I’m a 45-year-old single mother. Even at my age, men still hit on me and make sexual comments.\r\n\r\nWhile I’m shopping, some men approach me asking if they can buy me underwear, or saying they’ll give me anything I like as a gift if I’ll have tea with them. Others ask if they can see my feet because they have a foot fetish, or make similar comments.\r\n\r\nI assume they approach me because they can’t—or don’t—approach younger women. I can’t talk to anyone about things like this, and I feel depressed when I see women who get hit on being described as easy or unattractive.\r\n\r\nI also receive a lot of invitations from acquaintances, and I’ve started thinking that I might like to try papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) if there are people who genuinely want me.\r\n\r\nIs there still demand for someone my age?\r\n\r\nWould it be difficult to register with a dating club and find arrangements unless I were younger?\r\n\r\nIdeally, I’d like to meet someone who cares about me and whom I can care about in return, rather than having it be a one-time encounter.\r\n\r\nThank you.
