The rest of your post is just your opinion about what sort of data, statistics or information might be out there.
A lot of people don't understand what it's like to be almost 32 and never even kissed.

I used to believe that I wasn't unattractive, but after being rejected for being "shy" and "geeky looking", I gave up, and turned to food. Now I'm not dating, but I am overweight. I'm trying to lose weight, but when depression and anxiety is the reason for me overeating (and having a nasty soda habit), it's hard to give it up.

If I continue on this path, I will probably have a heart attack at 40, and my genetics will end there.

You refuse to understand there are invisible men, too.

Not necessarily dangerous. Just lonely.

Whether or not you can function as a lonely person is another matter.

Rejected when you asked someone for a date you mean?

Why do you need a woman in your life to be happy? I don't date, haven't had a real relationship, and I'm pushing 30.

I'm not depressed and I don't overeat. In fact, I work out almost every day and I'm a positive person to be around.

Being "invisible" isn't so bad.

That's what I was thinking, that there are other aspects of life other than finding someone to date. There are friends, there is work, there are hobbies, there is family, getting in shape, traveling (if that's what one does), and so on.

Have you been in the shoes of those who can't get any sex?

Unless you have, it is hard for us to take your advice seriously.
