But I also think socia l media and apps changed expectations. Girls who are average looking get way more attention than your average guy. But the same goes for guys. With more porn and only fans showing off for $5 a month  makes men think they deserve a certain level of beauty. 

My wife and I both favor the hypothesis that it's due to the greater potential for humiliation in the social media age.

Asking a girl out has always been scary enough, but now there's the remote possibility that she'll also humiliate you online for trying. I imagine there's a corresponding concern that girls have, when it comes to actually being in a relationship.

It's a brave new world and we need to work out some new norms ASAP.

I see. Yeah, sociology questions never have simple AB answers...

Is polyamory more of a thing these days?

That might be part of it, but they're also having less sex than prior generations.
