A place for guys who can't cut it

Hong Kong as a financial center attracts the ambitious alpha males for sure, but somehow it is also a refuge for those around the world who come to take advantage of the lack of education of the masses of people in Asia.  I seem to often wonder what people are doing here sometimes.  If one really wants to find one's self, they'd go to more harsh places like Africa or keep on moving, yet they stay - with no clear purpose or long-term plan.  The only thing I can tell is that they are enjoying the number of women here and readily give out the attention they like.  This has become more obvious every time I come back to Hong Kong from traveling elsewhere. Maybe it is the lack of real jobs for those who are not in finance.. maybe I should just be more forgiving to people because one day I might just end up in their shoes.  But one thing I feel more and more is that I don't have a lot of time to waste meeting and hanging out with people are just have little to contribute.
