Papa katsu is not just for young women.

Recently, for various reasons, it is said that there are an increasing number of women who are doing dad activities even if they are married.

I asked the married women who are daddy activities why.
 

Seeking extramarital affairs
 

"My relationship with my husband has cooled down, so I'm doing dad activities as an extramarital affair partner. My husband is having an affair with a young woman.

However, I can't divorce financially until my child graduates from college, and my husband said, ``You can play as you like.''
 

So I thought about playing with him, but I was reluctant to play with a man I had never met before.

At that time, I happened to know the word papa-katsu, and I realized that many of the people who were doing it were of high social and economic status and had a clear identity.
 

I myself don't feel comfortable playing with young people, so I thought it would be better to have a meal together and give me a little pocket money.

But in my case, it's not that I'm fine with just anyone, but I try to meet only with older dads who persuade me and treat me like a woman.
 

I don't ask for any special allowance, so if you take me to a delicious restaurant and make me feel like a date, it's OK for a taxi fare.

Since I started working as a dad, I started to pay more attention to my appearance, and people around me started to say, ``Recently, you've become pretty.''
 

My husband also noticed the change in me recently, I feel like I've become kinder.

She bought me sweets on the way home the other day, and I wonder if she thinks it's bad that I'm cheating on her.

If my husband stops cheating on me with a young girl and comes back, I think I'll graduate from being a dad (laughs)." (Yuko, 37 years old)
 

Instead of my friend at my husband's transfer destination...
 

"It's been a year since I was transferred due to my husband's work.

As soon as I moved, I got caught up in the corona vortex, so time passed without me being able to make new friends.

I'm from Tokyo, but my friends in Tokyo post lots of delicious lunches and meals on social media, and they seem to be having a lot of fun.
 

I'd like to go out to lunch with my female friends, but I don't have many close friends, so it's difficult to ask her out.
So, when I was looking for someone who lived in the neighborhood to make friends on a matching app, I received a message from a man inviting me to join him as a dad.
 

I was surprised at first, but when I heard about it, he said he would eat and give me pocket money.

I couldn't believe it at first, but when I was told that he would take me to a fancy restaurant that I had wanted to go to for a long time, I was hooked.

It's a little expensive to go by myself, so I thought it would be nice if they would treat me (laughs).
 

So when I actually met him, he was a very gentlemanly dad.

When I heard the story, my dad said that he was working from home due to the corona vortex while he was away from home, but he was tired of eating lunch alone at home.
 

Even if you go out drinking at night, most of the shops are closed now.It seems that he started dad activities to find lunch friends there.
 

I became close with him and now have lunch with him once or twice a month.

They take me to a lot of luxurious shops that I can't afford with my pocket money, and they listen to me like a friend.

It's great because you get paid more.Now, I no longer feel lonely without friends.” (Marika, 32 years old)
 

in conclusion

It seems that there are various reasons and purposes for the married woman's dad life besides the purpose of allowance.

Especially now is the time when it is difficult to meet friends and family due to the corona vortex.
 

While some people tend to feel lonely, it is said that there are women who think that having their dad listen to them and meeting them helps relieve stress.
 

Precisely because it is such a time, I would like to feel a connection with my father, not just a relationship on the spot.

For that reason, PJ, please meet various dads, find out if you can be with them for a long time, and have a wonderful life as a dad.
