I’ve never tried papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
I mistakenly thought papa-katsu was only for students, but I’ve heard that some women in their late 20s and 30s do it too.
Can you tell if a woman is involved in papa-katsu just by her vibe when you pass her on the street?
From a woman’s perspective, would it be acceptable to approach her and offer a large amount of financial support in exchange for dating?
Please let me know.
>Can you tell if a woman is doing papa-katsu just by passing her on the street?
If it’s a couple with a noticeable age gap and the woman speaks formally with an awkward air about her, they might be doing papa-katsu. If she’s accompanying him, she may have her hair professionally styled and give off more of a nightlife vibe, so it’s a little different. But if you’re not used to seeing it, you probably can’t really tell.
>Is it acceptable, from a woman’s perspective, to approach someone and pursue a relationship by offering a large amount of financial support?
Why not try approaching women in Ginza, Roppongi, or the Kabuki area before they start work? They might be willing to exchange contact information, at least.
If you approach women who aren’t involved in that scene, you could easily be treated like a pervert, so I’d advise men with a prominent social standing not to do it.

I feel like the question itself is a bit odd.
If you’re skilled enough to pick women up, you probably wouldn’t need to offer a large amount of money in the first place. And honestly, if that were the case, you’d probably already be approaching women without needing to ask here.
If you think that bringing up a large amount of financial support upfront will make up for not being able to pick women up normally, you’re seriously mistaken.
She might think, “Are you taking me for an idiot?” and, at worst, call the police.
Considering that various scouts have been arrested, there’s also a risk that you could be arrested simply for bringing up money.

You sound like you’re about to fall for a honey trap.
If you approached ordinary people like that, you’d be reported and arrested. Maybe you need some intimidating guys to teach you a lesson.
The world isn’t that easy, you know.

I’m 36. Sorry, I guess.
I get the feeling that quite a few people, like the questioner, assume that only students do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)… but I do it even though I’m not a student.
I don’t think I give off a particularly “papa-katsu” vibe. Maybe other people see it differently?! I don’t do it all that often either, so I doubt I look like a papa-katsu girl.
If someone is going to approach you first and then offer substantial financial support, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to join a dating club? Since that’s the whole premise there, things would move much more quickly!
I’m not sure whether these people are technically hitting on you, but when I’m walking and someone says things like, “Would you like to have tea?” “You’re beautiful. Are you free right now?” or “Can we exchange contact information?” I ignore them because I worry they might be trying to sell me insurance—or even some ridiculous product. I honestly can’t understand why anyone would go along with them. It’s scary, so please stop.

When you see a couple with an obvious age gap at an upscale restaurant, there’s a good chance the woman is involved in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). Are there any other signs you can pick up from the overall vibe?
Also, if a man approaches someone by offering a large amount of financial support, does that count as a pickup?
I also feel like it would be hard to succeed because he’d be suspected of being a scammer who plans to trick her later.

I’d love to say you can meet someone anytime, anywhere—but honestly, I don’t think you should.
You’re still in your 40s, so it’s far too early to get involved in high-paying pickup arrangements or an upscale dating club.
For now, I think you’d be better off putting all your energy into building a solid foundation for yourself.

Half are students, and half are women in their late 20s to early 30s.
The women whose earnings you can’t really guess from their overall vibe are probably making the most.
