So I found this article completely lacking in real information. They could at least misrepresent an inconclusive study or something. This isn't even trying.

It does set the topic for a possibly interesting discussion. In the era of tinder is the dating scene better or worse for your stereotypical HN user (geeky/nerdy). Is there any evidence of a 90/10 rule for promiscuity in humans?

In my anecdotal experience, the dating scene is better. I'm geeky, pale, and balding, but I put up a few flattering photos of myself and I can get a couple dates a week if I put effort into it. I can't imagine pulling that off if I had to rely on real-life social interaction alone.

I saw a study that indicates roughly 10000 years ago 17 females reproduced for every male. Don't have the link handy
