I'd criticize the graph. There's no way males' social value has exactly the same amount of variance as females' value. Imagine a 22 year old Stanford Law student. Sure, he hasn't made any money yet, but an 18 year old girl will know that this guy is going to be rich. He'll have no problem at all sleeping with girls in the 18-22 bracket.

You're giving these girls too much credit. Young, attractive (and even unattractive, for that matter) 18-22 year old girls don't care where you go to school. They are not evaluating men on the basis of their long term earning potential - they want finished products, not possibilities. Graduate campuses at schools like Harvard, Yale, and Duke aren't being swarmed by hot young 18-22 year olds looking to snag a husband and students at the Law/Business/Med schools there are not drowning in pools of hot 18-22 year old options.

Your degree is not going to drop panties. These girls are, first and foremost, looking for young guys who can turn them on, show them a good time, and impress their friends. These traits are not at all strongly correlated with earning potential.

If you have good game then your degree is a plus, but a guy in that age group with good game would be doing well with or without the Stanford degree (the kid at San Diego Law with the same game and all else being equal can get very similar results). If he has "no problem at all" attracting women in that age bracket, it won't be because of his degree.

In the US at least, that guy will have a much harder time with many 18-22 year olds when he is 36 due to the age gap.

Your typical Stanford Law student is going to have a much wider range of attractive options at 36 than he will at 22. Unlike his 22 year old self, he'll have the option of not only pursuing 18-22 year olds (with the benefit of resources he didn't have at 22) but also 22-30 year olds, a range that includes a large number of very attractive women who are more likely to give a damn about his academic pedigree and income/future earning potential than your standard teenaged co-ed. He will have more resources (making the pursuit of all women, including the 18-22 year olds, substantially easier), more experience, and likely higher confidence levels (thanks to the extra 10+ years of social and professional experience) at 36 as well. The odds are that he'll be better off in pretty much every way.
