2) so, if all relationships were monogamous and heterosexual, and there were as many women in the world as men, then the effect of “economic pressures” on the ratio of single men to single women…

4) the gender discrepancy doesn’t have anything to do with economic pressure or gender roles. There are more single men than single women because there are more women than men in relationships…

5) …which can only really be caused by one thing: somehow there are individual relationships with more women than men, more frequently than the reverse. In other words, more women are LGBT than men.

5) the gap is bigger than that, though; 3% more men say they’re single than women. Which, I think, implies one of two things: a) some men are dating multiple women. I’m guessing most of those aren’t disclosed to the women :p b) some pairs disagree on whether they’re dating

5) So the study is interesting after all! Either men are cheating more than women, or sometimes a woman thinks they’re in a relationship but the man thinks it’s just something casual. Honestly, probably both :p The study just doesn’t have anything to do with TIME’s headline.

You are wrong, your assumptions only hold in a fixed point in time. You assume that time does not exist. Over a lifetime a man can have like a very high number of female partner while those only had a few men. And that's actually the experience of a lot of people.
