How Couples Met

[media=https://youtu.be/ArlY8EKc8Vw?t=2]
A two-minute video timeline comparing the different ways couples met, from 1930 to 2024.

The most interesting part to me is the rapid rise of couples meeting online in the 21st century. That’s not too surprising, but the percentage of couples meeting this way today is astounding, nonetheless.

The creator of the video cites research from Stanford University and national surveys as the main sources of data.

Also, the music used in the video (“Funky Disco”) is pretty good.

My first wife was a friend of my older sister. We dated briefly in hs and it didn’t work. We met up at a party I threw in the summer in college and it did work.

I’ve also dated someone that worked for me and dated someone that’s a friend from EP.

I’m currently married to a woman I met on Match. We dated for 5 years prior to getting married last year.
