Customers who try to BUY FRIENDSHIP in strip clubs

There may be customers out there who go to strip clubs and spend MONEY on a stripper because they are TRYING to BUY A GIRLFRIEND. There may have been some who have actually succeeded. There are posts on various strip club message boards who may have been written by "men" who think that it is an ACCOMPLISHMENT to BUY A GIRLFRIEND. Are these "men" actually COWARDS? Are they so UNAPPEALING to women that they have to PAY for COMPANIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, and SEX? Are they in DENIAL about themselves?
