More Men Than Women Are Now Single. It's Not a Good Sign
Almost a third of adult single men live with a parent
time.com
A small group of men can date a lot more women without practicing true polyamory, a fair amount of women are "content" with serially dating the top % men, or even dating the same men at the same time as long as it's kept somewhat discrete by the man. I've seen a guy who had a different chick for almost every day of the week, it should have been incredibly obvious what was going on based on just his time restrictions and the effort he was putting in. Occasionally one of them would find the wrong hairs in the shower drain and freak out or something but...they usually just went right back with him. For these women getting limited attention from a desirable man and being more or less commodified was better than dating an "average" dude.
Men are the majority in the standard dating/start a family ranges (late teens up to 40's). It's only as the male population is reduced through higher rates of mortality (jobs, interpersonal violence, suicide) that women become the majority.
The biggest factor however is probably that women have less of a desire or incentives to engage in dating. They already know they can get sex/a partner relatively quick off a basically endless supply of "average" dudes off dating apps so why not hold out for that "special" guy? Maybe he never shows up but they (typically) have a large social network to compensate with and a lower libido pushing them towards finding someone now. Women are simply in a much better position to be picky than men and less incentive to engage at all with average men.
