For example, if you don’t have the courage to register with a dating club but feel comfortable using an app where you can sign up and meet someone right away, you can assume you’ll find a similar type of people there.
On the other hand, if you want to meet people who have been properly screened because you don’t know what kind of people are on apps, keep in mind that you’ll also be carefully screened before meeting anyone through a dating club.
There are plenty of supposed pros and cons out there, but honestly, I don’t think the difference is all that significant.
People who are good at presenting themselves are better suited to apps.
Once you get used to things, try a dating club.
Or, since you’re a beginner, start by registering with a dating club.
Then, once you’re more comfortable, maybe give apps a try too?!
I used to think most people used each option for different purposes, but debating whether apps or dating clubs should come first when starting papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) feels like it could turn into an argument over which came first—the egg or the chicken.
Both have their ups and downs when it comes to finding a match.
It’s all about catching the right wave of encounters.
Ultimately, I think it’s best to use both.
You probably shouldn’t spread yourself too thin, but I do think it’s better to have a few different places where you can cast your net.
Maezawa from Shacho-shitsu here, answering your question as well.
If you’re good at promoting yourself, can properly handle odd men, and can keep your composure even when men fail to show up at the meeting place more often than not, you’ll probably be able to meet and be intimate with more men through apps.
I think most women who use dating clubs are looking for quality rather than quantity, and you’re more likely to meet better men there than on apps.
That said, I think about one-third of the men offer allowances at about the same level as apps, so you’ll probably need to work on yourself enough to receive offers from the remaining two-thirds.
Even so, I believe dating clubs have significant advantages.
