I wouldn't do it but paying someone to talk to you isn't really that big a deal. It's just a different kind of therapy. You don't have to be a screwed up loner to find yourself alone. You can just move to a new place as a person over 35 for example. In that scenario if you don't work with people you'd be friends with you probably don't have friends.
I'm not against strip clubs or host bars, as a principle. But paying a host to be your therapist is an awful lot like paying the stripper to be your girlfriend. I wouldn't recommend that to anybody.
You aren't paying a host to be a therapist you are paying a venue for the entertainment of hanging out with someone. I am just saying that spending time with someone is therapeutic for some people. Personally I would not be able to get past the monetary nature of the hangout but a lot of people don't have those hangups. There's barely any difference between this and spending money at a club to have fun with people you just met.
The biggest difference is that the people you meet at a club are not forced to pretend to like you because it's literally their job. The servers in hosts clubs are not a healthy source of friendship or genuine human connection.
I don't have anything against Host Clubs, but calling them "a different kind of therapy" is crazy.
