What exactly is an emotional connection?
I’ve thought about it, but I honestly have no idea.
Is it something that develops just from having dinner together for two hours?
I wondered if maybe he meant he wanted a simulated romantic relationship, but would someone really approach a C-type looking for that?
I’m Meg, a female member.
Something that can’t be built overnight is an emotional connection.
For example:
- The accumulation of daily messages
- Caring about each other even when you can’t meet
- The feeling of gradually finding comfort in each other every time you become intimate
In any case, it takes a certain amount of time.
I’m a D-type member, and at least with my papa (a male supporter), I feel that he’s looking for that kind of connection.

I think what constitutes an emotional connection varies from person to person.
Since this is a dating club, the relationships involve an allowance, but men don’t want to be treated like ATMs or magic money trees, and women don’t want to be treated like sex workers.
It’s not simply a matter of being intimate and calling it good, either. Some people may want to stay in frequent contact, while others may see being affectionate together in public as an emotional connection.
I think many men join because they believe they can find something here that they can’t get or fulfill in their everyday lives. So what men are looking for is probably different from what they’d seek on a dating app.

Women tend to join with the image of papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) in mind, while men tend to picture having a mistress. I feel like that mismatch is causing some confusion.
The term “papa-katsu” didn’t exist in the past, and this industry was probably associated more with the idea of having a mistress.
When you hear “mistress,” doesn’t it bring to mind the kind of relationship Professor Zaizen had in The White Tower, which has been remade several times as a TV drama?
Personally, though, I’m not looking for that deep an emotional connection. But wouldn’t women dislike being viewed as nothing more than “things,” too? As long as you treat them as people—not just as something money can buy—that’s enough.
Everyone’s here at these relationship clubs because, in some way, they feel lonely. Isn’t it okay to fill just a little of that loneliness—even if it’s only a tiny bit?

Thank you for your question.
When I saw, “What does an emotional connection mean?” I thought, “Another evening of philosophy?” But when I read, “Can something like that really develop just from having dinner together for two hours?” I wondered if a man had said that to you.
It would help to know what exactly was being discussed, since the answer could vary depending on the context.
If it was something the man said, perhaps he meant that he wanted to deepen your emotional connection as you continued seeing each other. You’re right—having dinner together alone doesn’t really create an emotional bond.
This may be a bit late, but whenever I hear “Type C,” I can’t help remembering the old classifications:
A = kissed
B = progressed as far as petting
C = had an adult relationship
D = had a child

What does an emotional connection really mean? I think everyone is looking for something different.
Since you’re a Type C, I imagine you’re probably looking for an adult relationship that isn’t just about sex, but includes affection, consideration for each other, and genuine feelings.
Women have the right to choose whether they want to continue seeing someone, too. If what a man wants feels too emotionally demanding, you can simply end the relationship. Rather than overthinking it, I think it’s better to look for someone you can be yourself with and see naturally.

I think an emotional connection means feelings, personal attachment, and things like that. For some people, it might be a kind of pseudo-romance—or even genuine romantic feelings. Even if two people have only had dinner together for two hours, they’ve probably formed more of a connection than two people who have never met.
The reason people look for a sex partner through a dating club rather than a sex-service establishment is probably because they’re hoping for some kind of emotional connection.

I wrote “more of a connection than two people who have never met” because it reminded me of the basic sales principle: “Just get them to meet you.” Apparently, meeting in person increases the chances of closing a deal compared with only calling or emailing. It’s that kind of shallow connection, but I still think it’s better than not having dinner together at all.
At least for me, compared with a hostess I met for the first time at a sex-service establishment, I feel more of a connection with a woman from a dating club whom I invited out after dinner and who agreed to it.
