The ratios discussed here are basically in line with the theory of the disposable male. As in 70% of females procreate, but only 30% of males.

Those are biological ratios observed across species.

High value males can deliver sperm to multiple (as in hundreds/thousands) females. That is the economics of mammalian sperm and eggs, the scale of production is different by four to six orders of magnitude.

I didn't know that, interesting. That is a real difference between men and women. Since I assume that is caused by biology, I think it means that procreation is more important for women, and therefore their criteria for a great mate differs from the the criteria men have.
