She’s an ongoing partner, but her comments and schedule have been updated very frequently over the past few months.

30s, new member Sorry if I’m off the mark. I understand that the more you like a woman, the more you start noticing things like that and feeling jealous. Jealousy is tricky. Depending on how you express it, she might be put off, but if you communicate it well, she might even find it cute. From the way you phrased your question, it seems like something akin to pride is getting in the way, making it hard for you to control your jealousy. I think women pick up on that kind of atmosphere, and male jealousy can be especially tiresome. Even if it bothers you, I think it’s safest to bite the bullet and keep it completely hidden.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. > I’ve been watching her updates with an open mind, but I feel like it may be time to call it quits… An open mind? Am I the only one who thinks that sounds rather narrow-minded? If you really had an open mind, wouldn’t you simply stop checking what she’s doing on Universe in the first place? I think it should be enough to enjoy the time you spend with her when you meet. If your schedules don’t line up and that’s frustrating, you could always discuss how to meet more often, including the terms of the arrangement. If you’re seeing less of each other, it probably means you’ve become a lower priority, so there’s likely some reason for it. As for whether she seems unpopular with repeat clients, that’s only speculation. She may actually be popular, and since we don’t even know who she is, I don’t think we can say either way. If speculation is fine, I could just as easily say, “Maybe she’s very popular with repeat clients and is currently seeing about ten men at the same time.” That said, if you feel it’s time to move on, then that’s simply how things are. You may as well look for someone who’s more compatible with you.

This is Saito, the columnist ♪ From the wording, it’s reasonable to think she’s been receiving a lot of new offers. At the same time, as Mac mentioned, it’s also worth considering that people tend to get busier in the fall and winter. If you feel your motivation has dropped and that it’s time to move on because she seems to have plenty of papas (male supporters), it would be best for you to end things right away. On the other hand, if you’re approaching it positively and thinking, “I’d like to learn from a woman with a lot of experience,” then you probably won’t feel that it’s time to call it quits. Ultimately, it all comes down to how you feel.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member. > I imagine she’s caught in a cycle of constantly looking for new supporters. What do you all think? I have no doubt that she is continuing to seek new supporters. As for why, I think your assumption may be on the right track, but it may also be reasonable to conclude that she hasn’t yet reached the level of financial support she needs. Most working adults have a certain amount of income, so I feel that receiving enough support to do the things they want should be sufficient. However, if her goals require a large amount of money, if she’s trying to make a living through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), or if she wants to build up substantial savings, she’ll need several supporters—and may therefore have to keep looking for new ones. > I feel like it may be time to call it quits… I think this is a good opportunity. Why not ask her why she wants to renew the arrangement? If her reason is convincing, you could consider continuing to support her or increasing the amount of your allowance. But if you’ve developed feelings for her and can’t accept her reason for renewing, I think it may indeed be time to move on.
