How do you know meetups all meetups attract "losers"? What is - to you - the defining characteristic of such "losers"? How certain are you that your personal experience with one kind of meetup generalizes well to all meetups? How do you know there are fewer or no losers elsewhere, e.g. on the internet?
You seem to have problems with the concept of "losers" in general :-/
The word get's used by different people for different purposes. One person might say "loser" to mean nerdy people with low social skills. Another might say "loser" to mean people who don't have well paying jobs or the prospect of getting them after finishing university.
It's hard to know what someone else means with the term.
I think it usually means "people lower status than me" :-)
Exactly - the term's quite loosely defined.

Mind reading over the internet doesn't work well. It's not clear what kind of people do you consider to belong to negative classes.
