I came across some videos regarding Asian culture and the phenomenon around paying for a women's non-sexual attention.

In Japan, men can pay to stare longily into a women's eyes or just to cuddle, I find it fascinating how the men in western culture operate as opposed to eastern culture, paying a women just to be nice to me sounds insane! But I suppose this is just a reflection of how emotional detached men and women are becoming? or perhaps mostly just men as they are the primary consumers of these services.

What I also found interesting was how a Japanese women in this industry stated how she just wanted help lonely men feel some kind of love, while in this video, this women laughs about it!

Do we think this kind of thing will start happening in the west and affect the dating process between men and women?
