Once you've experienced papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), you can't have a normal romantic relationship anymore, right?
This content is machine-translated.
Don't the men who brainwash young women into wanting marriage or make them genuinely fall in love realize they're ruining these women's lives?
The aftereffects of papa-katsu seem pretty serious...
Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer too.
Reading it carefully, this isn’t really saying that papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) itself causes lasting aftereffects.
It’s saying that lasting effects can result from getting involved with men who brainwash you into wanting to marry them or make you genuinely fall in love with them.
Quite a while ago, religious brainwashing became a major topic of discussion. I remember seeing stories about families struggling to free their loved ones from it, despite their best efforts.
So, rather than papa-katsu itself being the problem, I think the real issue is that brainwashing in general—including religious brainwashing—is dangerous.
But then again, that seems like common knowledge.
Brainwashing is certainly wrong, but I feel that some degree of brainwashing goes on in various parts of society.

I’m in Seattle.
I just wish my daughter, who’s socially awkward, an otaku, introverted, and only works low-paying part-time jobs, could become confident enough to do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).

Whatever the circumstances, if you’ve had an experience that made you care about someone that deeply, then it’s nothing less than a treasure.
What does it mean to “ruin your life”? If you call a mundane, uneventful existence—just repeating the same cycle day after day—a lifetime, then I think you’ve got it fundamentally wrong.

The moment men or women step into papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), they’ve already strayed from the accepted path in society’s eyes…
Why worry about that?

I think the women in the “Papa-Katsu Women’s Victims’ Association” would be better off not doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
Women who think men are to blame for everything are immature and not independent.
Immature girls should just stick to ordinary dating.

I think papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and ordinary romantic relationships are completely different.
First of all:
> Men who manipulate women into wanting to marry them or make them fall genuinely in love
I don’t think anyone is actually thinking that way...
I do value the women I see, but I’m not genuinely in love with them.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer.
Do people say they want to get married because they’re genuinely in love? In my case, I’m not even sure that’s true.
I’m probably the type who seems safe and marriage material, so when people tell me they want to marry me, it’s not because they’re madly in love with me. Sadly. (crying)
I’d honestly like to experience someone being genuinely, hopelessly in love with me at least once in my life. lol
I feel like when women say they want to get married, about half the time they’re speaking rationally. But when men say it, they’re usually seriously in love.

If you feel that way, then don’t do it. papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) isn’t a required subject or mandatory military service.
You choose to enter this world of your own free will, yet you blame other people when things go wrong. If you’re going to get involved in an adult relationship (intimate), at least take responsibility for your own life.

Oh, are you a mother who just realized her daughter is doing papa-katsu? In that case, I can understand why you’d be angry…
But in the end, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

It’s true that doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) can make you feel a little jaded about “normal relationships.”
In my case, I no longer get completely wrapped up in one boyfriend the way I did when I was a student.
It might be a “side effect” of papa-katsu, but it also helped me build assets that more than make up for it—investments in my work and health—so I’ve decided it can’t be helped.

After experiencing a good connection through papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), you may find it harder to see the appeal of conventional romantic relationships.
However, saying that it “ruins a young woman’s entire life” seems incredibly narrow-minded.
First of all, questions—or rather, these narrow-minded rants—of this kind repeatedly use the phrase “young women.” Is being young really the important point? Are you suggesting that women who aren’t young won’t be ruined?
Youth may represent potential, but I don’t believe it is a person’s value.
Next, regarding the claim that it “ruins someone’s entire life”: why do you assume that engaging in papa-katsu will ruin a person’s life? Each individual gets to decide what they want their life to be. That isn’t for you, an outsider, to decide.
Who exactly are you to declare that someone else’s life is ruined?
