Q - Guess what percentage of people in the US that get married, met their spouse online dating now? - Jeff Frick

A - I'm going to go with 15%. - Rick
There's a guy at Stanford that's got a study, an ongoing study of how people met their spouse. How many met their spouse online? North of 50%, some would say 70%.
So when you talk about people who don't understand that people can operate on their phones, these are the same people that didn't have online dating as an option. When today that’s more than 50%. That's such an illustrative stat. Yeah, the world has changed. - Jeff Frick
