    It gives me the sense that Japan has a lonely society and people don't go outdoors for activities

    I would rather be liked and loved for my true self or not at all. What an artificial ecosystem of transactions and lies. The downfall of love. The downfall of truth. The downfall of dignity. The downfall of sincerity. The downfall of connection.

      ​@@manco828I did not talk about sincerity, another poster mentioned that. I would like to say that 'host/hostess' clubs are particular to Japan
      This is because of their culture. I do not mean any bad by it. 😊

      Young women who can't pay the tab often end up becoming prostitutes and working in the adult film industry. Before 2023 Japan's age of consent was 13 years, they changed it to 16 years in 2023. Most global north country's have over 18 age of consent, country with below 18 years are normally male dominant society's

    I can see it going like this:
    - Women felt it was sexist for there to be host clubs where the women are the ones who are being paid by the male guests who go on dates with them in and/or outside of the club. Women felt this was a degrading position like pr0st1tut10n, so they made the male equivalent.
    Women are not known to make as much money as men do, so they declared that it was sexist to expect women to pay the same prices that men would pay with women at host clubs when the men are the guests. So, they lowered prices. That wasn't enough. Women weren't coming in as much. So, they realized women were willing to do things like pay in installments, or run up a tab, which they initially felt was similar to the subscription fees they pay for things in life.
    Women being women are known to have more romantic feelings. They drink alcohol and can forget that they are not on a real date with someone. These blurred lines make it difficult to understand the woman is just being used.
    Females working in certain host clubs are required to go on a certain number of dates a week with men and can do it outside the bar, so it is nothing new to have relations outside of work hours/locations.
    The problem here is that woman have strong romantic feelings and act differently in that manner. What I believe started off as a way to make things equal between men and women by providing host club with males I believe winds up proving that indeed there are difference between men and women, and it's not sexist to not have male and female versions of everything. Not having host clubs with male hosts is more protective toward women than sexist.
