    Supposedly, this is a lot of the job of prostitutes now.

    Although strangely, the specific example I’m reminded of is Manny in Grim Fandango luring the security guard to a back room, only for her to want to give him her life story.

      Can confirm, but it’s worth noting that lots of non-prostitute women do this for the men in their life, too.
