I think that as long as you're not a freak... you can get a girlfriend anywhere in the world. Maybe the problem isn't your looks but your approach.
People don't just become a couple via looks alone. You need to get to know someone and have a connection that goes beyond physical attraction in my opinion. Unless you're a "playa" that is... but "playas" have a certain type of persona which judging from your post is something that you don't have. (Neither do I)
