It doesn't matter if "women as a whole" don't think this way. Dating isn't about appealing to everyone. It's about appealing to the people who might be compatible for you. I find that the younger generation is more emotionally intelligent and interested in self-improvement than older generations at times because it's far more normalized now than it once was.

Your comment makes a lot of assumptions. I'm a therapist. I don't just "interact with people who think just like" me.
