Just 20 years ago, online dating was a highly stigmatized social practice that accounted for a miniscule proportion of relationships. Today, it is the third most common way that couples meet. Join Dr. Kevin Lewis, a sociologist at UCSD, to discuss the social science surrounding this unprecedented historical trend. How do online dating sites work? Who uses them—and who SHOULD use them? Do couples who meet online last longer than couples who meet via more “traditional” means? And how is online dating transforming the very nature of love, intimacy and compatibility in today’s increasingly digital world?
