If someone has a laundry list of qualities they demand or are expecting perfection they will most likely stay single. If they are shallow to the extreme they might not even be capable of being in a loving relationship even if they find somebody they think is perfect. Also they will have much competition for the shrinking pool of who's considered dateable.
In other words there are ramifications for a society becoming more shallow, even among the shallow themselves.
