A papa I’ve been seeing for years is taking me to DisneySea during my birthday month. I’m really looking forward to it.
This content is machine-translated.
It suddenly got me wondering—does anyone else go to Disney or other theme parks as part of their papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan)?
Don’t you ever feel out of place and get stared at by people around you??
It’s Me here!
Since we’d been stuck doing stay-at-home dates throughout the pandemic, we went to Disneyland for an overnight date in June.
I’ve been seeing my favorite papa for two years now, but since he’s two decades younger than me, I’m very conscious of my appearance so we don’t stand out in a bad way.
It’s a MUST for both of us to dress appropriately for Disneyland.
The other important thing is that we both enjoy Disney. If one person is putting up with it or simply going along with the other, that can actually be the biggest reason you look out of place.
As long as you keep those two points in mind, I think you can blend in naturally even with a significant age gap.
And yes, we genuinely had an amazing time together♡
By the way, on our way home from Disneyland, I got this request:
“I want to go to DisneySea sometime this year too!”
So please go and have the time of your lives together♪ ( ´▽｀)

You can’t know what other people are thinking unless you’re that person yourself, so there’s no point worrying about it.
The reason you worry that people around you might think you’re doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) is that you already know the answer—that you are. Other people hardly notice or think about what kind of relationship you two have in the first place, so there’s no need to worry.

I think it probably depends on what your usual dates are like. If people have always looked at you normally, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
Besides, it’s the happiest place on earth, so I think you should just enjoy yourselves without worrying about it.

You see couples with large age gaps, right?
I think it’s rude to assume it’s papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) based on appearances when you don’t know anything about their relationship. If it were me, I’d just enjoy myself without worrying about it.

Yes, it happens. A woman invited me out. Whether people notice probably depends on how the two of you look together. We spend time together assuming others probably think there’s some kind of backstory.
