This might be a long one, but there is quite a bit of context. When I started college, I made some friends and we hang out all the time. One of whom is an athlete, he's muscular and kind of a smooth talker. He's pretty much the definition of an Alpha, he's got women coming up to him all the time. The other is pretty overweight, 260 pounds at least, I mean he's got man boobs and everything.

But really, he's not much of an alpha like my other friend. But, he somehow gets more attention from women then i do. But how? I mean, he's not much of a looker, he's got a beer gut. But the girls practically swoon over him.

But, strangely enough, somehow he has better luck with women then I do. Seriously, on weekends, we all go out and try to pick up girls, whenever he approaches one he usually can get them interested and to go home with him. And, these aren't chubby themselves, most of them are actually pretty smoking. But no matter what, it seems I can't get anyone interested in me.

Out of all of us, I've had the least amount of "notches in the belt", I just don't get it. Seriously, I don't know how he does it. He'll approach a girl and after just a minute or 2, he'll have them laughing and hanging off him. But no matter how many I talk to, nothing.

I seriously can't understand it, I mean I'm a pretty nice person, I'm respectful to the girls I meet, but no matter what I do...nothing.

I even asked how he does it, he doesn't even know himself. He just replied "I don't know. Luck? Genetics? Karma?"

I mean, a typical night out for us, they both get a girl to go home with them, but me? I can't. I mean, about a month ago, we all went out as usual, we went out to this place, it's kind of a restaurant with a dance floor, and we saw a group of 3 friends sitting together (2 of them were smoking hot blondes, but the other was more "homely", Not exactly cute). Anyway, my athletic friend asked my overweight friend to invite them over to our spot. He approached them, they were all laughing after just a minute or two. They all came back and sat with us. Long story short, they took the hot girls and i was stuck with the more homely one. I tried talking to her but she just ignored me. So, i looked on the dance floor and my overweight friend, he had this girl, she was leaning all over him and everything, i overheard him and she actually invited him to her place. YES. SHE invited HIM. Wtf? He didn't even try. She just took him to her place. I just figured "Why Not" and took a shot and made a move on her, i figured if my overwieght friend had a shot, then i would too. So, i put my arm around her, she didn't slap me or anything but she said she had to leave. She was practically running away. They both got laid. I didn't. I spent the night on porn.

And the whole next day, they were both bragging about how the got laid.

Its actually kind of discouraging. Like, why is he so much more lucky with women then me? What's so special about him? I mean, i've got muscles and am not fat but i can't so much as get a "hello".

Is there anything I can do? I don't even feel like hanging out with them anymore. I've complained about it to my athletic friend, but he always tries to get me to go along with them "Maybe you'll get lucky. I mean, if (overweight friend) can get laid, so can you.", but i don't. I try, but nothing i do works.

Even when he helps me or sets me up, i rarely have any luck. What the hell am i doing wrong?

Tl;Dr - my overweight friend seemingly has better luck with women whenever we go out, but I can't get anyone interested in me no matter what. What am i doing wrong?
