To the older virgin men does the thought of a woman accepting you scare you more than the idea that you might never get laid?
Like you may encounter a girl who accepts you and your lack of sexual experience but in the back of your head you may be paranoid and fearful that someday she's gonna find an excuse to say you're no longer good enough and leave you.
Has that ever crossed your mind and could that be a subconscious reason why not trying at all sounds more appealing?
