It's not. I mean, correct me if there's some examples you're thinking of that I'm not familiar with, but the characters in the "awkward loner" role in this sort of thing are not chubby, usually not particularly slovenly. Usually they're socially awkward and attractive in an unconventional way. But that's not the same thing at all.

More generally, I think that the frequency of this trope gets discussed way more often than it actually takes place - it's a thing in, like, 90s and early 00s family sitcoms, and Apatowian romantic comedies, and not that many other places. And it really seems to me that, while it's a bad trope, the better idea is to blow up the whole way that we depict attractiveness and unattractiveness in general, not to aggressively police depictions of unattractive men being happy.

Thank you for your time.

Exactly. I'd go a step further and say the "awkward loner" is usually only that as an informed attribute and would be considered a really cool person in a real life school. They're the Cool Loser or Hollywood Homely trope.
