Above-average or above-median?

I meant above median. But the graph you link to is skewed heavily to the left. Looks like women think something like 15% of men are above-medium attractiveness. I'm probably not on the right-hand side of that graph.

I constructed a graph of the distribution of number of sexual partners from a large dataset. I expected that most women were having sex with a small # of guys. This is true, but it's also true, to almost as great a degree, that most men are having sex with a small number of women.

skewed heavily to the left.

You're using the term backwards. (I looked it up before posting my comment, and have just done so again.)

Where did you get your dataset?
