It's not like that men have some kind of physical advantage that allows men to be better at darts than women, like in athletics, football or swimming.

in the vast majority of competitive activities that require no physical strength but where success is measured purely objectively and not subjectively, the leading practitioners are almost exclusively male. For example:
Chess - The leading women's chess player, Hou Yifan, has been described as "leaps and bounds" ahead of her competitors, but her FIDE rating is lower than the 100th best male player in the world.
Darts - Anastasia Dobromyslova, three times womens world champion, spent three years attempting to compete on the main tour and struggled to break into the top 100 of the world rankings.
Mathematics - In the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), only two of the 50 most successful competitors of all time are female. The IMO is the mathematics field most important world event, widely described as the "most prestigious mathematical competitions in the world" and vaguely equal to the Olympics, which is why it's called an Olympiad.
Snooker - Reanne Evans, by far the best womens player ever, won the Ladies World Snooker Championship a record ten successive times between 2005 and 2014 and at one point won 61 consecutive women's matches. She was awarded a wild card on the professional main tour for the 2010–11 season, and failed to win any matches throughout the entire season, suffering 18 consecutive defeats.
Quizzing - In the 15 year history of the World Quizzing Championship, only one woman, Dorjana Širola, has ever finished in the top 10, and she has never been in the top 5.
World richest people - Of the worlds 50 richest people, only five are women, and all of these inherited their wealth. Over half of the men in the top 50 are self made billionaires.
I have come across two theories about it:
1. Selection Bias - Less women actually do any of these things as per society defined rules, so there's less chances of the top women being anywhere near the top men because of the much smaller pool.
2. Men tend to have a flatter curve for most skills than women. In other words, there are more men who are absolutely terrible and more men who are utterly brilliant compared to women who tend to gravitate more towards the middle.
