  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is round table.

  • They may not have the most glamorous jobs with the most rewarding pay.

  • Often they show up in dull clothes or are slow to share their opinions or even refrain from responding to words of criticism or acrimony.

  • They are the opposite of alpha males who command a strong presence in the room.

  • But theyre just as good at professing love, perhaps better at showing compassion and offering emotional support.

  • And theyve come to the spotlight in tv series these days.

  • Hello, Im Li Ming.

  • And this is roundtable today with Neil Holling and Brandon Yates.

  • We look at the rising popularity of the so called lovable losers.

  • This is quite an oxymoron because in my opinion, whoever is being loved is not a loser.

  • Hes already.

  • Saying the lovely things, trying.

  • To, getting to the role, getting to the part.

  • So what are the characteristics of these so called lovable losers?

  • They're dark clothes.

  • Well, I don't call them lovable losers.

  • Reticence.

  • You've painted a good picture, though.

  • I would call them husband materials and maybe not even in real life, but more in entertainment shows, in tv shows and movies, the kind of male stars on screen that you take a look at and you think, huh, he's not unbelievably handsome or something, but I think he's good husband material and he's relatable.
