          Well she was a 17 year old, dressed as an adult and was trying to seduce house. And house does the right thing by diagnosing her instead of taking advantage of her.

              House does the right thing only after being whipped by Cutty.

              Ehh he was already sort of aware when she asks why him why he thinks she likes him.

              The gist of that episode was more that House was curious as to why she took a liking to him and knew that it’d push everyone’s buttons so he let her.

              No, you are just over eager to slap the pedo label on someone even when people are explaining why it isn’t correct.

              House was clearly just messing with everybody. He repeatedly rebuffs her advances. The only part properly creepy is the scene in the parking lot when the girl is leaving and has her jeans so low that her underwear is exposed and house openly leers at that. The rest of it is him just being flattered.

              A far more better example of pedo like behaviour is the episode where they treat the teenage supermodel

      I haven’t seen all the episodes but I think the underlying point was he is an asshole with actual good intentions underneath. Like he doesn’t care about the BS of being friendly, he just wants to get down to business of helping people.

        It wasn’t about helping people, it was about finding the solution to puzzles and proving that his solution was right. If that just happened to involve helping people, so be it.

          No there are times he has genuinely helped people for no other reason than it was the right thing to do. Wilson puts it best when he says house is an asshole but a noble one

        Most of the time he didn’t even have good intentions though. What motivated him more than anything was being right about everything. His ego always took precedence to anything else.
