He's not the same level of pathetic as what's her face in your avatar. He's a more confident pathetic. Everybody in the school basically calls him "Dweeb" and he DOES act like an asshole since everybody is an asshole at him. But he's actually a misunderstood guy. His issue is that he genuinely enjoys playing video games more than the idea of interacting with real people, but society deems him as weird so when people bring it up he gets annoyed that they're judging his happiness by their standards. He's pretty funny when he's trying to conquer ladies though, though you have to suspend your disbelief that dating sims and "Real life" women follow the same pattern.
Give it a try if you ever feel like it. He's not a bad guy and the upside is that, unlike what's her face, he doesn't care about making new friends but once the girls forget about him you see a hint of pain in his face.
