the reason there is such a perception of promiscuity in the dating market is because the non-promiscuous people are barely dating. This has always been directionally the case of course - promiscuous women account for most guys' sexual partners; men tend to share the same notches. The only thing changing is that the ends of the curve are getting more extreme: the promiscuous are becoming more promiscuous (and are further amplified by the internet), the sexually reserved becoming even more reserved. Many of the latter are essentially becoming asexual and indeed asocial; culturally they are almost invisible. So this doesn't mean the perception of women you date having high body counts is "wrong" but it is incomplete. It's like saying you have low unemployment when labor participation rates are cratering. The pool is just smaller. And if you want to find women outside of the pool, you'll be hard pressed in most cases because a lot of them avoid social interaction altogether. Even if you see them out they're skittish. That doesn't mean that hypergamy isn't real, only that how women respond to hypergamy depends on the woman (another thing I have been saying the past decade to red pill dorks). Some women date the same men, but other women stop dating altogether when the guy they actually want is unavailable. They don't chase after him - they write romance off altogether. So resist the impulse to draw expansive conclusions when you are inherently dealing with selection bias. For example a lot of girls swiping on the same guy on an app isn't real life - not only because most of those interactions never materialize into anything, but because many women aren't on those apps either. Normal, healthy ones don't stay on there for months at a time even if they don't meet someone. You are looking at the behavior of a subset of the population that is willing to participate in the game, not the ones who are jaded / discouraged and refused. -- From the article: "For most young adults, the most common number of sexual partners in the past year is one or zero. A minority of men and a minority of women account for most casual sex, and they mostly pair with each other. Most sex still happens inside relationships."
