    Friends, friends of friends, hobbies, and jobs, mostly.

      Honestly think that people working more and being more stressed, causing other social relationships to collapse (fewer friendships, less time for hobbies and leisure) are more to blame than the rise tinder.

        Don't forget about the collapse of religion, especially the "weekly church goer" type of congregant. It's a fuck but religion used to basically serve as a two hour weekly socially-mandatory social club.

          Well if the divorce rate of boomers is anything to go by, what they did to meet was not such a good idea either

        I don’t think it has to be causal for the tinder stuff to be relevant and insightful. The increased commodification and encroachment of markets into all aspects of life seems very related to both the modern (global north) working conditions and rise in app-mediated approaches to dating and relationship building.

        I would assume all of these things are paving the way for others to develop more fully

        I'm not sure if it's less time for leisure, or the way that leisure is increasingly something people do alone. (e.g. the dozens and dozens of TV shows that people somehow keep up with)
