There's a disconnect between what you're arguing and what others are.
And that's because your experience is obviously not through dating apps and social media, in the now, which has become the norm (as by evidence in the OP where a man can attract 100s and 100s of women within a short span of time, in the palm of his hands, literally), but rather in-person interactions where "over time" attraction can build. 18-24+ year olds have had their bars filtered by what is instant, and that's why that instant gratification is only fulfilled by looks or what they immediately find intriguing.
It's definitely not a subset in this day and age.
No different in principle to young women being less likely to cook now, partly because their time is allocated to doing other things that interest them (and not beholden to patriarchal household roles), and because they've grown accustomed to shyt like Doordash where they can get instant food, barely lifting a finger.
We're losing recipes. Word to Michael Irvin.
Essentially, technology has made those time-extensive interactions you speak of more of an anomaly because we've become a society that just wants it now, rather than later.
