Icky energy

I have realized that there aren't very many Americans here in Singapore.  Most of the expats are from Europe and Australia (and of course Asia).  So when I hear an American accent or hear somebody say they are from America, I jump in with, "Where in America are you from?"  I was at Prince of Wales on Saturday night sitting at the bar by myself (I have now come to know a couple of the bartenders there, and feel most comfortable going there if I'm by myself), and I heard an older, bald gentlemen getting a coke from the bar say he was from America.  For the Palmer peeps, he looked like a combination of the 2 male NMS teachers.  He was from New York and invited me to sit with his table outside when I said I was from Ohio.  He was sitting with a very nice Japanese lady (who is a potential future patient!), an older Australian gentlemen and his brother. 

Within 15 minutes of talking to this American gentlemen, I could tell he was of the cocky and arrogant type.  Ick.  Luckily, I talked mostly to the Japanese lady and a little bit to the Australian gentlemen.  Whenever the American gentlemen would talk to me, I just wanted to get away.  I did NOT like his energy or personality.  And no, he wasn't making any passes or anything like that towards me.  He talked mostly about living in Singapore and places in the US.  There's no other way to describe it other than his energy was just...icky!
