→80/20 Rule
| Line 11: | Line 11: | ||
The 80/20 rule or Pareto principle refers to the observation that in systems in which limited resources are being distributed in a competitive manner, a small minority mostly ends up dominating a majority of the resources, in fact, about 20% end up owning 80% of the resources. Similar tendencies one can also observe in the sexual market in which men and women of highest SMV have a disproportional number of sex partners. The current body of evidence favors the assumption that the inequality is greater among men and roughly follows a 80/20 distribution; perhaps a bit less. | The 80/20 rule or Pareto principle refers to the observation that in systems in which limited resources are being distributed in a competitive manner, a small minority mostly ends up dominating a majority of the resources, in fact, about 20% end up owning 80% of the resources.

Evidence of major imbalances in the dating market can be found in online dating: An internal OkCupid study revealed that, on average, women only consider about 20% of men to be average or better in looks, assuming [[Decile|5 of 10]] means "average".<ref>http://archive.is/489UV</ref> Further, women receive 10 times as much attention in terms of number of received messages. On average, the least attractive women receive as many messages as above average males. These crass differences exist even though the sex ratio on OkCupid is roughly 50:50. Even harsher statistics can be found in online dating apps such as ''Tinder''. E.g. one analysis of data from Tinder suggested that "the bottom 80% of men are fighting over the bottom 22% of women and the top 78% of women are fighting over the top 20% of men".<ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref> Some of these differences might be explained by an excess of males on Tinder with a sex ratio of 79:21, but there are many other results pointing to substantial imbalances in the dating market, as summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Hypergamy|Scientific Blackpill]]. For example women have been found to rate men considerably worse also outside of online dating, to similar extent as on OkCupid. Studies also consistently show that women tend to have a lower income than their partners, and that relationships tend to be less stable and sex lives suffer when this is not the case. The available data is fairly consistent with a 80/20 distribution among men's number of sex partners and likely a bit less inequality among women, with growing sexlessness for both sexes (likely also more so for men). Overall, the data prove that women are [[Sexual gatekeeper|sexual gatekeepers]]. They have substantial power over mating decisions because men are innately more drawn to women than vice-versa.
