My close friend may have found out that I do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
This content is machine-translated.
On the way home, I was talking with my friend about how hard it is being short on money, and they said to me, “Introduce me to someone who’ll give me money.”
I haven’t told the people around me that I do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan).
I also work part-time to keep up appearances.
But I do spend a lot on my clothes and belongings, so maybe they assumed I have a papa (a male supporter).
If one of your close friends were doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) or in an adult relationship (intimate), would you be put off? Would you distance yourself from them?

Why not test them by answering with a question of your own?
“Have you never met anyone who gives you money?”
“If you’re interested, try papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and tell me about it.”
If they actually start papa-katsu, you could become papa-katsu buddies.

By normal standards, they probably look down on it.
It’s that female intuition—you already pretty much know it’s a yes, but you casually ask anyway, and their reaction confirms it…
Also, there’s a good chance they already see you as a papa-katsu girl.

Any girl with a normal perspective would probably be completely put off. I felt the same way when I was a student. These days, though, it doesn’t bother me at all…

From the way you’ve described it, I think there’s a good chance your friend was only asking half-jokingly, like, “Introduce me to someone who’ll give me money!”
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being active in a dating club, but you may have some feelings of guilt about it, which could be making you more sensitive to comments like that.
Try not to worry about it too much and continue treating your friend as you always have!
That said, if they ask you for specific details, I agree with Kazu that it really depends on the person.
Some friends may distance themselves, while others might say, “Actually, me too!” and you could end up having a wonderful relationship where you can complain and vent to each other.

It really depends on the friend, so it’s hard to say. From the conversation in your question, I get the impression that your friend suspects you might be doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and was asking to confirm it. It could be a leading question, but if you tell them you are, it might also be an opportunity to become close enough to talk about papa-katsu openly.
There’s no way to know which it is, so you’ll have to decide whether to take the risk or play it safe.
