Back in the days before free love, young men actively persued women to find a wife, someone they could spend the rest of their life with. You were expected to be married young and pop out your first baby straight away. Guys spent countless time and money courting girls so they could have a life partner.
In more modern times, people aren't expected to be married young. They can get married whenever they want, and if they grow bored of the person they can always get a no fault divorce. Most people in their early to mid 20s aren't even thinking about marriage, they just want to have fun and perhaps focus on their career before settling down. Relationships generally don't last very long, and a lot of friends with benefits situations occur. So why the fuck would some young bloke spend a lot of his time and money doing romantic things for a woman when the relationship is not very likely to last for too long anyway.
