How would you feel if the woman you were seeing liked someone around your age? The man I like is only three years younger than my young papa.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s Office, and I’ll answer this too. > Do you ever feel that, from your papa’s perspective, you’re not someone he sees as a romantic interest? Papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan) and romance are fundamentally two different things. That said, some people think, “Even though we’re keeping things transactional because money is involved, I’d still like there to be an emotional connection.” So I’m not sure whether “pseudo-romance” is the right term, but I think some people do want to enjoy the feeling of being in love. Even if he’s that kind of person, based on this conversation, I don’t think many men would feel that you’re not a romantic interest to him. > He said, “Wait… that’s cheap…” I think he probably meant, “Is it really okay to set it that low?” Since money generally wouldn’t be involved in a romantic relationship, he may simply have been commenting on the amount.

I’m Nana Ayase ♡ Why would you tell your papa about other men? Are you trying to one-up him or something? From your papa’s perspective, that comes across as extremely disrespectful.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’m not sure how young the questioner means by “young,” but I’ll assume she’s referring to someone around thirty. When I was around thirty, I think I would have felt jealous if a woman told me about another man around the same age as someone she liked. I’d probably get the impression that I wasn’t a romantic prospect for her. That said, relationships can take many different forms, so I don’t think I’d immediately lose hope. As for “Wait… that’s cheap…,” I think I’d be shocked because, as another papa, I’d been shown the difference in allowance. If the difference were due to factors beyond my control, such as the age gap, I could make excuses to myself. But without anything to fall back on, it might hurt.
