I’ve heard that attractive women in their 40s are rare, so when one joins, wealthy men compete over her. From the staff’s perspective, is that really something you see happening?

I’m Paper Airplane, a male member. I’m in my late 40s, so I usually go for women in their 20s or 30s. But once the age gap gets too wide, I wonder if I’ll stop feeling like they’re genuinely interested in me and just become more of a backup option. With that in mind, if I were to consider women over 70 or closer to my own age, there may not be many in their 40s, which could make them relatively rare. I have a few women in their 40s saved as favorites myself. I’ve never made an offer to anyone over 30, so I can’t really say how it would go.

I’m Meg, a female member. Oh wow! If there really are people like that, I’d love to meet one too. Speaking as a woman in her 40s who definitely won’t be fighting anyone over him. P.S. To the gentleman with the brutally honest papa-katsu insights, Thank you, as always, for your precise, data-based answers. For me, that was about as shocking as something you’d hear on *Honma Dekka!? TV*! If there are really so few men in their 40s, does that mean there’s at least a tiny chance—well, a one-in-a-billion chance—that it could turn into a bidding war? Hmm, maybe I should cancel my hiatus after all. (grin) I shouldn’t be saying things like that when I’m just a foot soldier, though. Sorry!
