        Behold the decline of stranger danger. In 1940, ~80% of couples met through family, friends or elementary/high school. Today, ~67% meet online or at bars.

        From the conclusion: "Internet dating has displaced friends and family from their former roles as key intermediaries in the formation of new unions." We used to rely on intimates to screen our future partners. Today, that's work we do ourselves.

        I’d be interested in hearing more about that small bump in the 80s.

        I'm just glad that so many people are no longer dating family. Seven percent still seems high, but at least it is trending in the right direction.

        Pretty sure that is "met through family" not "dating family", especially since in the actual data the line is "through family"

        Recent increase in meetings in bars/restaurants is unexpected, no?

        With meetups and other affinity group facilitators, the line between meeting online or in a public place as a group becomes blurred.
