This:

There is a significant search effort for both sexes in finding a quality compatible partner that reciprocates their feelings.

doesn't prove this:

if you consider quality monogamous relationships the situation is much more symmetrical

which is false. Alpha men have are just as disproportionally desired as relationship partners, as they're as sex partners. Gotta ask where'd you get your conclusion anyway? What are your citations?

Are they? ISTM the men most likely to have been in a stable, happy relationship with an awesome woman for years don't much resemble the men most likely to have one-night stands.
