This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

I was about to disagree as the last couple of women I've gone home with I've met at the bar.

Then I remembered that "oh yeah, those were one night stands, not coupling. Last couple of relationships definitely started on the apps."

BUT, I will say that at least three couples (one has recently graduated to marriage!) on my various soccer teams met on the team or through team friends. So there's still sort of hope!
