The sex ratio is a more important statistic than the absolute female population size, and it’s close to 1 in most places. (OTOH, the absolute female population size does affect whether e.g. numbers’ game is a feasible strategy.)
Given that not all women will be appropriate partners, having there be more of them increases the number of appropriate partners, provided that there’s a sufficiently effective filtering system to ensure that time isn’t wasted on false positives.
But each of those women has a small pool of men.
