Already girls don't care, and are like "your too old to go to the club scene to find anyone, etc... blah blah " or w/e other excuses they will come up with for not wanting to be with me. I understand i lack the experience but im starting to feel like i may just want to stay at home playing video games like i have been and just avoid being made fun of and told "no one likes you"

 Hi
Your not too old to date, you are too young to sit in a room playing video games as life passes you by though.
If you want to go clubbing, go. If you want to go to a Bar every weekend, do it. There are lots of ways to get out there and socialise, not just these places.
Look at your appearance, see if it needs changing or updating, look at interests that might appeal and start a new one. Even if its just running or cycling for charity. Buy a dog, or borrow one to walk
Do not give up after a month, keep going, ask girls out, if they say no, so what.. ask another. Don't get to 60 and wonder where your life went, get out there and experience it.

 You arn't too old to date, but to make you dateable, you have to look at what you are offering. If it is a shut-in gamer who doesn't have much conversation, then it's not going to attract girls.
You don't have to go to bars and clubs, although these seem to be the hotbeds of opportunity to meet someone. Try getting into a new hobby or class, keep yourself groomed and well informed of what's going on in the world and try not to worry about what anyone thinks.
Maybe try the internet for dates, but choose people in your area who you can meet up with and spend time with as long distant relationships are hard to maintain.
You are young, you probably just need a bit of a confidence boost and then it should be easy to find someone to date.
