Okay, but at least 10,000 and tens of thousands are very different things.

Evolutionarily modern humans have existed for 180,000-200,000 years. So, for the absolute minimum value of 'tens' (20, 2 tens) that would require each generation to be 9-10 years.

It actually means the same thing in both cases, just the object of the attraction changes. Whether you're attracting attention or mass, you're still attracting.
