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, but 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. Further, [[Gynocentrism|gynocentric]] welfare states have allowed women to be financially independent having their own incomes, often higher than men's, which likely renders more men sexually unattractive to women. | 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, but more so for men.

It is conceivable that since women regard the vast majority of men to be physically unattractive, women's sexual freedom and financial independence, plus their seemingly innate tendency to prefer a man of higher socioeconomic status than their own, will increase sexual inequality because only a few men are desired by women, far beyond the small imbalances that already exist and that already render some men's lives not worth living. | It is conceivable that since women regard the vast majority of men to be physically unattractive, women's sexual freedom and financial independence, plus their seemingly innate tendency to prefer a man of higher socioeconomic status than their own, will increase sexual inequality because only a few men are desired by women, far beyond the small imbalances that already exist and that already render some men's lives not worth living. | ||
