Presumably this means that the top 20 percent of men on dating apps (whatever top means) are dating 4 women simultaneously on average right? Sounds complicated.
One day a girl shows up at our door looking for him. We regretfully inform her that he is actually with another woman in his room right now. Her response:
"Oh, that's ok, I'll wait out in my car".
It's a completely different life.
If it's any consolation though, he ended marrying a pretty terrible woman.
It reminds me of the gervais principle.

It really is a lot like the market. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Sex gods get more and more sex while incels get even less than nothing, they are actively hated.
It boggles the mind to imagine that most attractive women would put up with this behavior on networks they frequent.
They absolutely do.

I don't know about that. Everyone's maximizing their own options. I think that is pathological behavior in of itself.

Boggles my mind as well. I wouldn't believe such things had I literally not seen them with my own eyes. Women would rather share a really good man than try their luck with bad men. I've literally seen a woman be a man's hidden lover for 20 years.
