Are there any women who are popular with men their own age or one or two years younger at university, and have lots of female friends, but aren't popular at all when it comes to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)? For example, they don't get many offers, or men lose interest quickly even when they do.

I’m Aya, a female member. If you’re popular in papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), I feel like you’d probably be fairly popular with people your own age too. I haven’t really seen many cases where there’s such a gap… If that does happen, I think the marketing is probably off.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I think they do exist. Even among men of the same age group, someone may be popular with one type of man but not another. For example, I imagine a flashy playboy and a serious, straight-laced guy would have different preferences. That said, getting bored with someone quickly after making an offer is a separate issue from whether she’s popular or not. If someone loses interest quickly, it’s not a matter of personal preference—it’s because there isn’t enough substance.
