Am i normal older virgin to give up?

I'm an older virgin at 37 ....and my luck at love has been beyond terrible.
Although I accept it and been called a loser (to my face and in these questions) despite my life in the marine corps and having a great social and family life. I'm at a crossroads to where the last part of me want to endure and find love.....and it feels like a lie that destroys my confidence at every turn when I try to do something more meaningful then being in a relationship.
I've seen my share of hell when it comes to love and heard all of the benefits of promise from those who just think I'm a freak or have the audacity to think they know a solution in just one sentence. I know I don't have emotional baggage in fact if you would have met me face to face I'm just another guy. I far from earning my straight jacket. Bottom line life convinced me that my faith in finding another is a drug only to promise a tease and to destroy any worth as a man.
I am writing a book and would like to know from girls mostly would you convince me to continue or just look at me with disgust? Would you date me yourself? If you think I'm too far gone what advice would your give to help me continue my path to being single? Have you ever met someone like me? Am I normal?
