My papa is getting older so quickly, and I feel sad every time I see him. Maybe I’m aging just as much, but I feel like his aging is happening unusually fast.
This content is machine-translated.
He’s a papa I love very much who treats me incredibly well, so sometimes seeing him like this makes me feel like crying.
I want to help him look younger. Should I say something like, “You should take better care of yourself and look more stylish”? I want him to pay more attention to his appearance.
His hair has gone flat, and he has wrinkles around his neck and hollows under his eyes. Even in this day and age, I find myself thinking, “Why not rely a little more on cosmetic treatments?”
Many younger people care about their appearance, but for men from a generation when that mindset hadn’t really caught on, do they simply not worry about how they look?
Looking at my papas makes me afraid of getting older. I don’t want to end up with a deeply wrinkled face, white hair, and thin, flat hair like that.
He looks older than my own father, and I can’t help feeling uncomfortable about it.
For those of you answering, what kinds of things have you tried to look younger?

The successful business owners around me all seem to take care of themselves in one way or another, so I’ve started doing the same—apart from watching my diet, since I often get advice from them.
I go to the gym, get hair removal, take care of my hair, have regular dental checkups, follow a skincare routine, and dress appropriately for the occasion, mainly in suits.
My diet is probably a complete mess because I have so many business dinners, but I try to eat carefully when I’m not dining out.

More than wrinkles, age spots, or sagging, I feel someone has really aged when they’ve lost their vitality. Looks don’t matter that much. Procedures for wrinkles, age spots, and sagging may have some effect, but ultimately, someone who’s lively—or even shiny and a little greasy—gives off more energy, don’t you think? If you looked like Kōji Tamaki, sang well, were over 60, could finish three extra servings of tonkotsu ramen, and still manage three rounds at night without taking a break, wouldn’t that be more than enough without plastic surgery?
Oh, and that would be ¥100,000 a round, right? Sure, sure. If you go that far, you’d be satisfied, wouldn’t you? (lol)
What was I talking about again? Whether I’m doing anything to stay young?
I don’t do any cosmetic surgery at all. I just make sure to stay in fighting shape—as a living creature, like a wild animal.

I like people as they are.
I’ve never dyed my hair, and I’ve never even used sunscreen.
That said, once my gray hair becomes more noticeable, I might rely on hair dye a little.
Personally, I feel that wearing makeup may actually be more damaging to the skin itself.
I understand that makeup is unavoidable for women, but basically, I prefer women who wear light makeup.

My papa (a male supporter) started going to the cosmetic dermatology clinic I used to visit. It felt a bit too celebrity-like—and the prices were way too high for me—so I switched to another clinic. I only went with him to introduce him to the place.
At that clinic, my papa gets injections called “Sunekos,” which offer more natural-looking rejuvenation than hyaluronic acid fillers. I think he spends around ¥1 million a year. So for the past two years or so, his perceived age hasn’t changed. What’s amazing is that it doesn’t look unnatural at all.
Introducing your papa to a cosmetic dermatology clinic and going together might be worth considering.
I get photofacials and beauty IV drips every month—vitamins, glutathione drips, and so on, depending on what I feel like that time.

Men who cared about fashion and their appearance from a young age seem to keep taking reasonable care of themselves even as they get older.
That said, among our Showa-era generation, there seemed to be fewer men who cared about fashion than among boys today, in the Heisei and Reiwa eras. Men covered in acne, men with buzz cuts… lol.
The keys to looking younger are moderate exercise, healthy foods like brown rice, plenty of sleep, a regular lifestyle, taking care of your gut with probiotics, and quitting alcohol and smoking. Sweating it out in a sauna helps too.
If you quietly stick with this for six months, you’ll look younger.

Ah, I know exactly what you mean.
Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and think, “I’ve really aged.”
But I don’t do anything in particular to take care of myself.
As for staying young…
Maybe it’s about acting confident and carrying yourself like a big shot around other people? (笑)

Beyond the basics like removing spots, medical hair removal, and dental care, I work on both the inside and outside every day through my diet, weight training, and running. I’m often told, “You always smell nice,” so I think I’ve got the odor issue covered too.
A lot of papas misunderstand this, but in the context of papa-katsu, being “kind” and “gentlemanly” toward PJ girls means:
“Kindness = good personal grooming”
“Gentlemanly treatment = an allowance”
Speaking kindly to her and complimenting her are the bare minimum, so please don’t overlook personal cleanliness and the allowance.

If he’s getting older while doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), that’s not okay!
Someone needs to give him a wake-up call.
Tell him clearly that unacceptable is unacceptable, and guide him by saying you don’t want to be associated with tacky fashion or someone who has no appeal to women.
He probably lacks both the knowledge and the self-awareness.
Oh—and I’d better watch out for myself too, lol.
