The girl I always see is cute and sweet, but she doesn’t seem to have met anyone or have a boyfriend.

I’m Shingo Lee (Shingori), a male member. First of all, women are popular simply by virtue of being women. If she’s really as impressive as you make her out to be, she must receive countless approaches. She’s probably approached by so many men offline that matching with a reasonably attractive guy on an app isn’t enough to satisfy her. If she wanted one, she could easily find a friend with benefits. And if she were willing to compromise, finding a boyfriend would probably be easy too. So why can’t she get a boyfriend? It’s because although she gets plenty of approaches, her standards for the other person are too high. No one meets her expectations. Also, the concept of a “boyfriend” among young women today is different from what we imagine. Young women these days are very serious and expect their boyfriend to be completely pure and faithful. In old-fashioned terms, you could call it “platonic.” There’s even this strange phenomenon where women who love sex get friends with benefits in order to maintain a platonic relationship with their boyfriend. You see this especially often among female college students. The person you’re seeing is financially better off than other men her age. Her financial independence makes it difficult for her to find a “perfect, ideal boyfriend” who’s also completely platonic. My first piece of advice is that it’s best to leave her alone. But if you really want to say something, perhaps you could suggest investing her money and taking up a new hobby. Rather than spending what she earns, suggest putting it into investments and lowering her standard of living. You could also encourage her to try a new hobby. These days, there are games where people chat online, and many people make wonderful connections that way. If she finds some kind of new online hobby, I think she’ll have more opportunities to meet new people.

I’m Dáte◎Yume, a male member. > She seems like she wants a boyfriend... I feel like quite a few young women today vaguely feel that way and wait around for someone to come along, like Cinderella girls. These days, there are countless opportunities to meet people, and once you start working, you encounter all kinds of people there too. Perhaps what they really mean is that they want a boyfriend, but the kind of man they’re looking for hasn’t appeared in front of them yet. I think the timing simply hasn’t been right. And in the meantime, the fact is that they’re gradually reaching their thirties and forties. If someone gets married in their forties, and their child also gets married in their forties, the parents may pass away without ever seeing their grandchildren（笑） Are humans gradually becoming like annual plants or insects too?

I’m Aya, a female member. If you’re doing only papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) without having a part-time job, are you a student? If so, studying is basically your job, so that’s fine. If you’re not a student, then you’re a NEET. Also, there’s a chance she simply has a boyfriend. I keep my same-age boyfriend a secret from my papa (a male supporter), and he hasn’t found out at all. I tell him, “I’m socially awkward, so I can’t get a boyfriend,” and he just goes, “Yeah, I can see that.”

I’m Kamihikōki, a male member. Just as you shouldn’t take everything a hostess says at face value, it’s best to take what she says with a grain of salt. You can believe her if you want, but honestly, who’s interested in stories from a woman who spends time with you in exchange for money…? If she’s such a cute, lovely girl that she’s that popular in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), it wouldn’t be surprising if she already had plenty of other people in her life besides her papa—a male companion who offers comfort without an allowance, male friends, and female friends. In fact, having relationships with men outside of papa-katsu may be what allows her to continue with papa-katsu.

I’m Nana Ayase, a female member. Why did you recommend a dangerous dating app to a cute, lovely girl you meet all the time? You really wouldn’t care if something terrible happened to her? Please encourage her to get a regular job and help her build the ability to live as an ordinary person. Also, you seem to take women’s words at face value far too easily. Be careful.

I’m Meg, a female member. Start by encouraging her to get a part-time job and develop a sense of money first. Then you can talk about the rest.
