Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hillcountry: Boston’s combat zone strip joints were famous for this. Strippers would make the rounds between sets and hustle for drinks…bought them a drink now and then if they were cute. Got some cock rubs for my trouble! 😛 this was many years ago. Did not know that was the name of Boston’s seedy section. Now I know where they got the name for the Combat Zone from Fallout 4.

You wound either buy those ridiculously overpriced drinks for the chick, or just pay the bar fine to get the girl for X amount of hours. We also hit up the YMCA building area right off the Star Ferry pier in Kowloon, I think we got run out of the Mad Dog pub there. Also remember the China Jump bar, went there every time I stopped in HK which was often back then. And no matter what food we ordered, it always seemed to come out to like 7 HK dollars. Best dim sum I've had in my life was in Kowloon. Also remember Stanley Market and Victoria Peak. |

In the western side of Suzhou in the karaoke bars and k-pop places this is common. Paid companions. Two managers always at the bar. One watching bars/waiting staff and the other watching the girls.

Been in Japan… but I’m not into buying a drink for them. Seems sad, but some of the guys I was with bought them. None of them ever got anything but expensive drinks for the girls.

This sounds about as stupid as giving girls money on Chaterbate. Why don't you just go buy a piece of pussy with that money? I mean, you can choke the chicken for free without giving them a dime. Want more girlfriend experience that that? Just go rent a ho for an hour.

I haven't been to one since I first arrived on Okinawa in 1978. I guess I just had to figure it out, but after that no interest.
I did get dragged to one in the Philippines with some guys I was going through some company training course with down there in 1996. Just not my thing. Wouldn't go even if somebody else was paying. |

Lived in Hawaii for 20 years, you know I damn well I did! Between them and strip clubs in my early 20's they helped pull me out of my shell. The best were the buy me drinky, Karaoke,Pupu places. My mother was visiting one year and I had a mixed club of trades guys, so after work mom comes to the base to pick me up in the heap,
I think we were all trying to feel each other out and just have fun! So we go to a place about 3 miles from base. About the time we get there dark clouds are comming in hot! Just get inside and a torrential rain storm opens up. We get a booth and get get our drink and food order in. About 10 minutes later boom! Power out. Soon little floating tea candles come out with all of the girls like a Hollywood movie. Then they kind of gathered up and started leading sing along songs! Made my mothers trip and she still brings it up years later. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RayFromJersey: Ah yes, izakayas, love em. Definitely one of the best things about Japan that I wished were more commonplace here. Not just the establishments themselves, but the culture as well. Instead, here we get bars and pubs with tons of TV's that throw you wings, burgers, pizza, and fried food, then hope you leave asap. It's just not the same  Yeah, I always thought that you could do well to start up an American Izakaya chain of restaurants. Focus on college towns in places where most of your customers can walk home. The menu wouldn't have to be just Japanese food - like the Izakayas here, you could offer french fries and other finger food. Maybe pizza by the slice or sliders. For those who haven't been to Japan, Izakayas are Japanese restaurants generally for groups of people where the idea is to order food to be shared by everybody in your group, and alcoholic drinks. They almost always have a Nomihodai (all you can drink - which often downgrades when your waiter/waitress is too busy to bring them as fast as you can drink them) option. You never order everything all at once, but continue ordering food and drink as long as you are there. In the bigger cities these generally have a two hour limit - but if you start late enough and there aren't many customers as your two hours expires they will usually let you stay longer - as long as you are still ordering. It is one of the few places in Japan where you might end up talking with some other random people you just met. |

Not unusual in business functions for a woman to pay for a man to be on her arm at the event. Past that it's up to the two people involved. Sometimes it goes further, sometimes it's just arm candy for the event or have someone that can speak the language of the event and such.

Some Joe threw an Arty simulator in the 2 Bunnies club on Hay st. back in the early 1980's when Hay st. still was Hay st after he got jammed buy them charging him a couple $100 for "Champagne" for one of the hostesses. It blew a chicks hand off or mangled it up real good when she tried to chuck it outside and it blew. .

Because of my job I have been to the most horrible hostess bars in Japan and the best, hundreds of them. The Philipines, China, Brazil, and Singapore are all similar but Japan is more high-end and not geared towards paying for sex. The good hostess bars here have strict rules on sex, because sex is bad for business. They are very entertaining if you don't expect anything out of it. You are paying for company and entertainment. Some of the women are super hot, some are just good at making you laugh. Some are just sad.
The really high-end ones in Ginza are great and look like opulent hotels, but they can cost 10s of thousands a night. The women look like they are going to the oscars and the booze is all top shelf. The thing is you are paying for entertainment, so often the cheaper ones are way more fun and relaxed. It's like driving a Miata, or a Ferrari. It's a very interesting and somewhat ancient business model. There are many aspects of it that are similar to earning a commission for high-end sales roles, but there is a psychological aspect of "catching" a rich guy and keeping him your customer. The bars have strategy meetings on catching and keeping customers, and there are consultants who teach hostesses. It's a lot of fun to go with someone who knows the system and hopefully the girls. A lot of women have taken me to hostess bars, which is always interesting. I've been to host bars (aimed at women) and the transvestite or new-half bars, they can be really fun. My friends own them or are former hostesses, I have so many stories. One of my friends was the top-earning hostess in Japan for a while, she can wrap almost any man around her finger. She has destroyed many marriages and broken hundreds of hearts. I almost never had to pay, compensated dating is not my thing but I understand why many guys (and girls) love it, and it's a big part of the business culture here in Japan. It is ingrained into society and goes back a long long time. |

It's like driving a Miata, or a Ferrari. I do not envy your having to get dragged to these establishments for work. No matter how high end the place might be you have to be on your P's & Q's when drinking with clients and co-workers. I was lucky that my time doing sales was as a sales support engineer so that kind of "closing" function was not expected from me. But, yeah, the ladies who work the Ginza establishments are VERY easy on the eyes. I really don't know if COVID has changed things there - but I remember having to be in and around Ginza (towards the Shinbashi side) between about 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM - and you would see many stunning examples of the female form dressed to the nines. I was told a rule of thumb for Gunza hostess clubs; the lower end places (still extravagantly expansive by American standards) will have their name on the sign outside written in Romaji (English letters), the middle range places have their name written in Katakana, and the high end places have their name in Kanji. |

We have some tapas bars/restaurants (basically restaurants that only serve small plates for sharing) near me, but again they're just restaurants and don't offer the same experience as izakayas. It doesn't help that a lot of them are also BYOB. I think due to laws and regulations it's probably a bad business model here. My friend from high school owns a small bar and told me he needs to host as many special events as possible to make money; stuff like bands, food trucks, tournaments, etc. that will bring in crowds. |
