Online dating, but we met in 2016 and I heard stuff has gone downhill since.
Just under half of the people I dated seriously (eg: not a hookup) as an adult, I met online.
There was a local r4r dating subreddit I posted to in 2014, somehow my (now) wife saw it like two or three months later. I titled it "Creepy guy seeks woman way out of his league", which I am still very proud of as a great title for a personals ad.
A little over a year later we took a look back at that same subreddit and it was 100% hookups, the dating part had been completely phased out except for the subreddit name.
I actually donβt think I ever had a hookup from a website. Seems a little weird to just go and have sex with someone from an online posts.
