I agree with Winston's opinion about Taiwan.

Hi everyone, I am a Taiwanese guy. And I hope you guys can understand my bad English. 
First of all, I find this article written by Winston is very accurate.
Taiwan is a one hell of social nightmare where young people are very cliquish, introverted and toward people they don't know cold.
From my personal experience, if you move to a new enviroment(Like from high school to universty) alone, then you have to suffer from one year or two years of loneliness until you are fortunate enough to join a clique. Because they usually like to stick with their own clique and refuse to meet new friend. And they will look down on you and see you as a loser if you ask them to let you join their clique directly. Like my current situation, I am now a graduate student, and I don't belong to any cliques in my current universty. I feel so lonely right now. Write an article like this is the only way to relief my misery. And I can't talk to anyone about this in real life. Because it will makes me sounds like a loser. And everybody will conclude that I don't have social skill.
Actually, I do have social skill. At least, I know how to interact with people. I know how to find topics during conversations. I have sense of humor. But, in Taiwan these skills seems not enough to meet new friends.
As for young women, like Winston mentioned in his article. They are very indirect. If she find you attractive, she won't show you any messages. And try to avoid you when you approaching her. Someone may ask me:" If she don't show any messages, how do you know she find you attractive?" Well, because I'v noticed that she's staring at me and talk to her friends that I'm handsome when I am in distance. But when I try to approach her, she forms an ice barrier and turns her head away.And I'v been asked questions like this countless times: "You are very good looking. Why don't you get a girlfriend? ", "You used to studied too hard. Get a girlfriend and relax yourself.". Man, I really want to get laid. But how? My circle of friends don't have any girls. And none of my male friends can introduce me one(The most common way to meet upside-sex in Taiwan.).
But something I find ironic is that if you are a white guy, they do approach you actively! When I was in my Junior year, I went to a conference with my professor and my classmates. There are a lot of white guys in that conference. And I saw a Taiwanese girl go pick-up those white guys and ask one of them to give her phone numbers. I mean...how can women behave like this? See their own men as inferior. That really makes me sick!
I have a shitty life now. Full of boring schoolworks. No social life. No girlfriend. And I have to pretend that I am very happy about my current situation. Because, if I don't people will think that I must have something wrong. This is absolutely not the life I want. I hate it!
After I finish my master degree, I want to go aboard. Get a sexy blond white chick. And nuke this f***ing island.
