Is it pathetic to be single for this long?

I broke up with an abusive boyfriend over a year ago and since then I've been putting my life back on track for the past 6 months everything has been going pretty well for me. This saturday past was valentines day as you will know, my housemates whom all have partners pointed out it's getting pathetic that i'm still single and can't get a boyfriend. Is it because I'm ugly or something? they said if i lost about ten-fiften kgs I'd have more of a chance. I think its okay to be single whilst I'm finishing my degree up and getting my life back together.
