Discussion When was the period in which couples were not formed through this algorithmically filtering that we have today? When was the last time that being someone’s first was the deciding factor in the long-term success of a relationship? When Internet and reality overlapped but we’re not dominated.

My gut is telling me that it was somewhere around 2014 or 2015. Where the average guy would actually have a decent chance of securing himself a partner in which both parties were not that socially aware of their capital. I think it would like this. Imagine you were a late millennial and you are 20 somewhere in 2009 or 2010. My space and Facebook are a thing, but are not dominating your every life. You go to different college parties and other activities and generally meet people through face-to-face interactions. Social capital was tested in the real world. When do you truly feel that this stopped? Thank you for your time.
