The percentage of men who are able to obtain sexual access is highly variable depending on culture. Feminist and polygamous societies entail a large percentage of men forced into celibacy. Interestingly, the 20 most unstable societies in the world are polygamous and racked by civil war.
In hunter-gatherer bands (nomadic foragers) some men have sex much more than others (hence the DNA disparities) but all or most young men have sex. Attempts to monopolize either resources or sexual access are considered the greatest social transgression:
When hierarchies developed, rulers realized that enforced monogamy would "spread the wealth" and make it less likely that they'd be overthrown.
Since we have lived as nomadic foragers for 95 percent of our history, and since most societies developed enforced monogamy, one could well argue that feminist societies are extremely unnatural.
TLDR: the argument many people use (even here) that women are naturally hypergamous, and that it makes sense that only the best of the best men have access to sex, is a total nonsense. During most of our history, the societies were balanced, all men had access to sex (AF/BB still occurred however), but modern hellscape of dating is a result of unnatural feminist intervention.

(http://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Hunter-Gatherers’_Egalitarianism)Yet nomadic hunter-gatherers have nevertheless been uniformly egalitarian, seemingly for thousands if not millions of years. Boehm explains this seeming contradiction with the claim that hunter-gatherers have “reverse dominance hierarchies”: the adult males in the society form a general coalition to prevent any one of their number, alone or with a few allies, from dominating the others. Male egalitarianism is not necessarily extended to females—the degree to which females are subject to male despotism varies, even among hunter-gatherers. But the reverse dominance hierarchy prevents the monopolization of females by dominant males. This makes possible the heterosexual nuclear family as we know it, based on (relatively) stable cross-gender pair bonding and mutual nurturance of children by parents, precisely what is missing in our closest primate relatives.
