Are my looks undermining my ability to break through the dry spell?

Here's the truth: been going through a dry spell in the relationships department and starting to feel insecure; not an easy thing to admit. I'm 29 years old, am a successful economist (work as an assistant professor), and find myself going to many functions and events. As a result, I don't have the opportunity to reflect my sadness and my feelings to people, even ones who are close to me.

I'm 5'9'' and also very fit and athletic (did a lot of sports at college). Lately, seeing all my friends in a relationship, been wondering if my looks are the reason, since I'm confident I'm intelligent and social. Appreciate your feedback on my facial features; this is a pic I took before attending a function, and sorry about the flash couldn't adjust it in my iPhone (not sure if one can).

There's nothing wrong with how you look and i'm sure your success makes you even more attractive. Relationships just haven't been that important to you, which is completely fine. You're probably just shy or seem uninterested, maybe get out there and meet some new people, just don't put too much pressure on yourself
