I've been trying to improve my social life by joining clubs and stuff but girls don't like me. I don't understand how guys hook up wuth girls.
How do you know that girls don't like you?
Do you ask each one individually, "Do you like me?"
No! Of course not! It sounds to me like you're being too judgmental.
If you're somebody who isn't incredibly socially experienced and can't relate to many people, you're going to have to either try harder to find commonalities, or just talk to more girls,
even ones that you aren't very physically attracted to.
In order to succeed, you must FAIL and LEARN from your failures. There is no "good luck" or anything like that; there is just you, a path, and success. You either follow the path or you don't, it's your decision.

After all these years of reading material, I'm still at square one.
It would help us greatly if you've told us exactly what you've read.
Yes, reading can help; there is lots of good material out there, but you must not only use your eyes and gather information, you have to
change your behavior and maintain that change before you'll see any results.

I'm not ugly and I have a fit body. I'm trying to gain 15 pounds but I'm not disgustingly skinny. I make 60/k a year, I'm 25 and I'm indepedent. I'm ahead than most guys.
You have some HUGE advantages here.
The only problem is that you need to learn how to USE them to your advantage.

I should just admit defeat and stop trying. I'm one of those guys that will never have a girlfriend.
I highlighted the word
defeat here for a reason. This is very important.
If you EVER stick to these words, I wonder, who have you been defeated by?
YOURSELF, that's who. After all, YOU'RE the one who said it.
You have to change the way you think to more positive and successful thought patterns.
Before you continue complaining and being bytched at in this thread of yours, you need to
COMMIT TO CHANGE.
It's a waste of time to help someone change who isn't willing to change.
