Above-average or above-median? The latter doesn’t imply the former, as the distribution of male attractiveness is skewed to the right. (I’m asking mostly because of your last paragraph.)
There is some secret courting dance the male must do at that point, and I don’t know it.
Me neither. :-( Well, I might have figured it out recently, but I haven’t met anyone who obviously wanted to hook up with me since.
(Fun fact: a couple of times when I was in Ireland, I would approach nearly every single woman in the club and the only one who wouldn’t turn me down within minutes and I would end up making out with was the one who had approached me first. Then she would tell me that she had a boyfriend, or give me a fake number, and leave.)
I meant above median. But the graph you link to is skewed heavily to the left. Looks like women think something like 15% of men are above-medium attractiveness. I’m probably not on the right-hand side of that graph.
I constructed a graph of the distribution of number of sexual partners from a large dataset. I expected that most women were having sex with a small # of guys. This is true, but it’s also true, to almost as great a degree, that most men are having sex with a small number of women.

You’re using the term backwards. (I looked it up before posting my comment, and have just done so again.)
Where did you get your dataset?
At clubs?
