I was exactly your age when I started my pickup journey. It's not too late at all.
There's nothing wrong with your situation. This is not a reason to kill yourself.
The solution is simply to focus on socializing and talking to girls. You still have time to meet many girls.
But also, frankly, jerking off can be more enjoyable than sex with girls. You'll be surprised that sex with girls is not as good as it seems. I can have a better sex by myself. When you realize this it's a huge relief.

I'm exceptionally solitary and introverted. So my lifestyle would not suit most people.
Don't copy me. Find what is right for you.

The solution is to socialize a lot and stop caring.
When you socialize the point is to have fun and offer people good vibes. That's all. Focus on that rather than thinking about yourself. Eventually you will stop thinking about yourself entirely when you are out.

The reason people drink when they socialize is so they can turn off their mind from thinking about all this crap.
Notice how carefree you are when you're drunk and then just act that way sober. That's the master key.

Online dating is primarily looks-based platform. Doesn't mean that's where it ends but you want to show something that sparks immediate attraction in the opposite gender. As a guy you are competing with tens of thousands of others and you have only a split second time to peak her interest.
The first few months of most new relationships are usually pretty carnal so you want to invoke a little bit of that "wow, he's cute" rather than "oh cool, he reads so many books." You don't want to come across as boring, patronising or self aggrandising . You want to excite her primal drive a little bit so she browses through other of your pics and maybe opens a profile and maybe reaches out. 
In practical terms this would mean: 
hobby (example) - a nice picture of you in hiking overall out in the mountains that shows clearly your face and a bit of your body. It shows you like a bit of adventure, that you are healthy because you spend some time outdoors and that you are at least stage green person (if thats the kind of your you want to attract)  personal picture - a nice picture of you, not too retouched and not too filtered. Clean clothes.  Nice, natural smile, tidy hair, clean face, ideally clear from acne and visible skin conditions where possible.  trimmed facial hair, ideally taken in natural light with an unspecific background not as a selfie in your kitchen at 10pm. No cheesy AI edited photos.  Also think that if you are looking for more than a quick shag, you are seeking a high quality conscious woman. She will be looking at your looks and judging if you are a suitable partner and potentially father of her kids one day. She is not looking for a supermodel but she doesn't want a scruffy-looking dude in Buddhist linen outfit, sitting against a wall holding mudras (no direct offence meant at all, I'm generalising ). She wants to see that you are a relatively attractive-looking dude, who looks easygoing, confident in his own skin and fun to be around. And if those photos can "stir her loins" a little bit that's even better but you don't need that if that's not your thing. 
If you don't think that's right for you then maybe online dating isn't going to be your thing, there are tons of other ways to meet women that allow for a more holistic expression although the pool of available women will shrink proportionately. 
And finally, the answer the question of inauthenticity. Yes, online dating is a bit unauthenthic but you have to play that game a bit. Its all about getting that first date and selling to her more of your real personality. Until then, you have to play the attraction game or you'll end up being ignored by all women who have options. If you can't swallow that pill and post a little bit of show for yourself, you'll end up alone.

In practice you have to do these things to climb the ladder and succeed at work.
That's the difference between a job and a career. If you had a career you would be willing to do these things.

Now you are ready to appreciate my video: How To Escape Wage Slavery
P.S. Policing can be very meaningful and worth taking a bullet for. But only if it is meaningful to you. If you don't find a job meaningful you shouldn't be doing it. That's what it all boils down to.

I'm not exactly a role model for personal development. But, I at least give some shit about helping others and make some efforts to not offend others.
Most people start hating me very quickly if I don't start helping them soon.
Many online community admins treat their communities like their personal possessions and are quick to block people who even slightly bother them instead of acting for the greater good of the communities.
This can be love in the sense that people couldn't do better, but it's not that difficult for people to do better than now.
 

