You didn't want anecdotes but wanted empirical evidence, well the behaviors around dating apps are just that. The double standards exist because historically birth control wasn't a thing. I am not agreeing with it, but that's that. There is a reason that most feminists applaud the invention of the pill.

How do you account for prostitution
Then look at prostitution - a female dominated industry, where most the men involved are also hired by men.
I'm going to go through this slowly.
You said:
Far more women have slept with 50 men than men have slept with 50 women. I am not picking a side, just stating the truth on that.
I said:
That is NOT the truth. That is a falsehood.

From the Abstract of the 2018 article I linked:
In the article I linked, even though men usually report more partners than women in surveys they found ways of narrowing using certain parameters - bringing it closer to equal.
This paper shows your "truth" to be false.

From the Abstract of the 2000 article you linked:
In the article you linked - it looked at an alternative way to sample by attempting to better represent women who participate in prostitution. I would argue that they are then underrepresenting men who - even in anonymous surveys due to social desirability bias - would be reluctant to count their sex with prostitutes in their reporting. But even so...
The article you linked AGREES with the article I linked - that the mean may actually be more equal than we might think, with men not being more promiscuous than women when considering opposite sex partners, nor vice versa. Not just agrees with the article I linked, but the one I linked actually cites the article you linked and discusses how considering that slightly adjusts the findings.
The article you linked shows your "truth" to be false.
EDIT: to add table from my linked source:
I don't have access to the Natsal-3 data they used to build this table. However, using the table, I estimated that:
Men who reported 50+ opposite sex partners: 1.3-1.4%
Women who reported 50+ opposite sex partners: 0.4-0.5%
Natsal-3 didn't ask if any of the respondent had sex as a living. However, the paper states that based upon studies, they should see 26 of the women (about 0.3%) to have at one point earned a living as prostitutes.
If none of the women who reported 50+ opposite sex partners were the 26 expected current/former prostitutes and they all had more than 50+ opposite sex partners - that moves women to 0.7-0.8%
Still fewer women than men with 50+ opposite sex partners.
In the end, your truth is not so. Even based upon your own sourcing.
But i don't expect Morado to read his own sources.
Please see above. See what I said in reply to the person who said that it's the "truth." See what I linked. They jive.
My survey even cites the other survey:
In Natsal-3, 10.8% of men reported ever having paid for opposite-sex sex, compared with 0.1% of women (
M [
SD], number of paid partners reported by men was 5.94 [12.66]; among women [
n = 10], 11.41 [30.14]). Among these participants, 35.2% of men and 63.1% of (the 10) women reported that they had excluded these paid partners from their total number of lifetime partners. It has been suggested that full-time sex workers are underrepresented in national surveys (Brewer et al.,

). Around 26 sex workers would be expected in the sample of 8,530 women, but Natsal-3 did not ask women whether they had been paid for sex.
