Online dating is now the number 1 way couples meet, for better or worse

From VICE:
“In 2017, 39 percent of opposite-sex couples first saw each other as clusters of pixels on a screen, while nearly every other method for meeting partners — at work, through friends, through school — has dropped off, according to a new dataset analysis released this week. This means that the internet may have largely replaced friends and family as the way that couples meet.”
“The authors, two researchers from Stanford and the University of New Mexico, collected surveys from 3,510 heterosexual couples, asking broadly “How did you meet?” Two percent of couples who connected in 1995 met via the internet, a slice of the pie that nudged to 5 percent in 2000 and rocketed to about 20 percent for couples who met in 2010.”
