Aren’t you embarrassed to walk next to your papa?
If he’s in his 40s or older, there’s such a big age gap that people obviously just see it as papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), so I’ve already given up caring about it anyway.
But when you’re still at an age where it wouldn’t seem strange for you two to be dating, your papa’s appearance inevitably stands out to you in an unpleasant way.
I’m embarrassed to walk around with him, so I’m thinking it’s probably time to end things. Are you all satisfied with your papa’s looks?
I’m Aya, a female member.
I’m very happy with how my papas look. In fact, the only papa-katsu arrangements that have lasted for years are with papas whose looks I like and who offer a generous allowance. It’s made me realize that, whether at work or in my personal life, putting up with too much isn’t good for you.

About a papa’s appearance（笑）
It’s definitely something you wonder about, isn’t it? If a papa makes you think, “I really can’t do this,” then I agree it’s probably better not to force yourself into an arrangement with him. But as Fuu said, since everyone else may avoid him, it could actually be an opportunity. It’s a difficult call.
I think the men themselves are probably concerned about it too. There’s a significant age gap between me and the women I see, so early on, I once asked one of them, “Do you dislike being seen with me?”
She replied, “When I first saw you, I thought you’d be okay.”
I came to realize that “I thought he’d be okay” is actually very important. It means she didn’t think I was particularly attractive, but I was still within the range she could tolerate. I think that’s a useful standard to keep in mind when meeting a man for the first time.
Don’t push yourself too hard, don’t miss out on opportunities, and try to build arrangements that benefit both sides.

I’ve made a few changes to the question.
This may sound like a strange question, but if you feel comfortable with a papa in his 40s or older, then it seems like you should only date papas who are 40 or above.

If you want to earn allowance efficiently, I think you can make quite a lot by focusing on creepy older men, since there’s less competition.

(It’s a good question—for me.)
That’s why I never walk around town with the women I see.
If we go shopping, I stay about 10 meters away and keep an eye on her.
We even take separate taxis.
I’d never do anything that would embarrass a woman I’m seeing—not in a million years. That’s the absolute basics of being a papa, right?
