The idea that only a small percentage of very attractive men are statistically off-setting the average number of sexual partners typical men have in a lifetime.
An example of The Wilt Chamberlain Theory is Wilt himself. Let's take the number of sexual partners a regular man has had with how many Wilt Chamberlain has had(20,000 reputed). Then divide by the number of men(2), round to the nearest 1000, and the average would be roughly around 10,000 partners each.
