>We present new data from a nationally representative 2017 survey of American adults. For heterosexual couples in the U.S., meeting online has become the most popular way couples meet, eclipsing meeting through friends for the first time around 2013. Moreover, among the couples who meet online, the proportion who have met through the mediation of third persons has declined over time. We find that Internet meeting is displacing the roles that family and friends once played in bringing couples together.
End times. I sure hope you zoomers never expected to be judged by potential significant others on anything other than how attractive you look in your profile picture.
Yeah, go meet some sweetheart who is riding the cock carousel on a dating app. Surely she will be the one.

Considering unironically becoming a recluse. Dating is already one step in the wrong direction. This society is dead. Idk why anyone in their 20s and 30s even brings up the word retirement.

I am not a full on cave dwelling wizard yet..but it can't be more than 10 years off.
The really funny part is that nobody is teaching men and women how to interact with each other except the trash that is entertainment media. The message for men seems to be no deeper than "Just walk into a room and talk to a girl. You'll get one." For women it is "Sleep around as much as you want. If the man you want doesn't like that he is probably a queer."
Then marriage and relationships fall to pieces and everybody is left wondering what went wrong.
Jose Richardson
not all of them, but most do. But most women use dating apps now anyway, even if they won't admit it. Move with the times or be a societal dropout.

>or be a societal dropout Do you even know where you are right now?
Charles Perry
My last girlfriend was in 2013 right when this shit took off. Haven't seen anyone for longer than a couple weeks since
Asher Diaz
I really wish I was taught something about how to act around girls as a teen/pre-teen. Everyone just assumes you'll eventually get it. I never did. To make matters worse I grew up in the midst of the transition into online dating and social media. Now I'm a 20 year old kissless virgin. My life's a meme.
Brandon Morales
how else do you meet? there used to be organized events for younger people to mix and meet in every generation until the boomers came along and mocked them and destroyed the concept of them along with the concept of early marriage and kids
Evan Fisher
still posting this fingolian bitch with smelly feet?
Having tried 4 different online dating sites Ill say that its pretty awful unless youre in a city. It's mostly filled with Indian scammers that try to blackmail you into paying them bitcoin.

It's baffling to me. I'm 29, been in a relationship since I was 22, before Tinder existed. I work with a few guys who are in their late teens/early 20's and I've spoke to them about this. They can't even comprehend just approaching a girl like me and my friends used to do. I'm not really a cool guy by any means but if I could go back to being my 19 year old self I would be an ultra giga Chad in comparison just because I wasn't afraid of just going and speaking to girls. Been out of the game for a while now though so I'd have no idea what to do if I was suddenly single.
When you get a message from a "19 year old trad girl" who asks within 5 minutes to "show cock and balls now"...I think it would be a pretty clear warning sign.
Christian Cox
Yea theres obvious ones that are fake, mainly based on how many grammatical errors are in their messages, but theres just a lot of fake profiles in general.
Cooper Wood
so whats the website for normal young people? I tried tinder and okcupid, but they're all full of outright sluts.
Oliver Hall
christiansingles probably
Elijah Reyes
bumble is the supposed to be a better tinder
Joshua Fisher
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sluts are the new normal.
Camden Campbell
Are you me?
Juan Allen
Yup, I am going to die alone.
Evan Cruz
I am 29 and it doesn't matter what you do if you are average or below because you're just a pest at that point
you're either in or you're not. it seems like you fall into the latter category
Just got an account on one, and it seems kinda hard, like im not ugly and I got some decent shit going for me, Im just bad at conversation and kinda introverted.
