Is this a bit of a loserish thing to do, or do I not make sense?

ok so say someone of any age has no 'personal' friends just aquantainces, always single etc with just aquaintances of people they know. If they join clubs say sports, art etc to meet people, would you say its a bit of a 'loserish' thing to do since its like forcing people to interact with you, through teamwork and all that. Since people in arts, sports clubs generally accept each other would it be classed as desperate if the persons only social life was going to these clubs but they never had any personal friends who really knew them, or went out with them etc? Im just wondering because ive found its what Ive had to do all my life lol. I know people through places and want to join a club to make 'friends' but these friends are never close friends. For some reason (I dont know why) Ive never seen joining clubs as the 'cool' thing to do and feel like an oddball because I dont have close personal friends. Maybe because my parents/teachers encouraged me to join clubs so I would meet people lol. Just wanted honest opinions on this, Ive never thought of it this way before. In fact I suppose going out drinking is not much better because in a way you are using alcohol to encourage people to talk/interact/sleep with you... but then ive always seen it as the more socially acceptable thing to do as people who go out at night tend to go with friends anyway.
