I feel like a loser for being a 26yo virgin (M)

I’m 26M and I feel like a F-ing loser for being a virgin. I’m tired of being subliminally told that I’m useless to society and that I’m not worth even a F-ing date.

I work out 4-5 times a week (Powerlifting) and work 50-60 hr. Weeks but it all amounts to nothing when I see a dry phone and people around me in love.

I know the whole saying of “comparison is the thief of joy.” which doesn’t even make sense, to me, at all.

The world really looks at you funny when you’re a virgin and it sucks balls because you just can’t change it overnight. I had people telling me to go and pay for a hooker. I don’t wanna f-ing do that. There’s no honor in that.

I‘m just f-ing tired of it. I feel like I need to end it and accept my fate as a failure to my bloodline but I’m pretty sure it’s going to be the same old cliche answer, something along the lines of, “Don’t be hard on yourself.” And “it'll happen when you lease expect it.” especially from people who have ZERO idea of what it’s like to feel like a f-ing loser for being a virgin in this day and age.

To be honest, I also have autism and had it not been for powerlifting, I would have f-ing ended it all already and still do think about it from time to time.

Just sucks everyone around me having more sex than me as well as in love. Meanwhile, It’s as if I’m unworthy of love and that myself from a genetic standpoint is not even worth 1 date.
