Only in Japan would you find something like male host-club workers, who are paid up to $500 by women who want to be chatted up my a charismatic young man over a bottle of  champagne.

 The Great Happiness Space - Tale of an Osaka Love Thief (2006) is a documentary on the lives of “host club” workers in Japan — sharp-dressed, good-looking 20something guys who are paid to make women feel loved. No, not to perform sex acts, but to feel cared for.
