When it comes to gifts for women in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), are they usually designer items—like bags or perfume? Have you ever been asked for something unexpected and thought, “Oh, you’d be happy with that?” The person asking is a woman.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here with an answer as well. What I learned from a veteran papa-katsu woman was this: (Why am I learning this from her? lol) You start by finding out how much money a man has—or whether he’s in a position to use company expenses. If he is, you casually work into the conversation some of the things you want that could plausibly be bought as business expenses. Apparently, you should never outright ask for anything. That way, the man will naturally end up giving you presents. Amazing. lol Of course, it apparently takes more than just talking—there are various little strategies involved. So, absolutely no outright asking. You need to think carefully about how to lead him toward wanting to buy it for you, and you also need to assess the man properly. A lot of men, once they take a liking to a woman, start wanting to buy her something. From the woman’s perspective, it might be better to have her allowance increased, but it seems many men prefer to give presents instead. Of course, it doesn’t always work out that way. Some men may go in a strange direction, saying things like: “Now that I like you, why don’t we date without an allowance?” or “Would it be okay if I lowered your allowance?” So you need to judge them carefully.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. > When it comes to giving a woman in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) a present, does it usually have to be a designer-brand item? Yes, pretty much. Women seem to be very particular about that, and for some reason, they always ask for designer brands. I always make a point of keeping my wallet looking thin and say, “Papa (a male supporter) doesn’t have any money. I’m broke…” But it doesn’t seem to have any effect at all. Even when I think, “This is expensive!” I still end up saying, “Sure, that’s fine,” haha. So far, I haven’t gotten any unexpected requests.
