Allrighty then, here we go...

I was in a similar situation as you, and I realised I had to do something about it. You what that something was? An attitude change. The only person who can call you a loser is yourself; it sounds corny but it's true. So get off your cynic trip and do stuff that makes you happy.

If you're not happy by yourself, you're sure as hell not going to be happy with somebody else. A girlfriend isn't going to save you or change your perspective on life. You have to do that for yourself.

So get off your ass and occupy yourself. Get involved in clubs, hobbies, and friends. If you're at home on a Friday night, call up some friends and hit up a movie. Find some meat lying around and barbecue it up with people you know. Join clubs. Find a hobby you like and learn the skill (I'm learning lockpicking right now).

Every relationship I've had was the result of things working together at the right time. You can't spend your life waiting for those moments, because (at least for me) they are few and far between. Instead you should do stuff that boosts your confidence, and makes you happy.

So you're fat. Big deal; so am I. If it's enough of a problem to worry about, it's enough of a problem to fix. Hit up the gym, change your diet (switch to diet soda, it's amazingly effective), and go with friends so that it becomes routine.

Involve yourself in new things. I've discovered Habitat for Humanity, which has been incredibly fun and allowed me to meet a lot of interesting people. I also do things with my engineering society, and am involved in a gaming club. All of those things have become new avenues to expand myself, and gain friendships.

Nothing's gonna happen unless you get up and do it for yourself.
