I’m embarrassed that my papa always encourages me to take pictures at restaurants.

Once you can easily earn through your regular job what that papa (a male supporter) gives you as an allowance, go ahead and make fun of him a little. Though, I admit, that’s still pretty mean-spirited. Honestly, I think you could simply say, “I don’t take photos when I’m out to eat.” Personally, I’d be embarrassed to say I wanted to take photos just because it was an expensive restaurant. Marika

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here with my answer as well. Thank you for your question. I think he probably feels that he’s taking you to nice restaurants, and that he’s doing his best to give you as much allowance as he can. If that’s leaving you dissatisfied, I think it may be better to end things with that papa (a male supporter). You should carefully consider whether you’re willing to put up with the low allowance or whether you’d rather break things off. Being in an arrangement while feeling dissatisfied the whole time sounds difficult, too. Also, if you’d like to take a photo of each dish as a keepsake when you eat at an expensive restaurant, why not try saying something like, “I’d love for you to take me to this restaurant next time. I want to show my friends the food there”? He may not be able to do it every time, but I think he might take you there occasionally. And if he sees how happy you are taking photos then, he may start to understand what kind of restaurants you want to photograph.

I think you should put yourself in a position to graduate from papa-katsu as soon as possible. Am I the only one who feels that your problem is that you’re somewhat lacking in gratitude toward your papas (male supporters)? Relatively wealthy people are on the same spectrum as the very rich. At the same time, I consider someone poor like me in the dating-club world to be at the very bottom, even among the relatively wealthy. Yet all I’ve ever heard from the women I see is, “Thank you as always,” and “I had a great time.”

I’m Kazu, a male member. If you’re being treated that way, it probably means you’re not getting offers from men who meet your standards. The problem is your own lack of ability. I don’t think you have a bad personality, but it sounds like you’re looking for a papa (a male supporter) who’s out of your league. If it’s already been more than three months since you started, you’ll only keep having unpleasant experiences, so I think you should quit while you can.
