Awww... thanks 
I dunno, though. How am I supposed to feel about myself? Like I mentioned before, I have what I can only describe as a "paradoxical" sense of esteem (is there a psychology term for this?). I try to be the best person I can: Presentable, interesting, fun to be around... and I see someone I like when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning... but when there's no interest and relentless rejection for years on end, one only has the metrics to go off... and those metrics say I'm utterly passable trash not even worth considering a conversation and/or a cup of coffee with. The singles world certainly knows how to make a man feel ugly and worthless.

Well you are not ugly and worthless, but I understand if the online dating dearth is getting you down.
Do you think it would help to take a little break from the online dating/singles scene? Maybe focus on other things in your life that make you happy?
Do you have good friendship circles? If so maybe focus on those, nurturing the positive relationships you do have which make you feel good about yourself and happy. If not, then maybe work on those. It might not get you a date but it won't beat your self esteem up on a regular basis either.
And I repeat - you are not ugly and worthless. There are a lot of unhappy posts about dating scenes on here, I don't think it's a reflection of who you are personally just the overall situation.
