The implication is that the statistics are what they are under the condition that women take the precautions that they do.

In other words, the 1/X statistic is conditioned on the average person's precautions (like not walking outside in a lightning storm), and by not applying on those precautions, you're using the statistic outside of the distribution that it applies to.

The issue that GGP brings up though is that women actually aren't following these guidelines since they date complete strangers via these apps.
