I remember being in highschool in the late 90s/early 2000s and someone found out I had an online dating profile.

I was relentlessly teased about it, borderline bullying.

I eventually met my current wife online, couldn’t be happier.

looking back, the teasing was likely because I was the only genuinely nice guy those girls knew and were upset their choices for dates were abysmal. it’s all for the best though, I wouldn’t have wanted to be around anyone who could treat me that way and be ok with it.

I’m pleased that the stigma against online dating has all but vanished.
