Cast
As the main introduction says, the cast is comprised of "lovable losers" and each has his own set of issues to deal with:
- Alvaro aka "Kosmo", 23 - Physically fit and athletic, says he freezes up around women (changed his name in episode two).
- Brady, 25 - Lacking self-confidence, says he feels inadequate and doesn't deserve a good woman.
- Fred, 45 - The oldest student, and a virgin, he admires his father for his 51-year marriage and just wants to meet the right woman.
- Joe D., 25 - Overweight and lives in his parents basement, he feels uncomfortable with his appearance and hates his 'frat guy' image. He is always the "friend" to girls.
- Joe W., 24 - Starts off strong but often fails fast, he says that when he does hit it off with women they often think he is gay.
- Pradeep, 22 - He over analyzes and talks too much, his approach in meeting women is to talk to guys first.
- Scott, 26 - Gets very nervous and stutters around women.
- Spoon, 27 - Doesn't know how to approach women and says that he isn't good at talking, wishes he could be like James Bond.
