You should do whatever feels right to you—it’s your life.
Dogs and cats gave up living in the wild as a species and evolved to specialize in being kept by humans as pets. Since there are now so many of them, they could be considered successful when it comes to preserving their species.
You might also be liked and “kept” by a man. You may not have much freedom, but if that’s what you want, then you should live as you see fit. There are men who like women that way, too.

Wouldn’t a papa (a male supporter) either lose interest in or get tired of a woman who’s overly dependent on him? What do you think?
Rather than obsessing over special skills or certifications, your 20s are the time to lay the groundwork for your future. It’s the morning of your life—there’s still so much to do!

Do you really plan to think of yourself as being in your twenties forever? Do you still consider yourself young?
While you’re young, I think it’s a good idea to learn a trade, become proficient with PowerPoint, and study English, Chinese, or Korean. Getting various qualifications would be helpful too.
Even in the world of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), people in their twenties and thirties are preferred. The same goes for regular jobs. Once you hit your forties, if you have no qualifications, no language skills, and can only handle basic computer tasks, you may find it difficult to get work.
You shouldn’t depend on men… Let’s make sure you’re the one laughing in the end.
I’m rooting for you.

There was a similar question not long ago, but this used to be considered normal in the Showa era. For some people, times have become harder to live in.

It’s not necessarily wrong if you’re okay with it. I’m just saying I couldn’t do it—and if you ever started to dislike it, you wouldn’t be able to get out if you had no job or anything else to fall back on.
If you’re okay with that, then that’s your choice.
It might work out if you meet a well-off husband while you’re still young and stay together for life. But high-income men usually expect a certain level of looks, intelligence, and so on. If you’re confident you can win one over and keep him, then go for it.

Thanks for the question. Maezawa here—I’ll answer too.
What do you think of men known as “kept men”?
If you don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a kept man, then I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what you’ve written either. On the other hand, if you feel that being a kept man is wrong, then I imagine you would also see what you’ve written as wrong.
Everyone chooses their own way of life. These days, it seems that as long as someone isn’t inconveniencing anyone else, their way of life is generally accepted.
By the way, a “kept man” refers to someone who is physically and mentally healthy but doesn’t work himself and relies entirely on a romantic partner. Men who financially depend on women in this way may also be called kept men.
Simply lacking financial resources doesn’t make someone a kept man. The term is often used when someone not only makes their partner cover their living expenses, but also asks them for money whenever possible and even makes them handle the housework.
A similar term is “gigolo.”
A gigolo is a man who lives by receiving money from women, so the basic meaning is much the same as “kept man.” However, a gigolo may also be described as a “playboy,” “lady-killer,” or “womanizer.”
It seems to be used when the woman is the one who has fallen for him, perhaps because he is good-looking.
Both “kept man” and “gigolo” refer to men who are financially supported by women, but they give different impressions. “Kept man” strongly suggests a no-good man, while “gigolo” tends to suggest a popular, charming ladies’ man.

Yes, that’s a hard no.
You’re a terrible person and should repent, but I doubt you’ll ever change.
Why not keep trading solely on your femininity, become an empty middle-aged woman, then an old woman, and keep fawning over men until you’re frail and everyone treats you like some kind of monster?
Maybe you’ll become an urban legend someday. Good luck.
