Besides the share of wealth of the top 20%, another measure of inequality is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient GINI coefficient] which measures how much the distribution of wealth deviates from equal distribution with a GINI of 0 meaning equal distribution. | Besides the share of wealth of the top 20%, another measure of inequality is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient GINI coefficient] which measures how much the distribution of wealth deviates from equal distribution with a GINI of 0 meaning equal distribution. | ||
A study analyzing GINI coefficients in human [[relationship|relationships]] found that “single men have a higher Gini coefficient (.536) than single women (.470). Thus, female sexual partners are more unequally distributed among single men than male sexual partners are among single women”<ref>https://contexts.org/blog/who-has-how-many-sexual-partners/</ref>. This roughly corresponds to the top 20% men having 60% of the sex, so 60/20, and 56/20 for women | A study analyzing GINI coefficients in human [[relationship|relationships]] found that “single men have a higher Gini coefficient (.536) than single women (.470).

Mark Regnerus estimated the distribution to be 70/20 for men older than 25.<ref>https://books.google.de/books?id=928uDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=%22Pareto+would+be+proud,+or+nearly+so%22&source=bl&ots=jErxDCkmJ4&hl=en&sa=X#v=onepage&q=%22Pareto%20would%20be%20proud%2C%20or%20nearly%20so%22&f=false</ref> Data from GSS also suggests it is around 68/20 for men and a bit less unequal, 59/20 for women.{{citation needed}} | Mark Regnerus estimated the distribution to be 70/20 for men older than 25.<ref>https://books.google.de/books?id=928uDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA86&lpg=PA86&dq=%22Pareto+would+be+proud,+or+nearly+so%22&source=bl&ots=jErxDCkmJ4&hl=en&sa=X#v=onepage&q=%22Pareto%20would%20be%20proud%2C%20or%20nearly%20so%22&f=false</ref> Data from GSS also suggests it is around 68/20 for men and a bit less unequal, 59/20 for women.{{citation needed}} | ||
A study found that Tinder's GINI coefficient for men was comparable with the income inequality of third-world countries (see chart below).<ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref> | A study found that Tinder's GINI coefficient for men was comparable with the income inequality of third-world countries (see chart below).<ref>https://medium.com/@worstonlinedater/tinder-experiments-ii-guys-unless-you-are-really-hot-you-are-probably-better-off-not-wasting-your-2ddf370a6e9a</ref> | ||
