That is the share of all heterosexual couples who now report having met their partner online. That makes online including dating apps the most popular single method of meeting a romantic partner more popular than all the traditional avenues, whether through family friends at a bar, their work, church in the neighborhood, etc..

And that those most vulnerable to the effects of this transition are heard and also reap the benefits of this new economy. Lees meer
