That the grammar is "terrible" is an exaggeration; I have decent confidence.
Although the main gist of it is right, the translation is embellished, and I suspect deliberately so.
The tone is deliberately harsh. "lewd" is usually (and certainly in this context) not a good translation of エッチ; "lewd" is a negative word that is better corresponds to concepts like いやらしい or maybe 淫らな. Nothing like "nobody would date them" is written or implied, just that they can't find that type of woman (そういう女性) to date them, for whatever reason. It doesn't imply they don't have girlfriends, or even that a woman such as what they modeled in the software wouldn't want them; no speculation is posited about why that woman isn't there. 付き合ってくれる人がいない does not mean "nobody would date s/o". I also didn't use any phrase that corresponds to "desperate" like 窮余 or 絶望 or what have you.
