I’m Rurara, a male member of Universe Club and a member of the new salon.
U.S.T.’s answer was incredibly clear and easy to understand. I’m seriously impressed!
As for me, I’ve used Sugar Daddy and Paters before. Once I submitted proof of income and added details like my height and weight, I was flooded with “likes.”
There are probably some wonderful women on there, but it’s quite difficult to tell which ones are genuine. Of course, you can get a pretty good sense of someone’s personality even through their messages, so it’s rare to meet someone who turns out to be completely strange in person.
That said, even after exchanging photos and meeting up, I’ve had plenty of experiences where I thought, “She looks nothing like her pictures,” or where the conversation went nowhere. Some women seemed to be there just to collect the 10,000-yen transportation allowance and leave.
Once, I thought, “This woman is exactly my type,” so I invited her out for sushi and arranged our first meeting. The person who showed up looked completely different from the photos. The only thing they had in common was being female（笑）。
When I said, “You look quite different from your photos,” she replied, “Of course I do! The pictures I posted are actually of my favorite idol☆” It was such a shocking experience that my mind went completely blank.
We did eat sushi together, but after that, I firmly vowed: “For this kind of meeting, the first date should absolutely, absolutely be at a café!”
I can certainly understand the idea that papa-katsu apps are a good deal because there’s no setting fee. In fact, I’ve often come across women on papa-katsu apps who are registered with Universe Club or other dating clubs.
With a dating club, you’d pay a 100,000-yen setting fee, whereas on an app, it’s free!
However, these discoveries aren’t very common, and I still feel that meeting someone through a dating club generally leads to higher-quality encounters.
So these days, I only use dating clubs.

> Could you explain the difference between dating sites and papa-katsu apps?
I only use Universe Club, so I really don’t know anything about dating sites or papa-katsu apps.
Universe Club was my first experience, and what I’m doing there is more than enough for me! I’m already struggling to keep up with the women I’ve met, so I have no need for other dating sites or apps.
> Do many male members of Universe Club also use papa-katsu apps?
I don’t use them because I have no need to.
