I’m the person who asked the “Usseewa!” question.

https://universe-club.jp/help/questions/view/6035 I have to say, the staff member really outdid themselves—they gave me a wonderfully sharp answer modeled after the lyrics. As a female member, I intended it as a joke. But since the male members didn’t know the original song, they took it seriously and gave me some painfully awkward answers. When it comes to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), is it best not to bring up trendy topics with older men, and instead focus on listening and expanding the conversation? Papas often ask me things like, “What do you do on weekends?” or “What have you been into lately?” But even when I answer honestly, the conversation doesn’t really click because they don’t understand. So I make a note of topics they might be interested in, or things they talked about last time, and bring them up at our next meeting to expand the conversation from there. Even if I’m not the slightest bit interested in them, I pretend to be interested and use every ounce of energy I have to create a comfortable atmosphere. It’s honestly exhausting. I’m in the Black Class, and I feel that men in the Black Class who suddenly come into a bit of money are especially likely to be “emperors with no clothes.” It’s a transactional relationship involving money, but you feel comfortable together and your conversational rhythm matches. Even if I got married and could no longer see him, I’d want to tell him about major milestones in my life, like pregnancy or childbirth, and I’d still sometimes want to know how he was doing. Will I ever have such a strange and wonderful encounter??
