Its and interesting concept, and one that may have already occurred in some societies in the past. Imagine seeing someone attractive, you get to know them, and during this time you find out something that destroys their attraction. Maybe finding out they were of the opposite gender you like, maybe finding out they were an awful person who abuses pets, maybe finding out that they were much younger than you assumed. How much of the destruction of attraction is biological in nature verses social in nature? And even more complex is that idea that the origin is sociological in nature, develops to be biological. I'd suggest looking up research on linguistic relativity. The extent of the impact of it is still being researched, and it is unknown the extent it might impact attraction (even far more mundane things like object placement and color recognition are still being researched and debated among scientist). 2018 article that has found evidence some mental processes may be impacted while others appear not to be: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0024384117304941 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002438411... Sadly basically all the research I found on it is locked behind paywalls, but I will say that while a lot of the initial concepts have been challenged and thrown out, from what I've read the idea as a whole has survived to some extent.
