Man, I get you're down and all, but seriously look at random couples like people holding hands in public picss randomly but not necessarily the focus of the shots. People of all types find someone who wants to be with them. The attitude you have is unfortunately very unattractive but if you decide to be (and like) yourself and maybe not focus on the fact you haven't found anyone but are open to meeting new people, it'll probably happen.
You probably need some time to accept yourself who you are, enjoy your life and it'll come out that you have many positive traits. Mean I don't know you so I can't say for 100% but standard attractiveness isn't as big of a deal for many if they find someone they click with. It goes both ways of course, I may have not ended up with a model but I found someone kind, caring, funny and into many similar interests (maybe not all but that's rare too) and we've been quite happy for many years.
In the end South Park sort of said it in the movie, chicks dig confidence (unsure if exact line). Not necessarily the confidence to be a jerk and and act like a douche but knowing yourself and being comfortable with who you are.
