Sunkisses, being undesirable by somebody doesn't make them a loser because nobody is desirable to everybody, so that would make all of us losers. I'm pretty surprised by several of the answers in this thread.
This is true, but again, going by what friends and family members have stated, when a man was ugly or had some other undesirable physical trait, that particular man was called a loser, i.e. an ugly man approached a friend of mine, tries to get her number, she rejects him, he walks away, and she mumbles "yuck he was a loser and a lame".

And (as a women) Id say your friend is a b*tch. No loss for the guy with the "undesirable physical trait".

I've also had friends judge men who look certain way and make comments, "that guy looks like he's got nothing going for himself--he looks like a loser" (in the cases the men either had a lot of tattoos, looked ghetto, etc). Or "that man looks like he's broke and has nothing to offer"... In these cases these types of men were viewed as losers, even if the reasons seemed shallow.

In all seriousness, just because he ask out your sister over you does not mean that you were not good looking enough. He simply could have preferred your sisters personalty over yours.

Without knowing the specifics I have done that myself. For me I would say that about a guy who approached me and was gross. By gross I mean he had poor hygiene and just creepy. If I am not attracted I won't say he's a loser.

In that case I probably dodged a bullet considering my sister is a stereotypical materialistic, gossipy mean girl. If that's the type of girl he wants I never stood a chance.

If you have to ask, you aren't ready to know.

It's subjective. I've been a "loser" most of my life. I don't see myself that way and neither do those who matter in my life. I don't know that I'd necessarily use the term loser for some I've encountered, but I've definitely found myself thinking "And you wonder why you're single..." on a few occasions.

I was once contacted online by someone whose profile indicated what type of flea control potential partners must use on their pets, had step-by-step directions on how to file an OSHA claim successfully and detailed stories about how his profile was rated negatively due to a couple of encounters with women who pursued him relentlessly and turned out to be psycho. Printed, his profile would probably have been 8 pages long. I read enough to know that he blamed everyone but himself for everything wrong in his life. To me, someone who feels they are owed by everyone else and won't recognize they could have a role to play is a loser.

I don't know why you don't find yourself attractive FYI

I understand that's what some people say. It doesn't mean they're right. There are plenty of physically unattractive men out there who are not losers.
