I’m a female member in my mid-20s.
This content is machine-translated.
Because my parents spent quite a lot on my education, men I meet often say, “Aren’t you basically a rich daddy’s daughter?” when I tell them where I went to school from junior high onward.
Then, almost every time, they follow up with things like, “Why is a girl from a well-off family doing this? Why don’t you just ask your parents for money?”
It’s true that my parents are probably somewhat well-off, but that’s their money, not mine. Why do they expect me to rely on it?
If I were struggling just to get by, I could understand turning to my parents. But I do papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) because I want to enjoy some luxuries. I even say that in my profile video.
Wouldn’t it be impossible to ask someone important to you for money like that? If it’s your parents, you could probably tell them a convincing lie and they’d give you the money without asking for anything in return. But they worked hard to earn that money, so I can’t lie just to fund some pointless luxuries.
What do people who tell a working adult to “just ask your parents for money” actually feel when they say that?
