So I see a few takes… But I think it’s been a slow and mostly private change. My mom is a wedding planner and it’s been a bit more than 10 years since she went from saying ‘they met x at y’ yo ‘they met online’ for most of her weddings. Most folks that I can recall were on MatchDotCom. It was interesting seeing the progression form ‘oh that’s kinda weird’ to it being the norm from her perspective.

Edit - …I never answered why my mom thinks it’s happening. In short, the USA worklife mentality. People just aren’t going out to clubs and shit like that as much. So it’s easier for them to do a few clicks while working to meet some new people.

it’s important to really explain evolution to folks. as someone that grew up in churches but always have been very scientific… when you really talk to them simply, they kind of get on board. like ‘wouldn’t it make sense that bright colored weak prey would die quicker than camouflaged prey’ - they seem to be able to make that hurdle.

@fossilesque I was super confused by the title… but the article makes a lot of sense.
