I shouldn't have made the two seem mutually exclusive. I think physical attractiveness is becoming a far higher priority for each successive generation of men while hard work, loyalty, dedication, etc are declining in perceived value, to the extent that these may even be viewed as the traits of a loser. We have abandoned the benefits of meritocracy, and young men are adapting to that. Rather than looksmaxxing in lieu of pursuing success, young men are looksmaxxing as it has become essential to success.

But "hard work, loyalty, dedication" are literally in opposition against career and wealth as goals and were for years. Modern business environment is not rewarding these properties and people who want to have a good career or wealth can not prioritize them. Loyalty especially directly makes you less successful and basically a sucker. And it has nothing to do with gender or women, it is business no valuing. Hard work is only loosely related. Hard work and dedication on itself are not what makes your salary go up or makes you promoted. Understanding office politics does a lot more. My point is, this is not the case of young men not valuing career and wealth. People who value career and wealth cant afford to be loyal.
