I’m a male member. This topic came up here too, but since today is Reverse Valentine’s Day, I sent LINE gifts to the women I’ve met several times.〈I plan to properly return the favor to the ones who gave me Valentine’s gifts, perhaps on White Day.〉
This content is machine-translated.
I sent them to three women. Two of them were very happy and went out of their way to send me long thank-you messages, but the remaining one replied with just a “Yay!” sticker.
I’m not trying to demand a thank-you, but in a situation like this, I couldn’t help feeling that replying with only a sticker was rude. Am I just old-fashioned, or is this perfectly normal for younger people who grew up with LINE?
I can’t help comparing her reaction with the other two… Am I being too narrow-minded?
It’s been bothering me a little, so I apologize for asking such a trivial question.

If that’s how you feel, I think you should say goodbye to the girl who said, “Yay!”
That said, it’s also possible that the other two are professional papa-katsu girls, while the “Yay!” girl is simply a genuine, ordinary girl.
Besides, if you’re going to feel dissatisfied because you gave her something and didn’t like the way she thanked you, it might be better for your own peace of mind not to give anything next time.

You shouldn’t have done something so out of character as giving her a Valentine’s gift in the first place.
If she found out that you thought of her that way, it would hurt her.
Since you have more life experience, please try to treat her with a little more composure.

I think that’s a perfectly normal way to feel.
It may just be a difference in how each generation views things.
Unlike email, with LINE, the convention among the LINE generation is to skip greetings and get straight to the point—and not to send long messages.
So the person who sent a lengthy thank-you message probably did so deliberately, taking your reaction into account and trying to be considerate.
The person who only sent a sticker likely genuinely thought that sending a long message would be rude, which is why they responded that way.
I think both responses show sincerity.

I think two long thank-you messages are more than enough. They sound like kind women. It seems your everyday conduct—or perhaps the way you speak and act—makes them feel good about you.
The girl who only replies with a LINE sticker is probably just that kind of person. It can’t be helped.

You shouldn’t expect anything in return for what you give. Especially with papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), you’re making offers to young women, so it’s easier on your mind if you assume they may not have been taught proper manners.

As Kazu said, it probably just comes down to personality.
Someone who usually enjoys staying in touch might send a long thank-you message, while someone who isn’t good at keeping in contact might feel that even a sticker is enough.
Still, I understand how you feel. Sometimes moments like this give you a glimpse of someone’s true nature, don’t they?
They might thank you profusely the next time you meet, so it’s probably not fair to judge them based on LINE alone.

That’s just part of her personality, and I think it’s perfectly normal.
You could also see women who only send stickers, without trying too hard through long messages, as more straightforward and cute.
