I don't know about where you all live, but around here hot rods are almost exclusively surrounded and occupied by old coots who are reliving a fantasy and building the cars that Hot Rod magazine tells them to. There are no hot girls, just bored looking wives and grandmas.
I concede all your points. Most of the people - male and female - around 1930s cars are old people reliving their fantasies. Yes, these guys build according to a(n) (expensive) recipe they are given by lesser publications put out by Source Interlink.

Again, I can't disagree. I should have used the term "street rod" instead of hot rod. That term embodies everything you are talking about; the old guys, the car's "stance", and trying to be "period correct"
Hot rodding may have moved on, but if donks and hellaflush cars exist, there's room for street rods in this world, too. I'm an old guy, and maybe that's why I like street rods. Besides, so few people actually care about cars in any way that I probably have more in common with a hellaflush kid than I do with someone living down the street.
I still like pin up girls on old cars.
