To me a loser is someone who abuses drugs, mistreats others, has no goals, passions or inspirations or blames his lack of success on external sources.
For the first time you and I are in agreement.

All my friends have their own definition of "loser." I've always had a problem with defining or even calling someone a loser. The words sounds so harsh. Isn't it all relative?

Then again, if I really had to choose between someone whom I would consider to have low life tendencies, I'd say, someone who rips off and steals from the weak/vulnerable, someone who can hurt others without remorse (including bringing children into this world and not really caring for their well-being).

Basically, someone without any sense of integrity/dignity. All else depends on the individual.

True enough, but these days, depending where you live, that can still be a lot of money.

With men loserdom is usually tied to their lack of income, lack of education, lack of physical looks(height, weight, etc) and lack of employment. With women it's almost always tied to looks, and if she has too many children without being married.
This is accurate. Though I make over $150K, I've been called a "loser" for being short. I ignore it, but I've heard this quite often when people have been asked to describe me. "She called you a loser". Why? "You're an awesome guy, but you're short".

Thank GOD "all" women don't think this way! I've been good w/the ladies, but I hear this from time to time.

I don't equate "short" with "loser"-probably because I'm only 5'4". Ideally I would like to date someone taller than me (it'd be nice of one of us could reach the top shelf of the cupboard without a step stool ) but to call someone shorter than that a loser is pretty extreme!

In dating, some people call anyone they are not into for any reason a loser. Some of the reasons are valid. Others are not. Maybe the people who use the word so loosely are doing so to build themselves up and are trying to blame the people they are and have been seeing as the reason they can't find a mate instead of themselves.

It usually just means the guy doesn't have enough money or the potential to make enough money to support a family. I've never heard anyone call a guy with a pretty good income a loser (even if he's fat/ugly). It also could mean that the guy is just socially awkward and unpleasant or a total bore to be around.

Of course, there are situations when a guy is called a loser out of anger or jealousy.

In all honesty who gives crap what other people think.
If your ugly short fat, buck teeth one eye browed blah blah..

Some people will think your ugly. Some will think your attractive.

I have had an ugly broke fat chick call me ugly lame and dumb
I had a hot sexy latin women call me dark chocolate and obsess over me..
Vice versa...

The point is you should just focus on living life to the fullest, enjoying it and improving yourself as much as possible and be happy instead of dwelling on this negative crap.


People who think their "perfect" and can call everyone else losers or think there too good for anyone else are jokes..

For every person that you think is a "loser" there is somebody who's more pretty, richer, more successful and think you are a loser.
So unless your freaking Amber rose or christian Bale shut it...
Edit: Even if you are still shut it...

SHeesh..

What makes you think you're such a catch?!
Agreed. That sort of attitude would be a turnoff for me right away. I'd just figure they must be insecure about something themselves to post something like that.
