The Death of Online Dating Stigma

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:08:57 GMT

For a long time after its inception as an industry, the idea of online dating was stigmatised. Though those who engaged in the pursuit knew otherwise, public perception was that it was a silly approach which unnecessarily rocked traditions.
