A real papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) couple came into my workplace.
This content is machine-translated.
Until now, I’d always imagined papa-katsu as something men who weren’t attractive, or extremely old men, did. But this customer looked completely natural standing next to a girl who seemed to be around 20.
Their conversation was vulgar.
It honestly made me wonder whether papa-katsu is no longer unusual these days.
Are you all handsome too?
I’m currently on good terms with:
- A super-popular, handsome papa who looks like a yakuza
- An average-looking but muscular papa who’s a genius in IT and a devoted dad
- A stylish papa from the overseas IT bubble who lives in a luxury tower apartment in Akasaka
And yes, they’re all handsome—or at least have a sharp, polished vibe. Maybe that’s why things have lasted so long.
That said, I’ve also been involved with an older man in the past, so I don’t think I choose people based on looks alone.
There really seems to be something you can only describe as compatibility.

Maybe they’re an age-gap couple? Or perhaps she works in nightlife?
I can’t really picture people having vulgar conversations through a dating club, so maybe it was an app… Crude talk is probably what I’m least comfortable with!

Setting aside the fundamental issue, we don’t have vulgar conversations, and we’re careful in various ways not to make it look like that kind of relationship.
Since I started doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), I’ve begun noticing quite a few people like that around me. But they might just be age-gap couples, so maybe there really aren’t more of them after all.
With people getting married later these days, I feel like there are simply a lot of age-gap couples.

Since you said a papa-katsu couple came in, I’m guessing your part-time job is in food service—but I think the situation would be very different depending on whether it was a fast-food place or a members-only restaurant.
If they were having vulgar conversations loudly enough for the staff to hear, then that papa probably wasn’t very handsome on the inside.
Although, by doing papa-katsu ourselves, we’re 100% guilty and 0% handsome too, lol.
It’s me.

If he’s someone from your part-time job, then wouldn’t this just be a normal age-gap relationship rather than papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?
I’m wondering whether you actually tell people at work that you’re dating him for a certain allowance—or do you?

The men I met weren’t old at all—they were young, gentlemanly, and wonderful! They were the kind of guys who seemed like women would naturally be drawn to them even without joining a dating club. There are plenty of great men out there!
