一个中国男孩来到洛杉矶读高中，在上学的第一天，几个美国男孩走过来向他打招呼：“嗨，你好吗？”

On the first day of classes at a Los Angeles high school, several American boys came up to a Chinese boy and said: “Hi, what’s up?”

关于为何大多数中国男孩无法掠获西方女孩芳心这一问题，我曾听到过多种解释：从媒体的老生常谈到中国男人不够积极、自信的事实。

I've heard many explanations as to why Chinese men largely fail to pick up a Western girl; everything from media stereotypes to the fact that Chinese men are somehow less aggressive and confident.
