studies on dating sites show that women rank 90% of men (90% of the count of men) as ",in the bottom 50%" (of attractiveness.)

Most people don't take dating sites as an accurate representation of the real world and with good reason. Men far outnumber women on those sites, so of course the women can afford to be choosier than men. In environments where women outnumber men (e.g. college campuses, nursing homes) it's the men who are choosy. This is not even getting into the men who whine about how lonely/sexually frustrated they are while also ignoring every woman who's not an 8 or above. IOW male hypergamy.

The cognoscenti are well aware of the fact that the data from dating sites is somewhat flawed - but what better statistics do you have?

You rightly point out that dating sites are dominated by males - that, in itself, is a telling datapoint!

In environments where women outnumber men (e.g. college campuses, nursing homes) it's the men who are choosy.

You have statistics to back up that claim? Even if you do, I doubt that they will be more robust than the dating site stats - probably based on polling data collected on a handful of campuses, in which a measly few hundred co-eds were interviewed.

This is not even getting into the men who whine about how lonely/sexually frustrated they are while also ignoring every woman who's not an 8 or above. IOW male hypergamy.

Can you cite any studies corroborating this claim?

You seem awfully adept at pulling outlandish claims out of your... hat... and using them to buttress your arguments.

Regards,
