So the info Faboo posted up piqued my interest and I started to dig in to what was up on the compensated dating Twittersphere.
Threw some time at it over the weekend and now I feel like I've got a pretty good stock of info for you guys.
So first things first, almost all the accounts used in this are basically throwaway accounts (both for the punters and the girls) - nobody uses their "real" Twitter account. So if you find a girl that you're interested in you pretty much need to act quickly - most of the accounts I saw had been made in the last few days and even the "oldest" ones were from July or August. Turnaround is very high.
There are a LARGE amount of scam accounts and general shadiness. The most common seems to be "girls" asking for people to send them pre-payments (in iTunes cards, Amazon gift cards, etc) and then disappearing. I came across some posts by punters calling them out on this - posting shots of them "at the meeting point" that were clearly taken at the wrong time of day, etc or punters calling out accounts that had scammed them (usually with a note that they were stupid to fall for something so obvious). There are also a lot of very obvious fake accounts (numerous accounts posting the exact same info with a few details changed over the course of a couple hours, etc).
There are also lots of underage girls (or people claiming to be underage girls) casting about for dates. Sometimes they will list their ages in their profiles and other times they will just put their school year (JC = junior high / JK = high school. JK2 would be second year high school or 16/17 years old, etc) Searching around a bit it seems like the police are definitely active in investigating this stuff online so be SURE you check the age of any girls you are getting in contact with. Otherwise you might be in for a meeting with the Japanese version of Chris Hansen.
Most of the girls casting for dates in Tokyo seem to want to meet in Shibuya/Ikebukuro. Not coincidentally there are also lots of Deai Cafes in these areas... I would not be surprised at all if most of the girls posting stuff up on Twitter are also in Deai Cafe or the like.
Most of the girls are looking for one off encounters and many state in their profiles that they won't exchange contact/LINE/etc. Some are looking for "papa-katsu"(sugar relationships) but they seem to be in the minority.
The general going rate seems to be 20,000 for covered FS with uncovered or shooting inside going for higher rates. Some girls clearly state that they are only up for covered FS. You also see ads for "puchi", which stands for anything other than FS (usually HJ/BJ) and can run anywhere from 5000 on up. The guy is always expected to cover the hotel and some girls want other compensation (transportation costs, etc) as well. There are profiles out there requesting less but to be honest almost all of them seemed very suspect...
This is obviously ALL in Japanese. If you don't have decent written Japanese comprehension/composition skills you're not going to get far - I don't think Google Translate, etc will cut it here as there are a ton of abbreviations/slang used and most of the time the actual profile info (including services, fees, etc) are posted as screenshots - not text - to avoid the 140 character limit so you can't copy and paste it. Almost all of the actual communication is done via DM on Twitter.
That's the basic information. I threw an account together and used it to get in touch with a few girls - I'll post my experiences with them below:
Girl 1: Self described as "menhera" (mentally unstable) in her profile but looked pretty cute. DMed her and set up a general time and area for meeting along with the requirements (cost, etc). At the very end before finalizing the meeting I politely said "I need to tell you I'm a white guy. Is that OK?" and immediately received a reply "DIE! DIE!" followed by her blocking me. Hahaha... not shitting you guys at all. So yeah... menhera is correct.
Girl 2: Didn't have many photos up but had her basic measurements along with a (partially obscured) shot of her face and quite a bit of info - she'd been using the profile for a while. Cleared the foreigner issue with her (no problem as long as I could speak Japanese in person). Arranged to meet up in a few hours and I headed out. I arrived at the meeting place, let her know I was there and waited. She messaged me saying she needed some more time to get ready and was currently changing in the bathroom of a department store on the other side of the station - she wanted me to head over there and meet her. I did so and was waiting... and waiting... eventually about 30~40 minutes after we'd initially agreed to meet she showed up. I shouldn't have waited. Her profile said she was 45 kg but if she was anywhere under 65 I would be shocked. But I'm an idiot so I went with her to the hotel anyway... Not gonna lie, she was kind of gross all around. We got into it but I was just not feeling it and called it off after 10 or 15 minutes. I 100% should have bailed as soon as I saw her, but that's on me. Not a rad experience.
Girl 3: Lots of photos up, lots of info, solid profile. No problem with a foreigner. We were exchanging DMs back and forth up until I reached the meeting spot. She said she would head out and be there soon. Waited... and waited... and waited... After 2o minutes or so I bounced - no interest in repeating the last experience. I never got another DM from her - I'm guessing she scoped me out and didn't like how I looked? Dunno. No cash lost, though, so no big deal.
Girl 4: Similar to the last one - profile and account all looked solid. DMed her about meeting up and went back and forth a few times about place and timing but when I asked her if she was cool with a foreigner I didn't hear back from her. Waited 10 minutes or so and sent another DM basically saying "So I guess that's a no?" and she replied back saying she was "Allergic to white people" which I have to admit was a pretty funny way of ending the conversation.
As with anything YMMV - maybe there are some super QTs out there and I just had bad luck.
That said the last few days didn't entice me to spend much more time on Twitter trying for P4P - there are so many other simpler, safer and more certain options it just doesn't seem like its worth the effort. At 20,000 plus hotel you could probably just hit up a low end soap if you really wanted FS and if you're in the market for anything else there are a ton of other providers out there that can provide the same service for the same/less money and with more accountability in case things go south.
If you've got a real desire for amateurs it seems like Deai Cafes would be a better option (although I haven't tried them myself) - at least there you can actually see the girl before you approach her and if you get shot down you know right then and there instead of taking a train across town and waiting around for nothing. Some reviews/experiences I've read said that there are definitely "pros" working the Deai Cafe as well but I get the impression that there's also no small amount of pros posting on Twitter as amateurs. At the cafe you also know for a fact that she's legal, which is a very big plus.
