And yet, short ugly poor people have partners. Being without a partner permanently (in western societies) is rather unusual, and if you were looking to draw correlations between the people in that category, you’re probably looking at a combo of psychological issues and lack of interest, not so much what they look like.

That might actually be an odd but perfectly rational dating strategy for females that want to make absolutely sure they are not being cheated on, to be in a relationship where they have all the power, because they damn well know how hard it would be for that guy to find another partner.
Of course you have exceptions like this, for all kinds of reasons. There are people who fetishize morbid obesity or amputation. That doesn't mean that for every morbidly obese amputee there's a matching partner.
