> Interestingly enough, wife and I met online, in 1994 (EFNET, IRC). I think people started to meet online before 2010.
Certainly, but back then meeting online was highly unusual and there was a period where online dating had a bit of a stigma. It's probably only been in the last decade or so that it's been fully normalized.
- ascorbic 6y agoI met my now wife on OkCupid in 2005, and while not necessarily holding a stigma it would certainly raise comment. By 2010 it was no longer weird, and by 2015 not even worth mentioning.
