There seem to be more generous supporters (paying 100,000 yen or more per meeting) among the younger male members. Why is that? I’d assumed it would be the other way around, so I’m surprised.

There’s no correlation between age and the amount of allowance. People give an allowance based on how much disposable income they have. For example, even someone earning ¥20 million a year may not be able to offer a high allowance if they have a family and live in an expensive high-rise apartment. They may actually offer about the same allowance as a single person earning ¥10 million a year and living in a rental apartment…

Since this question was passed on to me, I’ll answer it. It may get a little long, so please bear with me. First, based on what I’ve learned through my own activities—mainly from women I’ve met—as well as the situation among people around me in the real world, there are hardly any generous (well-paying) papas among the younger generation (those in their 20s to 40s). So I’d assume that you, the questioner, are a very attractive woman if you’ve been meeting people like that. When you consider the compensation—allowance, gifts, and so on—most people are acting with the goal of keeping their hourly rate low. In my case, as I’ve partly explained in another answer, I don’t immediately offer 10+ on a pay-per-meeting basis to everyone. The starting point is generally 6–7 at the lowest. There have been girls in the past and present whom I gave 10+ to from the very beginning, as well as girls who reached that level as our relationship progressed, but that isn’t the case for everyone. I also give gifts for special occasions and sometimes accompany them shopping. Still, personally, I don’t consider myself anywhere near the level of a generous (well-paying) papa. In my view, people in that category are offering high amounts both per hour and in total—although I don’t have any clear standard for what “high” means. As I’ve mentioned before, I still need to work hard at my job, and I also enjoy my work, so I don’t have that much time to devote to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). I give a little more per hour so that I can at least hold my own if someone from the generous-papa category at the club, or one of the more experienced people around me, comes along. Many of the male respondents, as well as the people the female respondents are seeing, seem to be in that category. That was the polished version of my answer, but honestly, as Mac-san’s answer to the other day’s question made me realize, I probably do get a little intoxicated by the fact that I give more than what’s considered the going rate（笑). Also, pardon my language, but I’ve realized there are plenty of men even more hopeless than I am. So another reason I give more is that, if I provide enough overall, the woman I’m seeing can cut off those pointless guys without hesitation. I often can’t meet all of her needs financially by myself, so I’m completely fine with her seeing multiple people. However, I do tell her that I’d rather she not get involved with pointless people—I’ll leave the definition up to you. That said, this isn’t charity. The main reason is simply that the woman I’m seeing is wonderful, and even though we can’t meet very often, I want to give her as much as I reasonably can. As I often comment here, this is simply a matter of supply and demand, so I don’t feel I have any right to criticize the amount of the allowance. If both parties agree to the terms, I think that’s all that matters. And if by “the younger generation” you meant people like twenty-something business owners or elite employees at foreign-affiliated companies, then I apologize for misunderstanding.

I’m a loser guy in the middle of reinventing myself. My current mission is to be the bodyguard for a new respondent. I was invited by It’s Me, so here I am, but this question is obviously meant for Early-san (a no-look pass). I might get absolutely hated by women for saying this, but all of my monthly arrangements are with what you’d call very money-minded women. - They’ll turn down even an attractive older man if the pay-per-meeting amount is under 100,000 yen. - Anything under 150,000 yen is completely out of the question. Those are the women I’m seeing. My average pay-per-meeting amount is around 150,000 yen, but in a sense, that’s only natural. Otherwise, none of these women would be able to continue the arrangement. One more thing. I live more frugally than most papas. I used to be extremely poor, and I know how frightening that is, so I haven’t changed my lifestyle. I don’t shop at convenience stores; I shop at supermarkets. My home, car, clothes, watch, and shoes are all cheap. That’s why I have money left over. I think men who offer lower allowances probably spend more money on themselves. They don’t go to places like Sushiro, Saizeriya, or Sukiya—the places I love, right? They don’t wear Aoyama suits, either. And I probably have a greater level of respect for women than anyone else. I just can’t imagine offering under 100,000 yen per meeting to a woman more than two decades younger than me. I believe: Kindness = a higher allowance Respect = a higher allowance So I offer more than the going rate. That said, maybe 50,000 yen is fine too—if the woman is genuinely satisfied with it. I’m not confident; I’m timid. I pay more attention than anyone to looking clean and presentable, and I’m extremely conscious of my body shape and smell. I listen to their problems and help with family issues, too. Of course, that’s only basic courtesy. But personally, I believe the essence of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is how much allowance you can give, so I try to offer as much as I can.

I think it’s because single people have more disposable income. Marika

Maybe so… I can’t even imagine what it’s like to join a club at such a young age… It must be a world that a paper airplane like me, who sees no value in joining a club in my 30s or 40s, could never understand…

No way, that’s way too broad ^^; Mr. Loser, someone’s calling you lol It’s me.

I think it’s probably just a coincidence. How young are we talking?
