I’m considering papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), but I don’t have much money and can’t dress very fashionably.
This content is machine-translated.
I do take care with my makeup and hairstyle, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t look like the glamorous papa-katsu women I see when I search online.
Would there still be men willing to meet me and give me an allowance?
What kind of women do men want to meet? I understand everyone has different preferences, but I’d be grateful if you could share your thoughts.
What makes a man want to make an offer as a papa (a male supporter) is different from what women call a “glamorous girl.”
It depends on your features and overall vibe, but if you have a clean, innocent look with black hair, a GRL dress is more than enough. You don’t even need accessories or nail art if you have a cute face and a good figure.
(Unless you have a particularly flashy appearance...)
Like me, many papas prefer ordinary women with a clean, refined look over flashy women.
On the other hand, I personally wouldn’t make an offer to a flashy, heavily made-up, brand-conscious woman who looks overly money-driven.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money.
I couldn’t spend much on fashion either, and I hardly own any designer bags. But I do try to wear clothes made from quality fabrics that don’t look cheap and are neatly ironed. I also make sure my hair and makeup are presentable enough for work and wouldn’t make someone older than me feel uncomfortable.
I’m not particularly glamorous, but the people who offered to meet me all said they preferred women with a more natural, down-to-earth look.

Speaking from a woman’s perspective, I get the feeling that the sweet, naturally cute type is more popular here than the fully polished, glamorous type.
So if you’re unsure, why not go ahead and attend the interview?
These days, you can easily find glamorous-style clothes at affordable prices online. As long as your makeup, hairstyle, and manners are all in order, I don’t think you’ll have any problems with your activities at the club!

I’m not sure whether glamorous papa-katsu women are especially popular, but there are definitely women who are.
And even among women who aren’t particularly glamorous, quite a few receive a flood of offers. They just have that something that makes men want to invite them out.
Women who give off an air of being someone’s daughter from a wealthy family also tend to receive a lot of offers. Whether they actually come from that kind of family doesn’t matter—it’s all about whether they have that vibe.
Also, even if you don’t receive a flood of offers, getting just a few can still be enough to say you’re doing papa-katsu, as long as you click with the men you meet.
And since you won’t know what kind of offers you’ll receive until you actually register, I think the only thing you can do is go to the interview and sign up.

If you’re young, dressing stylishly without spending much can actually make a better impression. These days, there are plenty of affordable options for everything.
By the way, Marika, who’s saying all this, is in her late 40s.

I’m Rin, a female member of SALON.
I’m 36, and I’m not one of those flashy papa-katsu girls.
Some papas may prefer that type, while others may prefer someone more ordinary who doesn’t look like she’s into papa-katsu.
If you take care with your makeup, hairstyle, and appearance, I think that’s more than enough. I also think it’s better not to have nothing but designer clothes and belongings.
Of course, designer items can be tempting! But why not ask a papa you’re receiving an allowance from or have gotten close to?
I think it’s more enjoyable when you can have a comfortable arrangement that doesn’t feel forced!

I’m sure there are men who like women who look like the one in the image, but I don’t think they’re the majority. Men who are into that type probably look for women outside dating clubs in the first place.
My type is a neat, well-groomed working woman.
