Top 1% SMV (Sexual Market Value) Male here. Taking ?s on being 1% SMV ITT

No. The paper does not estimate how many partners the top 1% of men have.

What it does provide are several related statistics:

* It cites data that the top 1% of men on Hinge receive 16% of all women’s likes, while the top 15% receive 50% and the bottom 50% receive only 4%. These are statistics about dating-app attention, not sexual or reproductive partners.

* It cites a U.S. study finding that the top 5% of American men increased their number of lifetime sex partners by 32% between survey periods (2002 and 2011–13), while men in lower percentiles saw declines. However, it does not report the actual average number of partners for that top 5%.

* It also cites survey data from Norway that men report desiring 25 lifetime sex partners on average, while women report about 6, but that is a preference survey rather than a measure of actual behavior.

The paper’s argument is largely qualitative: it contends that dating apps concentrate female attention on a relatively small fraction of men, and that this contributes to fewer stable pair bonds and lower fertility. It does not estimate that “the top 1% of men have X partners.”

If your question is instead “Based on the underlying data, how many sexual partners do the top 1% of men actually have?”, I can track down the original studies the authors cite (such as Harper et al. 2017 and the Hinge data sources) and see whether those papers report actual partner counts rather than just concentration of likes or changes over time.

Such policies would likely exacerbate male marginalization, but new technologies are on the horizon that could offer men reproductive equality.

So women get money, live-in staff, community support, emotional support et. al. in order to raise babby by themselves, and men get hookers? And we didn't make this deal YESTERDAY?!

By "new technologies are on the horizon that could offer men reproductive equality", they mean men can jerk off into a sample cup and form babby in an artificial womb.

so basically 'mating' has nothing to do anymore with reproduction, and 'parenting' has nothing to do anymore with being a couple, marriage, and 'family'? they're suggesting men become single parents and women separately become single parents and kids just won't have a mom and and dad, but a mom OR a dad...?
