On the Uber thing: it's one of those things where it is very easy to do your part in forcing a change: if you do not like how Uber treats its contractors, you can just use one of the myriad other minicab/taxi services, who work based on a different, more traditional business model.

I just try to avoid them all.

That sounds...lame.

I don't think liking having pretty girls around while drinking is all that unusual, even if you don't end up getting your dick wet.

Paying people to watch you get drunk seems kind of weird.

Are you 'mental?

Bar patrons/bartenders do that dynamic all of the time.

Not that different from going to Hooters et. al. You don't get to boink the waitresses, but you can look at them and they'll pretend to find your inane banter amusing.

You don't usually run up a bill in the thousands of dollars at Hooter's, though.

I don't get it either.
But it makes a little more sense when you think of it in the context of a middle aged salary man whose entire life is his work and who hasn't even spoken to his wife, with whom he is still living, for 10 years.

[Monoriu]

I also find it odd.  I guess the night clubs/hostess bars operate at a level where the customers can legitimately claim that they are there for business/building relationships with work colleagues reasons and they didn't cheat on their wives.

Not all hostess bars are that expensive.

The thousands of dollars (and hundreds of thousands of dollars during the 90s bubble in Tokyo) is taking the concept and upscaling it to a prestige symbol. But the basic concept of "guys like being around pretty women who act like they find them interesting" is similar.
