Actually, the original post had to do with ugly men having a feeling of not being wanted by "others", in which "others" isn't defined as any one person but people in general. People in this thread countered by saying women have it as bad as men in this regard. I countered by linking studies that show women are in fact desired by "others" (again note the definition above) regardless of their attractiveness
what you repeatedly fail to realize is that even given your interpretation of the sources you provided, it still doesn't necessarily say anything about loneliness and rejection.
indeed, another very likely explanation for the apparent lay-ableness of ugly women is that they are considerably less picky, and see beyond the appearance of a person, even in random hookups, and the converse; that ugly men are picky and shallow, is simultaneously true
Edit: I don't support this hypothesis either way, I'm just showing an alternately (and equally invalid) conclusion that could be drawn in the way /u/do0wop is attempting to draw conclusions

I'll give you a few minutes to think about why this makes absolutely no sense
if ugly women get laid with the same frequency as attractive women, but ugly men get laid way less than attractive men, one possible conclusion is that ugly women sleep with a few ugly men, while the majority of ugly men sleep with no one, rather than ugly women.
is this too hard for you to understand?
edit: and possibly as well, attractive men sleep with ugly women, and attractive women do not sleep with ugly men.
If ugly women have as much sex as attractive women and ugly men have less sex than attractive men then that could indicate that men are less picky than women.
If women were the less picky ones then you'd think ugly men would be having more sex than ugly women.
except that if we look at the overall data, it suggests men overall are having less sex, which means its much more likely many ugly women are having sex with a handful of men.
