> 20 percent of men (between the ages of 25 and 50) account for about 70 percent of all self-​reported sexual partnerships with women in the United States. It is not 20/​80, but it is not far off.

> In reality, according to the GSS, the top 20% of the most sexually active never-married young men have about 50-60% of the sex. Measuring the number of partners instead of sexual frequency, the top 20% most promiscuous men account for about 60% of male sexual partnerings, and the trend is, again, quite stable over time.

**German biologist Meike Stoverock**

> According to German biologist Meike Stoverock , 80% of women are sexually attracted to 20% of men. Were you spending a Sunday filled with joy and serenity? All my condolences. Because since the publication of her essay Female Choice by Tropen editions (February 2021, 352 pages, in German only), the researcher has been firing on all cylinders: she defends her thesis in the pages of the press across the Rhine ( Die Zeit , Der Tagesspiegel , Der Standard , Deutschlandfunk Kultur radio ), answers questions from readers on her site , and begins to talk about her in English ( For Better Science ).

> 80% undesirable men, then. A figure very close to that put forward by Professor Mark Regnerus, in 2017, in his book Cheap Sex (Oxford University Press): 20% of men aged 25 to 50 arouse the interest of 70% of women. Do we drive the nail in? Go on ! In 2009, the dating site OkCupid revealed that women consider 80% of men “unattractive” (a study so controversial that it had to be removed from the Internet, but the site TechCrunch kept track of it).

> Everything about FC sounds like a bad joke, but what really makes it difficult to swallow is the uneven access to sex/reproduction for males. As a rule of thumb, 80% of the females are interested in only 20% of the males: the beautiful ones, the strong ones, the intelligent, healthy, and skilful ones

> With Female Choice, From the beginning and end of male civilization , Stoverock published a first non-fiction book [2] in February 2021 , in which she deals with the reproductive strategy among humans and calls for the "male" civilization , which she believes has only existed since settling down break. [3] At that time, they created the institution of marriage in order to ensure that the broad masses of men had access to sex and thus curb male sexual competition. [3]However, this went against nature, because according to Stoverock it suppressed the principle of "female choice" that had previously prevailed, [3] according to which 80 percent of women would only choose 20 percent of men. [4] Due to the birth control pill [5] and increasing women 's emancipation, however, the "female choice" in the western world is gaining in importance again, so that in the future many men will no longer be able to find a partner. [3] As an example, Stoverock mentions Norway, where the proportion of childless men has increased from 12 to 23 percent over the past 30 years. [4]

**OkCupid**

> women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium.

> Women, on the other hand, are harsh with their ratings. According to the study, they rate a whopping 80% of men on the site as ‘below average’. My first guess was that there was an issue with self-selection here (i.e. unattractive men congregate on the site for whatever reason). But the study includes photos of four pretty normal looking guys who were all rated to be unattractive.

**Historically**

> Maybe 80 percent of women reproduced, whereas only 40 percent of men did.
