I'm a college student.

I’m a male member, going by “Paper Airplane.” Some girls talk to me about other papas, ask for advice on finding one, or vent about their experiences. Some are in high demand, while others don’t get many offers. Either way, I don’t really see them as anything more than that. I don’t cut them off, but I don’t particularly feel like meeting them either.

I’m Osaka, a male member. That’s not something I do, lol. Even if they asked me to, I’d just play dumb and say I didn’t know what they meant. Ah— I hadn’t read the other answers yet (sweat). There’s nothing to add, lol.

I’m Kazu, a male member. We don’t half-live together, and I’m not going as far as looking for other papas for her, but we do talk about how she could get more offers, and I listen to her concerns about other men.

I’m Date◎Yume, a male member. > Do you look for other papas for the person you’re dating? I don’t help her find other papas, but I do give her advice on how to judge whether a boyfriend is right for her, like, “Someone like this would be good…” That said, I have no problem with her looking for other papas. I suppose it depends on the woman, but she quit after a little while. In that sense, she may not have been all that proactive… I guess it really comes down to the individual, whether male or female（笑).

I’m Fuu, a columnist. That papa is incredibly considerate. Supporters that devoted are pretty rare. I’ve given advice about someone’s profile when they asked because they weren’t getting many offers, but I’ve never gone that far. I don’t get possessive either. When one of my favorite women reactivated her profile, I told her, “You’ll probably be busy this month since you’ll be getting lots of offers, so don’t feel like you have to meet me. I’m rooting for you—I hope you get tons of offers.” When she said she wanted to see me, I thought, “Ah, I’ve survived,” haha.

Do you really want to meet a papa like that? Are you really envious of being practically half-living together or being given a place to live? Can’t you make another papa into a generous (well-paying) papa while being satisfied on your own? As for introducing a boyfriend or a marriage partner, my cynical side sees it as the kind of “good person” act that hides a sense of superiority. Just thinking about marrying someone who connected with a person they were involved with for money gives me the chills. This is just my personal opinion. I’ve actually met men who had a parental, protective attitude. Sometimes they only had dinner with the woman, and sometimes they supported her without even meeting her, which I thought was amazing. But having an adult relationship (intimate) and then calling yourself a parent or protector feels like self-justification and is completely untrustworthy. Again, this is just my personal opinion. I hope you, the questioner, can meet a truly good papa. Akari

I’m a losing guy among the male members. Ace: We’re looking for a boyfriend who could potentially become her marriage partner. I’m planning to introduce her to someone this month. Monthly-arrangement girls: I’m not doing anything in particular for them, and I don’t intend to help them in the future either. The girl I’m keeping on the side (pay-per-meeting): I’m fairly proactive about helping her find other papas. That’s how things are in my case. I treat Ace almost like a daughter, so helping her look for a marriage partner feels perfectly natural to me. Once she gets a boyfriend, I’ll part ways with her while continuing to support her behind the scenes. As for the monthly-arrangement girls, the allowance I give them by myself is enough, so I don’t do anything in particular for them. I feel like I’ll get criticized again for calling her “the girl I’m keeping on the side,” but I don’t give her enough that she can get by on my allowance alone. So instead, I encourage her to find other papas, and when she gets a date arranged, I help her think through how to approach it. For advice on how to turn someone into a generous (well-paying) papa, I refer to answers from Aya and others and tell her things like, “Apparently, this is what you should do.” In a sense, I value the girl I’m keeping on the side even more than the monthly-arrangement girls. Since I can’t support her consistently, I do everything I can for her as a substitute, so to speak. Of course, there’s also a selfish motive: I figure this might increase the chances of her keeping me around as one of her papas.＾＾； In short, I try to maintain relationships with all the women in a way that benefits both sides. Right now—as in, today—I’m working with a popular girl I’m keeping on the side to come up with a strategy for helping her land another papa, while also sharing the progress with our club representative. I’m helping her create a good profile and even writing the LINE messages she sends to potential partners. More than half of my motivation may come from a desire to atone, so it’s not exactly a beautiful story. P.S. Mac told me about Win’s phrase, “You get to enjoy it twice,” and Win was absolutely right. When you can develop feelings for her like a father would, you get to enjoy it twice. I think that’s why the allowance I gave Sue kept increasing. Also, isn’t the papa of this questioner’s best friend actually Mac? (lol) I feel that his affection for the women he dates is very similar to Mac’s. I have ulterior motives one way or another, so I’m hardly someone to praise, but I’d like to reach Mac and Win’s level someday.

I’m Flag Maker, a column writer. No, you really need to think a little more calmly about how this ends. Say a papa like that does come along. How are you planning to break things off with him in the end? Do you really think you can just explain things normally, have him say, “You did a great job with papa-katsu,” and wrap it up with a neat little happily-ever-after? Honestly, in most cases, you should assume it won’t end that smoothly. You need to think about that part too. Probably. Women who are genuinely popular with men tend to be pretty levelheaded about this. They ask their partners for only what they want, and absolutely refuse anything beyond that scope—so things don’t get complicated later. For your own sake, it’s better not to ask for anything extra.

I’ll answer as Maezawa from the president’s office as well. I’m not entirely sure, but if a woman is struggling with things like how to become a better woman or how to be liked by her papa (a male supporter), some papas may offer advice. That said, some papas give unsolicited advice, which women apparently find difficult to deal with. There are also papas who try to have a woman all to themselves without offering enough allowance to justify exclusivity, and that can become another source of frustration for her. I think it’s simply that some papas genuinely have their partner’s best interests at heart.
