I’ve recently been getting in shape at a personal gym and plan to register soon. When it comes to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), I get the impression that women in their 20s are in higher demand. Would it be okay for me to apply even though I’m in my 30s?
I’m wondering whether there’s any demand for someone my age.

It’s just my personal preference, but as someone who’s almost in his 60s, I find women in their late 30s to 40s the most satisfying in bed. Many are considerate and kind, and a lot of them have more depth to their conversations and perspectives. I really like that, haha. On the other hand, even when it comes to women in their 30s, I sometimes feel that those in the early part of that decade may not quite have what I’m looking for yet.
And she works out at the gym too—that sounds perfect! Personally, when I make an offer to someone in her 20s, I’m usually looking for something different.
So register with confidence! I’ll be waiting, haha.

I think that applies more to compensated dating through dating sites or matching apps.
With dating clubs, women around 30 tend to be popular. By “around 30,” I mean roughly ages 25 to 34.
Popularity does decline outside that age range, but women in their 40s still receive offers, as do women in their teens and 20s.
I hope you’ll apply.

This is a question that comes up repeatedly.
I may be remembering incorrectly, but I believe women in their early 30s with a C-type profile receive the most offers.
Women in their 30s are probably at the heart of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). As Joe mentioned in a previous answer, Japan’s average age is 49, so that’s where the largest population segment is. I’d guess women in their 30s are the most popular because they’re the ones 50- and 60-something papas (male supporters) feel most comfortable dating.
Fuu’s monthly arrangements have also been increasingly with women in their 30s, and there are even some in their 40s.
That said, women in their 30s and 40s look great these days, so let’s keep working on staying in shape and taking care of our appearance. Women in their 30s might be your biggest competition.

You may not be aware of this, but it seems that more and more women in their 40s and even 50s are joining—not just women in their 30s. At least, when I signed up eight years ago (lol), there were only a handful of women over 40.
I suspect there are two reasons:
1. Demand, mainly from older men
2. The papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) community has broadened
I can’t say whether you’ll receive any offers, but please go ahead and sign up with your heart fluttering.
I hope you find someone wonderful.
