We present data from a nationally representative 2017 survey of American adults. For heterosexual couples in the United States, meeting online has become the most popular way couples meet, eclipsing meeting through friends for the first time around 2013. Moreover, among the couples who meet online, the proportion who have met through the mediation of third persons has declined over time. We find that Internet meeting is displacing the roles that family and friends once played in bringing couples together.
我们呈现的数据来自于 2017 年一项具有全国代表性的美国成年人调查。对于美国的异性恋夫妇来说,在线上结识已经成为最流行的结识方式,这一趋势在 2013 年左右首次超过了通过朋友介绍。此外,在通过网络结识的夫妇中,通过中间人介绍相识的比例也随着时间的推移而下降。我们发现,互联网约会正在取代家庭和朋友在将情侣聚到一起方面曾经扮演的角色。
