		<description>&lt;p&gt;Finding the right group to be with isn&#039;t all that easy lor. Connecting with ppl is tough enough, but i think it&#039;s even harder in the gay community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sadly, I can seriously say I haven&#039;t been able to scrape very far with most ppl. I&#039;m probably just antisocial tho :P&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;i think the main difference is places and opportunities to meet up with like-minded people is much easier to find in Singapore than in Malaysia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to be honest .... if i didn&#039;t know all the people i knew before arriving in KL ... i wud have been a little depressed at how hard it is to meet people u can have a proper conversation with. my social circle has really been the same ever since i&#039;ve arrived and altho we go out to all kinds of places, gatherings and do different activities like tennis, watch the occasional play and things .... u sort of meet the same people all the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it is hard here .... and for a large percentage ... the primary language is cantonese and so for those who speak english predominantly that&#039;s much much harder&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;its often the case where if u stumble upon a group that u can sort of click with ... u hang out with them. engaging each other and progressing to a deeper frenship ... i think that takes time and willingness and not everyone is that open and willing&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;think it really comes down to how lucky one is to find the correct friends... but i do find gay people harder to become good friends with... not to say it is impossible.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;i guess i&#039;m in danger of judging your friend but i guess i should give him the benefit of the doubt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i have often heard this lament.&lt;br /&gt;
but my own experience is that there a zillions of guys out there who will make good friends and can talk deeper, less-superficial stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
but they are not going to be easy to spot sitting at Dome.&lt;br /&gt;
and somehow i suspect your friend would not classify these people as &quot;cute&quot;....&lt;br /&gt;
where would people like that hang out?&lt;br /&gt;
what would their interests and hobbies be like?&lt;br /&gt;
where would people with such interests and hobbies hang out?&lt;br /&gt;
where would you be most likely get to meet such people?&lt;/p&gt;</description>
