I get cold really easily. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’m Fuu, a column writer. Improving your metabolism and circulation may help relieve sensitivity to the cold. Why not use your papa-katsu allowance to try hot yoga? One of my monthly arrangement partners goes, and she says it makes her skin smoother, helps her lose weight, improves her metabolism, and even relieves stiff shoulders.

Maezawa from the CEO’s Office here as well. > I have really poor circulation and get cold easily. Do you have any recommendations? Poor circulation… It’s a pain, isn’t it? I used to enjoy skiing during the day (old-school, haha), but I wasn’t a fan of night skiing because my hands and feet would get painfully cold. It’s probably something related to your constitution, so I don’t think it’ll improve unless you work on changing that. Other than that, keeping at least your feet nice and warm and fluffy might help a little. Of the thermal socks I’ve tried, Heattech seemed to work best, but even then, I’m not sure it made a huge difference. > My papa is really particular about proper Japanese. Does the impression I give change depending on how I write in Japanese? It does affect the impression, but I feel like the impression you make in person matters more.

I’m in Seattle. It’s because the room temperature is too low. Keep the heat at 25°C 24/7, run a humidifier constantly, and wear slippers or socks. That’s what I do too.

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ Are you perhaps leaving your ankles exposed? When your joints get cold, your whole body can become chilled, making you more likely to catch a cold, feel unwell, or develop a low body temperature. Spread and curl your toes, and of course do the same with your fingers. Rotate your ankles slowly. Toe socks are also good for keeping your feet warm. Even simple stretching gets your blood flowing and helps you warm up. My Japanese may be strange too, but when you use strange Japanese, it reveals your background and makes you seem unintelligent. Please be careful.

I’m Dai, a male member. Do you have poor circulation? Why not ask your papa (a male supporter) to give you an oil massage? If he massages you carefully starting from your feet, I think you’ll warm up and get into a more sensual mood too. Also, speaking Japanese can change the impression you give. Ideally, you start out speaking politely, but gradually let your natural, age-appropriate way of speaking come through.

I’m not really sure about having poor circulation, sorry. I’ll just answer the second half of your question, since I’m a professional. The impression you give changes depending on the Japanese wording you type. For example: “すみません” vs. “すいません” “パパなんです” vs. “パパなのです” In standard Japanese, there are technically correct forms, but in business and papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), people deliberately choose between them depending on who will be reading. The same goes for casual versus formal written language. If you can’t switch between them, you’ll never be able to win a woman over through a letter date. People seem to have mixed opinions about letter dating, but the only reason they fail is that they’re terrible at using Japanese. With advanced training, you can get an A-type woman completely infatuated through letter dating alone—to the point where she brings up an adult relationship (intimate) herself. Even within the same page, I deliberately switch styles depending on the context. Proofreaders flag this kind of thing, but in business I often have exchanges like, “Please don’t change it. Every word is calculated.” Japanese is incredibly deep. You also need to know when to use: “watashi,” “boku,” and “ore.” Don’t people who constantly say “boku” come across as creepy? Sometimes I’ll say “watashi,” occasionally mix in “ore,” and even during dinner dates I use these techniques to unsettle women emotionally. You can’t win a woman over with logic. It’s an art. —A highly trained loser
