Virgins of Reddit, how old are you and why are you still a virgin?

21M. I'm not really sure. I'm a nerdy engineering student who was always more interested in school than girls. I'm a bit overweight, not morbidly obese or anything but not good looking enough to draw attention. I was also raised fairly religiously (quite liberally but I took what I was told about waiting till marriage at face value). And I still think it would be nice to wait until I'm in a committed relationship, but now I'm more of an atheist so I doubt much of the "wait" crowd is interested in me.

I don't want to blame anyone but myself (blame isn't even the right term, it's not really a bad thing), but I kind of feel like before I got to college I heard "don't bother with girls there's plenty of time for that later, focus on school" from every angle. And that immediately switched to looks of pitty and concern when I still don't have a girlfriend. I don't mind my being a virgin I just am getting really scared that I've sabotaged my chances of ever meeting someone who doesn't view me as pathetic.
