What do women who are close to 50 and still doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) think?

Until You’re Nearly 50 Both men and women can become increasingly popular as they grow older, and I hope you’ll choose that kind of life and become that kind of person. There’s much more to life than just looks, energy, and physical strength. A life in which you become more popular with age and experience may be an enjoyable, comfortable one. Especially compared with relying solely on youth, where the competition is so intense… The difference will probably become even greater, too.

I don’t see the point of imposing an age limit. If you’re a man, wouldn’t it be enough simply not to make offers to women you’re not interested in? The club allows them to register because there’s demand for them. You can already search by age yourself, so what benefit would there be in creating a “grand senior” category?

I think papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is too soon for teenage girls and women around 20. That said, everyone has different preferences and opinions. I have no intention of imposing my own preferences or beliefs on others. I do question the self-centered attitude of acting as though one’s own views are the only normal ones. As for setting an age limit, does the questioner think they’re some kind of authority in the papa-katsu world? Personally, I find women up to 25 too immature to be satisfying partners, but that’s because of their level of emotional maturity. I draw the line at 25, though apparently some people consider someone immature until their 30s. Since I sometimes find people in their 30s “young” in a negative sense, I can’t say I completely fail to understand that view. To return to the original question: Some men feel that anyone who isn’t a mature woman around 50 would be an unsatisfying partner. Presumably, women around 50 are dating men like that, so I find it difficult to understand why their judgment would be questioned. There are probably also women around 20 who have been doing papa-katsu for several years, so what exactly is there to find strange? Besides, everyone has their own sensibilities. You can’t lump them all together as “women nearing 50 who do papa-katsu.” I suggest that the questioner first confront their own narrow-minded assumptions about what women nearing 50 should be like and what people who do papa-katsu should be like.
