It's interesting that you, as a game/PUA proponent, would use the number of lifetime partners that women have as an indicator of whether or not relationships are healthy. It's also worth noting that the New York survey uses the mean, while the national survey uses the median, which exaggerates the difference between the two.

Rural US is in shambles in terms of relationships, despite the lack of anonymity

Is this really true? There seem to me large pockets of North America where relationships are basically healthy in spite of everything, and those are disproportionately located in rural areas.

The stats seem to back this up. New York women average 20 lifetime partners (see here), while the median number of partners for the country as a whole is, at least according to the stats, 4 (see here). (Some of the women are lying, but the liars are disproportionately among those with the highest numbers.)
