The article explains this. They are either dating each other or dating older men.

They didn't mention the fact that successful younger males are dating multiple women at once. That's another factor.

Is it? Are open relationships that statistically significant?

I think we're talking about ambiguous relationships, not open ones.

So situations where women think they're in a relationship, but the man does not (or not with them). Again, is this statistically significant? Are women's standards for what qualifies as a relationship low enough that they think they're in one with 1/2, 1/3, or even less, of a man's time?

I'm willing to bet that it contributes to the total in a way which isn't negligible.

I guess, but there's a vast gulf between "isn't negligible" and "30% vs. 60%"
