Anti Charisma - Famous anticharismatic peopleMake no mistake, Anticharisma is an undisireable characteristic: If you have it, and when it comes to your chances of winning in life, through no fault of your own...your a loser! The meaning of loser has yet to reach full maturity. However as time goes on, the public consciousness of loser will be realised. A loser is a person, and the notion of a Loser is a social phenomenon. Not simply abstractly the one who did not win.
(Public Domain image from Wikipedia by Caroline Bonarde Ucci) Ricky Gervais Ricky Gervaise is the first high profile person to have the guts to raise the issue of being anticharismatic which he did through the feature film 'The invention of lying' Themes such as your genetic line, being short and fat with a non-optimum nose, lacking charisma, not having a strong jaw line and being disliked for being you are the essence of male anticharisma and they are precisely the issues that Gervaise raises in his latest movie. Go watch it!
(Public Domain Image from Wikipedia) John Kerry Many never try only to succeed and many never try and their fate is to fail. However when we talk of the loser, we deal with the experience of those unfortunate individuals: the losers, who try as they might can not succeed in their dreams. The main thing to bear in mind regarding a loser, is that a loser always does the right thing, always does their home work, always refrains from unhealthy living, but fails high school despite their best efforts and is diagnosed with cancer of the lung despite refraining from smoking. A loser tries hard but fails non the less. This ties in the notion of the try-hard. Try-hard is an insult used to describe someone who just doesn't have it just doesn't pull off the desired effect despite their best efforts. To avoid definition problems, can I just say that a loser is not someone who lives recklessly and suffers the consequences, as mentioned above a loser is the one who never smoked but got cancer anyway, the one who suffers from incessant bad fate bad luck and misfortune.

A loser is someone without potential without noticeable talent, someone who is thoroughly average or below average and who is incapable of "making their own luck". This notion of making one's own luck is tied in with both winners, cool people, popular people, talented people, and those who have potential to rise either through physical attractiveness or by intelligence or a combination of the two factors.
Its not a fad or a whim, its the black dark side to the meritocracy in which we are immersed, its the dark to the light its the skeleton in the closet that rarely gets a mention owing to its ultimate taboo in society. For a final example of this taboo, society in general will emphasise the importance of putting in maximum effort and "giving it a go" but the unspoken reality is that for the winner to win, many must fail and they by the rules of our society must remain quiet lest they brake the taboo.

The disfigured character played by Tom Cruise in 'Vanilla Sky' after the car accident. He finds out the greatest pain of his disfiguring car accident, is felt when his Penelope Cruz one-time admirer comprehensively changes her tune post car accident and utterly definitevely irrevocably rejects him.
Charlie Sheen's on screen brother in 2 and a half men is a classic anticharismatic type. Allen, the brother, has no confidence or talent and always fails with women and usually his career is shaky too. This loser quality of his, is juxtaposed like night and day against his co-star the real life super star popular kid, Charlie Sheen, who is rumoured to have had sex with 5000 women, a track record that indicates maximal acceptance in the community, the opposite of a loser, a winner, a hero.
Chuck Norris: Recently there has been an internet phenomenon where essentially people make a joke of Chuck Norris. Its usually centered around Chuck Norris having special powers or super strength through the mystical art of Kung Fu, but really subconsciously and overtly alike, people are making fun of Chuck Norris, because he has RED HAIR.
Trouble is, uncharismatic people usually don't become famous due to their lack of charisma, but worse still, anticharismatic people are obscured from popular culture due to the inherent stifling attributes in the life of one afflicted with anti charisma.
Its all a big competition. Great people of the world always had talent and beauty. No dumb dumbs make it to the top. It’s a great system only the winners get to win and most people can't win; yet the prospect of winning the hope that it evokes in hearts of the penniless invokes them drives them forward to compete to work long hours – all to be a winner. Its about high IQ and wide shoulders. Why are we made to compete to want to be better than our peers. The desire is instinct but the ability to fulfil the desire is talent gifted to only some. So the majority are wage slaves and are unable to find a beauty - unable to be fulfilled. Is this a fair situation? It’s a great question. In this meritocratic world, how do you succeed if you're behind the '8 ball'?
