Hello,

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here with an answer. Thank you for your question. > On the contrary, I’m often told that I seem like a normal girl, that they can’t understand why I do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), that I’m serious, and that my way of thinking is very masculine. It’s possible that men say those things because you don’t look like the kind of woman who would do papa-katsu, and they’re happy to have met someone like you. So I don’t think you should misunderstand what they mean. > I’m also told that I should quit papa-katsu. I think they say that because you don’t seem like someone who would do papa-katsu, yet they see you working hard at it. There must be something about you that makes them say those things more than they would to other women. I think it’s probably because you’re a serious, sincere person. > They encourage me to do things so that papa (a male supporter) will give me more money… I think they’re saying that your desired allowance is too low, and that even from a man’s perspective, you could reasonably receive more. You should listen carefully to what those men are saying and adjust things while asking questions, such as how much your allowance should be. It may also be that you’re too kind or something, and the men are worried about you. > How can I appear more alluring? I don’t know how to project sex appeal. If you genuinely want to become more alluring, I think you would need to watch videos of alluring women dozens of times and develop enough acting ability to repeat the same movements in any situation. I say “acting ability,” but you would need to make those movements so natural that even you can no longer tell whether you’re acting. > Will I become better at acting cute and being good at relying on people? The term “burikko” was popular years ago, meaning a woman who deliberately acts cute. I think it would be impossible without being able to do exactly that. First, you probably need to acquire the “burikko” skill. > To the point where people would recommend that I try papa-katsu? Women who don’t seem like they do papa-katsu are actually more popular, so I don’t think you need to focus too much on that. I would understand if you were aiming to be good enough that people would tell you to enter show business, though. > Is it okay to stop using polite language once we become friendly, even if we’ve only just met? Even if you feel like you’ve become friendly on the first day, I think it’s better to continue using polite language. After you’ve met several times and feel that you’ve become quite close, you can ask them whether it’s okay to stop speaking formally.

I’m in Seattle. I prefer it when people don’t use overly polite language. It really depends on the man, so I’d ask how he’d like things to be and go along with that.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Women can be attractive in many different ways, and men have all kinds of preferences. A man’s tastes aren’t necessarily limited to just one type, either. He might like girls with that kind of look, but also find another type hard to resist. For some men, an ordinary, girl-next-door look is exactly their ideal. Others may prefer models but still enjoy meeting someone more down-to-earth from time to time. As an aside, I hear modeling is one of the most popular professions on Universe, but I honestly don’t understand the appeal of models at all. That’s how varied men’s preferences can be. So, since your appeal seems to be your natural, ordinary-girl look, I don’t think you need to change it. Another side note: Is “You should try papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)” really meant as a compliment? (笑) Personally, I feel even luckier to meet women through a dating club when I can’t figure out why they’re doing papa-katsu. As for using polite language, personally, I think it’s safer not to drop it. But men have different preferences, so you should ask him what he prefers.
