Treat the woman well and you can have a steady fwb. After a month of swiping 1000 people a week you will have more dates than you can handle. If you run out of people in your city look at other cities close by.
The point is that 1% is the median? You can get some idea of the skew of the distribution by looking at the other graphs...

Also attractiveness isn't set in stone, it can be worked on. 40% of the population is obese. Just by not being obese you move into the top 60%. Now don't be overweight and you are in the top 30%. Go to the gym a bit, suddenly you are in the top 10%. Get some professional pictures taken, suddenly you are in the top 5%. And even if you aren't, it just means you have to swipe a bit more.
How about people who have genuine deformities and disfigurements that can't be "worked on"? (and I'm not taking about Incel nonsense like "recessed jaw lines", being less than 6' tall, etc).
Another interesting thing is that there are actually 3 such communities, each of which react to the same predicament differently:
"Incels" -- Anger
"Forever Alone" -- Sadness
"MGTOW" -- Resentment(?)
