Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
In Japan, renting boyfriends by rich working women for an evening is a booming business.
In a world where we have seen women being rented by men for pleasure, the women of Japan seems to be reversing the trend.
In Japan, there are what are called the Host Bars, where rich and educated women come to meet guys, who entertain them for the evening. They converse over food and drink. It is a platonic relationship that they share over an evening. The owner of such a bar says that men are groomed for two years to fit in as a host.
In this video, you will meet the hosts as well as the customers.
In hindsight, it also makes one wonder, how as human beings we have become lonely, so much so that just to have a platonic relationship for an evening, someone has to rent another human being.
With so much technology to connect us, it’s somewhat heart breaking to see, if this is where we are headed.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
