What to Compromise on in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)

This content is machine-translated.
This is a long post. If I could meet the perfect man, he alone would be more than enough, but the chances of that happening are practically miraculous, right? I imagine men feel the same way. There probably aren’t many people who can fulfill all their ideals on their own, are there? If that’s the case, I feel like we have to compromise somewhere. What do you all choose to overlook? I currently have two men I’m seeing regularly. I received four offers, but one fell through because our schedules didn’t work out. I also turned down one man after the first meeting because even having dinner with him was unbearable. That leaves the two men I’m still seeing, but lately I’ve started getting fed up with both of them. One cancels at the last minute frequently, has a drinking problem, and also takes a long time to finish. The allowance is 3. I had hoped for 4–5, but I agreed on the condition that he take me to expensive restaurants every time. However, he only takes me to izakayas, which wasn’t what I expected. Since he’s not keeping his end of the deal, I’d like to suggest meeting and parting at a hotel and adding 1 to the allowance, but he constantly emphasizes how short on money he is, so I’m sure he’d cut me off. The other man and I seem to have very similar tastes in food. However, he repeats the same stories every time, and even when I try to change the subject, he forcibly brings it back, so it’s boring. Also, when it comes to an adult relationship (intimate), he pressures me to go without protection every time, and I’m tired of having to make him use a condom. The allowance is 4. He seems to make offers to new girls every month, so I feel like he’d cut me off if I said anything. I would consider ending things if I received a new offer, but that doesn’t seem very likely. I’ve tried changing my profile comments, posting photos, liking posts, and consulting the staff, but none of it has helped. It looks like I’ll have no choice but to continue seeing these two, but I’m not sure what I should overlook. I’d appreciate hearing your opinions.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. I’ll answer as well. I don’t think you should push yourself. Be honest with your feelings. If you feel it’s too much, then even if it means losing that person, I think it would be better for your own peace of mind to say goodbye.

I’m Meg, a female member. I’m sorry, somehow. My allowance is lower than the amount you receive, but I’ve continued seeing the same person. Still, I wonder if anyone is perfect… Are relationships really something you’re supposed to continue reluctantly, turning a blind eye to things?

I feel the same way. That’s just how life is. I think it’s about making the most of your current circumstances—finding ways to enjoy them and make them meaningful. Still, even just imagining your relationships with the two of them from your description, it sounds like you’re having a lot of fun, haha.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. This is just my own small-sample survey, but it’s a pretty realistic and common situation. Totally plausible. Aside from a few exceptions, many women are struggling. In the end, you just have to compromise and find a balance between the money and how much you’re willing to put up with, and somehow make it work ^^;

You could say papa-katsu is all about luck. > If I could meet the perfect man, I’d be completely satisfied with just him, but the odds are miraculous… It starts with believing that’s possible.

I’m Kazu, a male member. Since you already seem to be turning a blind eye, perhaps it’s best to keep doing so until someone better comes along.
