The whole show outside of the barely plausible medical drama is about how awful House is as a human.
At every opportunity they go out of their way to spell out how horrible he is. He’s an egomaniacal drug addict with daddy issues and a borderline pedophile.
The most fun thing watching the show is counting the number of crimes he commits an episode.
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.
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.
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.
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.

If I had to choose between you and House though… Sorry bro, it’s entertaining TV.
I’m not saying it’s a bad show, quite the opposite.
People who don’t grasp that he’s a terrible person but a great character just annoy me.
Pedophile??
There’s an episode where a teenage girl is into him and he is quite obviously interested.
Other characters “get in the way” and stop him from doing anything but the intent was there.

Im not interested in quibbling over details, she was clearly represented as being under age and all parties knew it.
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.
