Hmm, good question. As for me, the things that come to mind now:
1. Charming, makes me feel like a princess. Knows how to compliment a girl, kind of sweet talker but hey, i wanna be swept away if i’m paying (or even if i’m not as a matter of fact but in this case i’ll have it a bit more cheesy and fake). Rather than being funny or interesting the most important talking skill would be that of a Don Juan, knowing how to flatter a woman and make her feel special.
2. Good magic touch skills. I’d like a good massage, especially if he doesn’t look as i hoped for. I’m i’m lonely i want someone who is nice to cuddle and to hold. Those are more important than sex technique. But a guy who knows his oral is attractive as well (i’ve met a host who claimed he never does oral, unbelievably selfish considering the money they receive).
3. Relaxed personality. I don’t mind paying or if there would be extra money needed for extra services or whatever but not someone who constantly needs more and more money than agreed on please.
4. Cute background story. Something like “poor guy from fukushima”, “misunderstood school dropout”, “taking care of his parents”, but not using that story as a scam to get a huge amound of money, just as some kind of explanation of how they got into this. It doesn’t all have to be depressing and desperate, a host told me he used to be hikkomori and that becoming host helped him make friends and get out of his shell and i think that’s inspiring. Overall, i like an underdog who can overcome his trouble at his own strength and asks nothing more of me than supporting him as much as i choose from myself. (Never expected, always appreciated.)
Basically someone who comes off as a smooth person at first but then also shows a bit of a vulnerable side if that makes sense. But i’m wary of things like this. If i p4p i wanna do so by my own choice and not through eigyo and pushing and scams which non delivery host culture seems all about (if i sound like i go a lot, no I don’t and i’m responsible with my money, not a host crazy girl by any means).
