I'm new to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and considering an interview.
This content is machine-translated.
I dropped out of college, but obtained a professional qualification while I was enrolled. However, I don't work in that profession (I only obtained the qualification and have little intention of pursuing it as a career), and I'm currently working part-time.
Is there a huge difference in the number of offers between listing my occupation as a part-time worker and as a licensed professional? If so, I'm considering registering with the Japan Patent Attorneys Association, but if it doesn't make much difference, paying the membership fees would just be a waste. I'd appreciate any advice…
Men may have a harder time joining if they’re unemployed, but women can join without a job at all. So being a part-time worker is perfectly fine, too.
They may ask how you support yourself during the interview, but it doesn’t seem like that affects whether you’re accepted.

I don’t really pay much attention to someone’s occupation.
If she’s in a popular field like entertainment, modeling, event companion, or cabin crew, I might hesitate—but if I already think she’s a good fit, I’ll still hit “Offer.”
If someone says they’re “between jobs,” I tend to suspect they work in the nightlife industry. If that’s not the case, I think it would be better to list their previous occupation.
So you’re a licensed professional, huh? I’m in the “shady-profession” business myself—con artist, clown, that sort of thing—so I might worry about whether we’d get along, being similar but not quite the same.
If it said “convenience professional” instead of “patent attorney,” and I sent an offer wondering what that meant, only to find out she worked for Duskin, I think that would actually make sense.
Speaking of actual licensed professions, if she were a land and house investigator or something, she gives off the air of someone who might attract spoiled rich-kid types living aimlessly off their parents’ inheritance. Maybe. Who knows.
Sorry for turning this into a comedy routine.

You may get more offers than you would as a part-timer.
However, part-timers and unemployed women tend to be less popular partly because people suspect they may be women who make papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) their profession. At least, that’s how I feel.
So if I met someone and realized she was actually doing papa-katsu as her profession, a man like me would be unlikely to continue seeing her.

I don’t think their occupation matters. I’m just a shallow idiot who’s obsessed with looks… I’m very appearance-oriented.
Any job is fine, as long as it isn’t nightlife-related.

Having a career that gives you an edge will probably increase the number of offers you receive.
There are surely men who admire women like nurses, female doctors, secretaries, lawyers, and women in other professional positions.
Maybe it’s because they don’t seem overly focused on money.
I think it’s impressive when a woman says she doesn’t rely on a man’s allowance. You can have an equal conversation with her, can’t you?
Rather than chasing men, let them chase you.
You’re still in your twenties… Live the rest of your life without regrets.

I didn’t realize patent attorneys were a thing—good to know. So they handle patent applications and things like that?
I actually preferred unemployed papas because they could take me traveling for longer stretches. Back in the day, I often went to Hokkaido for two weeks at a time.
Other than that, I choose based on looks and specs, as long as they’re under a 99. I prefer chubby guys. So basically, their occupation doesn’t really matter to me.

Of course, having some kind of qualification gives you more to talk about than being a part-timer, so it can work in your favor when receiving offers.
(But the harsh reality is that when making an offer, men first look at your overall appearance and vibe. So whether you’re a part-timer or a patent attorney, if you’re attractive and have sex appeal, you’ll receive plenty of offers.)

I wouldn’t make an offer to someone who’s just working part-time, but I might make one to a patent attorney. Chatting casually about intellectual property sounds like it could be interesting.
That said, if they had only obtained the qualification and couldn’t actually talk about IP, I’d be disappointed and probably end things after a two-hour dinner without even asking for their contact information.
Of course, I can’t speak for what other male members think.
P.S. I just remembered having a great conversation about brands with a part-time shop assistant. So I might make an offer to someone working part-time if they have an interesting job.
