I want to start papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), but I’m not interested in designer brands or hosts. I’m not planning to spoil a boyfriend, either.
This content is machine-translated.
The only thing I can think of is going to a cosmetic dermatology clinic for my beauty. I don’t really have anywhere to spend the money.
I just want to save it.
What would make a papa (a male supporter) happy for me to spend the money I receive through papa-katsu on?
There are hardly any women who love designer brands, go to host clubs, and have a mooching boyfriend on the side.
Someone like you is perfectly normal—that’s how it is for most people.
For the record, I don’t even go to a cosmetic dermatology clinic. I’m almost 50, so maybe I should start doing at least that much.

I’m Aya, a female member.
One papa (a male supporter) told me, “You don’t spend any money, do you, [my name]? I’m giving you money, so you should spend more.”
He probably prefers women who work hard and aren’t afraid to spend money. There are plenty of papas like that, so don’t worry.

Seattle here.
I’d say saving money.
There were three people who saved over 10 million yen, and I was happy to see them use that money to attend nursing school and become nurses. There was also one person who became a pilot.

Many women also do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) to save money.
If you say you want to buy designer goods or spend money on hosts, some men may assume you’re a big spender who will ask for a lot, and may be put off.
I don’t think that many people really care how you use the money they give you.

So your goal in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) isn’t money, right?
Still, if you receive an allowance as a byproduct, putting it into savings might be a good option.
But if there isn’t anything in particular you want, investing it could also be a valuable learning experience.
Even if you happen to lose some, that’s part of the learning process. If it grows, it can help prepare you for the future.
I’m sure your papa (a male supporter) would be happy to explain how it works, too.

I’m a male member, and my username is Paper Airplane.
Someone like you can actually be a great match.
Not being interested in brands or having anything in particular you want is a good thing. If you’re compatible with a man—including in terms of values—you may find that you’re a perfect fit for each other.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from the president’s office.
Rather than having a specific preference for what the money is used for, I think more people simply don’t want it spent on things they consider wasteful.
Spending it on hosts or lavishing it on another man might seem wasteful to them. It may feel necessary to the woman herself, but I don’t think men tend to see it that way.
That said, I think most people take the view that she can spend the money however she wants once she’s received it.

I’m Shingo Lee, a column writer.
Saving money is important, but saving excessively is a bad habit many Japanese people have. This is just my personal opinion, but I think saving ¥500,000 as a student or more than ¥2 million in your twenties, without any particular purpose, is excessive. Anything beyond that should go toward self-investment or asset management.
I don’t question how the money I give is spent, but I’m happy when it’s used for self-investment. What would make me happiest is knowing that, even if she were to find herself on her own someday, she had used the money to gain the experience and knowledge needed to live while doing what she loves.
Going to school or classes, reading books—things like that. I’m glad when the money is spent on those kinds of things.
After I’m gone, I won’t be able to protect even the people who mean the most to me. So I’d be happy if she became someone who would be all right even after I’m gone.
