- Dating in the US has been around for 100 years and it’s always been tied to the economy.

It may seem like the way we date is dictated by things like love and affection but it’s actually driven by something far less romantic: the economy.
Dating as we know it didn’t really start until the Industrial Revolution when young people left farms and small towns to flock to cities for work. They got jobs in factories, bars, and restaurants and being away from their families for the first time offered them the freedom to mix and match with other young people.
Ever since then the way single people have gotten together has been dictated by the ups and downs of the economy in the United States. We talk to Harvard’s Moira Weigel, author of “The Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating” about how our woes about dating are nothing new, they’ve been around since people starting pairing off.

(Jun 1, 2018)I'm sorry Dean. This is a great video, but what you say and and what the graph shows at 1:55 contradict each other. It was kinda upsetting enough that I couldn't focus on the rest of the video.

(19 minutes ago)The alternative is being single in perpetuity or with someone you dislike. Dating is work. It’s like saving into a stock market. It’s risky but necessary.

(Feb 22, 2018)That’s fine VOX, but how about a video explaining how the Reptilian Shapeshifters shape our economy to begin with, thus shaping our love life and initiating some form of selective breeding. Idk what I’m talking about. Keep asking questions