The only reason I succeeded was because the marketplace was not monopolized and saturated when I started.
The environment has gotten much more monopolized since then. 
It's not just that there are large corporations, they have been turned into digital serfdoms over the last 15 years.
This is a thread about the health of the ecosystem as a whole, of course a few individuals can always find success in any system.

You can't know that without trial and error.
It's like asking, How do you know how far you can run? You try running and see how far you get. Your ability to run is within the ego's control but at some point that will break down and your body will just fail and you can run no more.
But it's obvious that it is not within the ego's ability to turn into a pig. That's why we call that "genetics". Genetics is the stuff about your dream that your ego cannot change.

The real limit is not the brain but the dream that is your entire life. The brain is just an aspect of that dream. You are limited because you are committed to dreaming a particular dream. If that commitment was broken then you would either die or go insane. And you are not in control of this dream.
You are dreaming that you are a human and not a pig. And so it is. If you could dream that you are a pig, you would be a pig. But you don't know how to do that because it is beyond the ego's power.
You as ego didn't choose. You are just a puppet of reality.

Women themselves value this. Which is why they are obssesed with cosmetics, clothes, hair, eyelashes, botox, and depressed from watching Instagram.
A woman's #1 value is reproduction. Not according to me. According to biology. People have completely lost touch with what a woman's function is: to raise children.
Again, not according to me. According to 300,000 years of human history.
People have become so post-modern they are now stupid. Can't even understand what a woman is.

A much bigger problem will be under-population. There will be bad economic collapse if developed nations don't breed more.
The entire global economy assumes constant growth. All that will come crashing down without more babies. More babies means more technological innovation to fix the climate problems. Climate will not be fixed by cutting back but by better tech.
Without babies, who is gonna mine the cobalt for your phone battery?

How flippant.
Understanding how a woman's survival functions shape her behavior and psychology is a very non-trivial matter.

She literally said so in her manifesto. Maybe if you take her complaints seriously there will be less shootings.
If you're gonna bully people with "locker room" insults, don't be surprised when they go on a shooting spree.
The one thing all these school shooters have in common is that they were bullied and insulted.

I'd like to take supplements but I just can't afford to buy individual vitamins and minerals once a month. Is it worth taking multivitamins or is the quality too low to bother? 

In all do seriousness, there is a serious mental health problem with teenagers. The educational system and the way children are raised in modern western society has failed totally to account for student well-being and happiness. 
Society is decent at providing some very basic needs for food and shelter, and even that, not totally as there is still homelessness and poverty. But in helping people attain to the higher needs of Abraham Maslow's model, society is insufficient. 
I vividly recall being in high school, and being M I S E R A B L E. I never slept properly because I had a compulsive issue with staring at my phone late into the night. I kept telling myself not to look at my phone in bed, but I wouldn't follow through, night after night. 
So I would wake up each morning groggy, with an intense sleep inertia. When I got home from school, I was a chronic procrastinator, so I would not start my homework until 6:00 P.M. .I remember all the late nights I spent cramming for exams, barely eating, barely sleeping. Horrible four years.

It's almost like physical appearance has nothing to do with happiness.

@Onecirrus 1 close friend, I met her at work. We hang out, do drugs, get our nails done, do our makeup together, go shopping and partying. 1 male friend is my brother. I prefer talking in person over texting and calling.
 
One thing I wish men knew. That girls just wanna have funnnnnn
 
hope this helps! 

Don't count on it. CEOs got good security and hard to access. This is not like a wacko shooting up the local school yard.
Assassinating powerful people is not so easy. Takes intelligence and serious planning, with no payoff.

Coding a basic website yes.

Trump is not bad because Leo says. Trump is bad because you would be a fool to trust him to handle your money or your children, or really anything.
If you actually had Trump as your personal friend you would hate him because of how selfishly he would treat you. But yet you're cool with letting him run your country.
If you knew Trump personally, he would fuck you over. If that's not obvious to you, you are not doing consciousness work.

Everyone is less developed than they portray themselves to be.
The mind is not conscious enough to comprehend its own corruption.
