Demasiado only changes according to gender when it's used as an adjective (meaning "too much" or "too many") that modifies a noun. e.g. Tengo demasiadas faldas.
Here, though, demasiado is used as an adverb that modifies the adjective joven. And as with most adverbs, it doesn't change according to number or gender.

Interesting. I was thinking of the "dear, beloved, affectionate" definition (#2 under the adjective definitions on spanishdict.com), but I was misunderstanding it's use and thought it meant "pretty."
