Even when I think I should change my ways, all I can think about is wanting money. I find myself having thoughts like, “I could make money by doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or working at a hostess club.”
Even when I’m walking around town, I think about wanting cosmetics or clothes, or how, if I had money, I could go to school like my cousin.
My father used to be a company president, but he was deceived by someone.
I feel like I could do anything for money.
Am I twisted?
I’ll venture an answer, even though I’m nearly 60 next year and still thoroughly ruled by worldly desires.
> “I feel like I could do anything for money.”
You probably only feel that way. Getting serious means actually doing what you think you can do. You shouldn’t have time to be asking questions.

If you’re saying you’ll do anything for money, why not throw yourself into working instead? A daytime job, a nighttime job, even sex work—try anything you can.
papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is a relationship where you receive an allowance, not a job.

Somehow, I get the feeling that you might be easily deceived by people too.
When I was working at a factory before entering university, I knew someone who would immediately buy information from the horse-racing tipster companies advertised in evening papers like Gendai.
Whenever they actually bought the information, none of the predictions were accurate, and they felt they’d been scammed. But even knowing they were being fooled again, they apparently kept buying because they were drawn in by the exaggerated advertising.
The more tempting an offer sounds, the more obvious it should be that there’s a catch—but some people still jump at it right away.
People say they’ll do anything for money, but please be careful not to get scammed.
Also, saying that it’s easy to make money at a hostess club is disrespectful to the hostesses who work there.
Those who earn well put in a lot of effort, including actively cultivating customers.
Some people even damage their health by drinking too much.
Jobs that look like easy money often require the people who actually earn well to put in steady, behind-the-scenes effort.
Good luck.

Unable to live within their means when they’re short on money
Thinking that working in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or at a hostess club is easy
Feeling jealous of peers (or cousins) who have money
Those attitudes seem somewhat warped to me.
When you don’t have much money, enjoy a lifestyle that fits your means.
Think about working steadily.
Don’t compare yourself to others or envy them.
Once you’re able to live a stable life, I think it’s fine to do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) as something extra.
You could also work extremely hard at a hostess club as your way of earning a living steadily.
Life is long, so if you really set your mind to it, you can save money first and still pursue your education later.

Why not do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and work at a hostess club, then steadily save up your money?
Whether you let it wear you down is up to you.
There are women who do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and work at hostess clubs while enjoying themselves and staying focused on their goals, so maybe it all comes down to your mindset.

It’s only natural that money is at the root of this kind of activity, so I don’t consider that warped in itself.
But whether it’s papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or working at a hostess club, if you’re taking advantage of the other person’s goodwill with the ulterior motive of squeezing them for everything they’ve got, overcharging them, exploiting them, or constantly pressuring them to pay more, then I do think that’s warped.
As long as you’re honest and decent as a person, I think that’s what matters.

Whether someone is in an allowance-based relationship, works at a hostess club, or simply wants money, a serious person is still a serious person. I don’t think that makes them dishonest or warped.
However, someone who keeps sending questions like this to an anonymous Q&A box does seem pretty warped.
