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?

Huh. I never knew that people really do meet at bars for more than just a one night stand.
It is more that you meet them for a one night stand. Then you decide to hang out later. Then you wake up one day and you two are married with children.
Yeah, one night stands can turn into lasting relationships. I know a decent number of married couples who met in zero-commitment contexts, whether it’s a hookup from a bar or while on vacation in a tourist town or things like that. Or even meeting on a hookup-oriented app that somehow turned into a not-just-for-hookups service after becoming acquired by Match, but during the phase when it was most definitely mainly for no-strings hookups.
Met my girlfriend at a bar, but that’s not why either of us were there.
Became friends first, didn’t start dating till a few months later.
There really just aren’t that many places to meet people irl any more, and I simply won’t do online dating.
I never thought so many people who meet online get into actual relationships, not just one night stands.
