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?

        Married 35 years. Met online in the 80s. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, just like any other method.

        It’s interesting to follow each line and see how time has affected it. I noted the “Work” line and how it goes up as women move into the workplace. Also how “Family”, “Neighbor”, and “Grade School” drop some as it became more normal for people to move away from their hometowns for careers or college.

      You meet the person you decide to be with where you meet them. I don’t know where your judgemental tone comes from, perhaps bad experiences or just some stereotype. If two people meet, find they’re a good match, and the relationship works, why are some ways pathetic while presumably others are the “correct” way?
