It’s been trending this way for years, but seeing it graphed out like this is shocking.

What do you think are the effects of this drastic change?

    I remember being in highschool in the late 90s/early 2000s and someone found out I had an online dating profile.

    I was relentlessly teased about it, borderline bullying.

    I eventually met my current wife online, couldn’t be happier.

    looking back, the teasing was likely because I was the only genuinely nice guy those girls knew and were upset their choices for dates were abysmal. it’s all for the best though, I wouldn’t have wanted to be around anyone who could treat me that way and be ok with it.

    I’m pleased that the stigma against online dating has all but vanished.
