It kind of sort of did happen, just not in the "Bob actually handed a bunch of $20s to them like they were street prostitutes" way.To the extent some people think it did?
Natasha was basically a tard wrangler/babysitter and Bob literally gave Chris money to give to her for escorting him to the bus stop. Even then he wasn't considered capable even by his parents of completing that journey successfully. He thought she was his friend and didn't grasp that he was just paying what was basically a babysitter (or that he was not considered capable of getting to the bus stop on his own).
And then there's the "negotiation" as a way of getting "friends" in high school, and apparently Bob actually did hassle the principal into trying to get his tardson some friends, and this actually did end up in the gal pals sometimes letting him sit with them at lunch.
This seriously warped his view of relationships.
Chris wanted friends, but really had no concept of what friendship even was. If he'd had to figure it out on his own to some extent, he might have made some actual friends. Probably not because he was always a selfish prick, but there's no way this made it better.
So you'll never fix this (like the reverse mortgage story that never goes away) but seriously, it's not completely false.
