Korean Job Discussion Forums

I am a pretty friendly guy.
I have no trouble making friends at home. In fact, I enjoy making friends at random bars, restaurants, etc.

The trouble is that here, I have no interest in doing so. The only person I want to talk to is my girlfriend. After school, I go home, or go shopping. At home, I just sit down, read, cook, or watch a movie.

I don't want anything else. To be honest, I try to stay away from meeting other foreigners. My first few weeks here completely put me off that:

I met up with a seemingly nice group of people - 5 Americans, 1 Canadian and a NZ'er. I should also mention that they were all women. Nice bunch of people. Oh wait, until the bitches came out.
Within 1 hour I was a total waste of air to them, @sshole, you name it.

And ALL I did was say this: Ok everyone, it's been great, but I have to be up early in the morning. See you soon!

I heard from an Aussie male friend of mine 1 hour later: 'What did you say/do to L****/T***etc?'
My reaction?
'What?'

I don't see them anymore.

Korea breeds two types of people, loners and socialites.

Ive been both here and it seems to hedge on how tired I am. I got sick of the foreign scene pretty quickly when I came back because it turned into high school gossip night every night of the week. If not dealing with that makes me a loner, or being old man drunk watching discovery, fine.

Also we tend to either meet people we like, or people we dont. Its not so much an issue of coolness but much more on where we live.

Yeh, and what was so suprising, was that it came out of nowhere.

As said above, it is very much dependant on where you live.
I have found some lovely people who I now prefer to spend my valuable free time with. And they make it all worth while.
