This should not be surprising when you take the role of culture into account. Women were generally marriageable back then... now, thanks to our anti-culture, they are not.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
Women discuss hypergamy as a normal dating strategy, but also that it has consequences

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

When you think about it, what does this custom say? Basically that women are children and are not responsible for their own well being. You have to get approval from the father or other guardian so that they can "pass on" the care of the woman from themselves to you. I wonder how feminists feel about it?
Maybe this is why it isn't quite as common as it used to be, but guys will still do it so they can show off lol.
I think women like to see this because it's part of the tradition of the wedding celebration (which they love), and because it's almost like a sh!t test for the guy: Will he have the nerve to stand up to the former "alpha male" in her life, her father, and ask for her hand?
If I had to narrow it down to just one factor, I'd say The Pill.
