I'm going to say YES.
Get back here I'm not done yet!
Once barb dies Chris will most likely be placed in government care where he will get the help he needs. He'll learn to be social and have realistic standards for a mate. It will take a while but he will be compatible with another.
Every Q-sand has its cheese.

Your argument has been read fully, and your thoughts have been inputed and accepted for better improvement. Thank you for your time and efforts.
he could at least get a realdoll :/ Admittedly it won't clean up after him but it looks and feels like an actual person (as long as you don't mind the cold unfeeling flesh and vacant eyes).
I will say it's possible for Chris to get a girlfriend, but he's going to have to make changes to his life before he'll be husband material.
Number one is that he needs to take better care of himself. He can drop some weight pretty quickly by going on a 1800-2000 calorie a day diet and working out. Hell, he had a DDR pad, he can do that for an hour a day and drop weight WHILE playing vidya, and Barb wouldn't be getting grossed out because there's no blood or guts or boobies. Everybody wins!
Part of this means that he needs to get to the doctor and get a physical done, and then schedule an appointment with a dentist. Medicare should cover quite a bit of that. He also needs therapy. Social Security has therapy options.
Number two is that he needs to get his finances in order. I don't know how things are in Virginia, but my state unemployment office offers tons of resources. Resume writing classes, interview classes, personal finance classes, even pointers on how to dress and groom--and they're all FUCKING FREE. The only thing you're out is time and gas/lunch money. I'm not even asking him to look for a job, simply to learn how to make and stick to a budget.
Third, he needs to learn how to present himself. A little bit of confidence can go a long way in altering people's perception of you, as well as getting a good wardrobe. I tend to be heavy-set myself and I have to watch my diet and work out in order to maintain my current figure, which is still a little bit "fluffy" but I'm OK with. What I find works for me:
1.) Hair. Keep it short. Short hair is a defining characteristic of masculinity and I find people are more likely to take me seriously if I have a well-groomed head of hair. As far as facial hair is concerned, Chris wasn't too far wrong with the goatee, but he needs to keep it groomed and lose the glasses.
2.) Clothing. Tomgirl has GOT to die. Nobody wants to see that shit.
* Shirts. As far as Chris's shirts go, the T-shirt that he was wearing in the last FB leak photo was a step in the right direction, except for the fact that it was obviously a cheap undershirt that was hopelessly stretched out. I find that a good button-down work shirt works wonders for men with a body type like that. Dark, solid colors are slimming, and the vertical line down the center helps support that illusion. He should avoid T-shirts (they tend to accent manboobs) and form-fitting sweaters, like turtlenecks. Hoodies that zip up the front are great for casual wear.
*Neck wear. The only thing that men should have around their neck are work-related items (ties, a work lanyard with an ID card holder, dog tags only if you're active duty military.) Everything else is superfluous and distracting. That being said, Chris needs to get rid of the iDea Book case and put it in a backpack. That much weight dangling from his neck only attracts unwanted attention.
*Pants and shoes. Dark colors are the best, along with a good, high quality belt. Most importantly, the pants have to fit properly, which means that the should comfortably sit just south of the navel and not underneath the love handles. Jeans and khakis are always acceptable, although Chris could also benefit from a good pair of slacks. Shoes should also be dark. There are tons of comfortable slip-on models that Chris could use, and I fucking love my black and white Vans.
*Undergarments. Chris needs to lose the "muscle bra." Those are for women. However, form wear for men is a growing industry, with manufacturers offering a number of "compression shirts" or "compression briefs" to cut down on bulges caused by manboobs/love handles.
3.) Chris needs to find better venues in which to meet people. Sitting alone at McDonald's doesn't work. I'm sure there's tons of restaurants with attached bars in the Charlottsville area. Bars are more social than simply sitting at a table by yourself, and I've met plenty of fascinating bar tenders and patrons simply by doing that. Just go in around dinner hour, order an entree and an anything besides a Bud or a Miller, and you'll eventually start interacting with people. I've had a number of cougars pick up my drinks that way.
Third, Chris needs distance from Barb, and to clean up his home. Having a clean home will do wonders for his self-perception. I find that when my home is clean, when I'm feeling healthy and my bills are paid, I'm more likely to be proactive in other matters.
But most importantly, Chris needs to start listening and following advice. I know he thinks everything that comes out of here is tainted with troll advice, and some of it is, but a lot of it are good pointers on how to improve his situation.

Seems like a perfect match to me....
Color me naiive, but yes.
The chances of it are very slim but yes. Like I said in the "why are you still watching" thread, I still follow Chris because I hold out some sliver of hope that he'll get his life together.
Life vs. Chris' expectations/inability to introspect/inflated ego is the ultimate case of Unstoppable force vs. Immovable object. But I feel like since life stops for no one at some point Chris has to give up and lower his standards enough to have some form of female company thats not barb.

5 years ago, when he at least made some minimal effort to groom himself and had some (albeit stupid, unappealing to any possible sweetheart) hobbies to keep himself busy, I would have said maybe. But now? He's 31 (and looks 50, but that's a different problem). He's approaching an age bracket for dating where possible girlfriends would expect him to have some sort of serious career or life ambition as a prerequisite for dating. Instead, he spends his days trying to look like a transvestite and moping around Wal-Mart and McDonalds when Barb lets him out of the house. I can't think of a single thing about him that would possibly be appealing to any other human being, much less one who meets his absurdly high criteria. So the short answer is:
no
no

Due to Chris's currently condition, I'd say that the best chance he has of getting a girlfriend are online and probably overseas, especially a country where English is spoken but not the primary language. Like the Philippines. Or Thailand. Or maybe Russia. Of course, this would mean that he'd have to change his sweetheart criteria some, but it's possible.
I know a 50-year-old guy who's overweight, has heart trouble, works as a short-order cook and picked up twenty-two year old from Manila over WoW.

He could always try getting a waifu.

I could see him getting taken advantage of by something like this (i.e. some woman from a former Soviet-bloc country marries him to become a citizen, then dumps his ass), but I don't think even women from the third world would care very much for his pathetic lifestyle or have any desire to cultivate a real relationship with him.

I agree that Chris isn't completely screwed. If he took care of himself AT ALL he would have a shot at being approachable. (kinda.... sorta... maybe.)
