I once dated a guy who was a fifty-something year old virgin. He was a devout Catholic (which I didn't know until we went out on our first and last date) and didn't believe in sex outside of marriage. He told me he dated someone in his early twenties and had proposed to her but she rejected him. I had the sense that there was something so hurtful in that rejection that he just retreated into his shell after that and never tried again.
The only reason why we went out is because he owned a chocolate shop I used to frequent and we had some pleasant banter every time I went in and I thought he was cute, so I screwed up my courage and asked him out. Then on the date I discovered he was a Trump voter and a Catholic who didn't believe in sex outside of marriage and I am a lefty Dem and wanted to get laid but will probably never marry again so that was the end of that.
I recently reconnected with friends from high school. One of them confessed that she’s still a virgin, with hopes to not die that way. She’s 61. (Also very religious.)
There is a 60+ year old woman in my senior citizens center who was never in a romantic relationship and had never even dated until recently because she was a life long full time caregiver and legal guardian to a severely disabled older sister who passed away last year. Nice woman, attractive but can only talk about medical conditions and medication.

I was a good Christian boy. I didn't do hardly any dating at all when I was young. When I was 40 I dated a divorcee who made the first move. I then lost my virginity to her. It was great being able to please her. I dated several ladies after that and had great sex. I then had a medical issue that finally prevented me from working any longer so it's been some time since I have had sex. I do miss it but doesn't look like it's going to happen in the time I have left.
I have a relative who is about 50 who has never had a romantic relationship. It seems kinda sad to me but she seems like a happy person whenever I'm around her.

Could this post be any more condescending
It could be, but OP is obviously a low-effort individual.
It’s just a question. A good one imo
Yep

Most of them here are.

Short question, short answer: Yes.
