I think the word "foreigner" is about as close as you're going to get. But then again, maybe I just don't understand the nuances of the word "老外." Does it have negative connotations?

You can call male Chinese 老 ＋their surname, like 老李，老王，老张
It will sound friendly.

Hi, Bob thanks reply. If some Chinese muttering "laowai", that is really a impolite behavior, but I think the word "laowai" is a neutral term.

It's a good one to use when you hear Chinese folks impolitely muttering "laowai" as if they've never seen a unicorn before...
