This graph displays the number of sex partners since age 18 for never-married men ages 30-39. You can see that this is a very diverse group. More than 10% have had zero partners ("40 year-old virgins"), and 41% have been with five or fewer. By contrast, 35% report a dozen or more partners.
If we divide these men into a low (0-5) and high group (12+), the median for the low group is 2, and it's 25 for the high group. That's 12.5 times more women than the low group.
The high group --roughly one-third of never-married men -- looks like it is following the high mating effort strategy that was discussed in the last post, while the low group, with a median of two women, seems to be doing poorly at any strategy.
