing someone else’s youth and becoming young yourself works as a joke, but I don’t think anyone actually believes it happens.
Besides, if there were a way to absorb youth, wealthy people would pay huge sums to do it. You’d expect to see more people with unnatural-looking appearances, but you don’t really see many.
All things considered, I think it’s simply that a year has passed, so you’ve aged by a year. Since you happened to be doing papa-katsu at the time, you may just be linking the two in your mind.

Questioner, maybe you haven’t aged—you’ve just become worn down. Have you been feeling tired?
When you’re tired, your skin loses its firmness and glow. And if you’ve been eating out a lot or consuming too much sugar through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), glycation can make your complexion look dull.

Maybe that’s the case for you.
Judging from your writing, you really give off an old-fashioned vibe.

Yesterday, I was out with my daughters, and I overheard this exchange between my wife and one of them:
Wife: “You and Dad are basically a package deal, right?”
Daughter: “All my friends say Dad is the person they hate most in the world. Is there something wrong with me?”
I wonder if you also feel that your parents—or your papa (a male supporter) from papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)—are the people you hate most in the world…
Of course, it’s not only the person who feels嫌な who’s at fault; the person being disliked is at fault too…
