It’s Joe.
I’ve heard there are a lot of girls who make up stories, but Joe suspects that isn’t necessarily the case.
I have several friends who are university professors, and they say, “Compared with when we were students, there are far more students nowadays who pay at least part of their own tuition.” Apparently, rising tuition fees are one reason. For example, I was shocked to learn that my alma mater—a modest regional national university—now charges over ¥530,000 in tuition. That’s eight times what it was when I attended. It has clearly risen far more than other prices, too.
For the record, I initially received financial support from my family, but since many of my classmates paid their own tuition—especially those who lived at home—I started paying at least my tuition myself partway through. Pretty admirable, right? (There’s no way I could manage it at today’s prices.)
In short:
Sometimes a lie ends up becoming the truth. Getting overly worked up about it seems rather immature.

There are probably people whose parents haven’t supported them financially. Even so, deciding that everything is a lie feels incredibly narrow-minded on your part.
There are even cases where parents kill their own children. If someone said to you, “You actually killed your child too, didn’t you?” wouldn’t that upset you?
Once you’ve reached a certain age, I feel you should be able to understand that all kinds of things happen in life.
Try to broaden your perspective a little and learn to accept that people’s circumstances can be very different.

I’m not registered to pay tuition. I joined because my husband sometimes doesn’t give me enough for living expenses, and to find the right one for me.
It may be rare these days, but I think joining to pay tuition is a valid reason too.

According to the “FY2018 Student Life Survey,” the average percentage of university students receiving scholarships is 47.5%.
About half of all university students have scholarships.
Some girls may be lying about it, while others may be telling the truth.
Personally, I don’t mind even if a girl lies about having a scholarship. To me, it seems like a harmless little lie…

I’ve also heard the sad story of a former papa who was told he had to make payments supposedly for tuition, so I wonder if this is fairly common. Especially lately, the media often focuses on “young people struggling to repay student loans,” and I think some young women may use that as an excuse after seeing those stories.
Fortunately, I did well enough on my entrance exams to have my tuition waived for all four years, and my parents covered my living expenses, so I never used that as a reason for papa-katsu. I figured that once I became close with a papa, I’d probably talk about things like my parents’ jobs, so any lies would eventually be found out. Besides, I felt embarrassed lying about why I wanted the money in the first place.
That’s why I suspect girls who tell lies that are easily exposed probably never intended to get deeply involved with their papas to begin with. A lot of papas are probably easily deceived too, and perhaps they’re satisfied as long as they can get a good amount of money out of them in the short term.
Come to think of it, papas also tend to be vague about their reasons, saying things like, “A friend introduced me, so I joined on a whim.” They’d never say, “I want to be intimate with young women badly enough to pay for it.” I feel like it’s kind of the same thing.

I do think some of these young women may have a somewhat naive understanding of things, but I’ve always assumed that it was normal to put your children through college or vocational school—even if that meant using student loans.
Many younger employees are still repaying student loans, so I never assumed that their parents had necessarily paid all their tuition.
As for how they use their allowance, I don’t really care. That said, I have no interest in handing over an allowance only to be told lies, so I don’t like lying either.
