I once conducted in-person interviews with folks who met their husband or wife offline. I asked, “If you had seen your current spouse online, would you have swiped right or left?” Many people told me they wouldn’t have seen their future partner at all because their app settings would’ve shut them out. “My age limit was up to one year older than me, and she’s five years older than me,” one guy told me. “My app setting was for Jewish men only, and he identifies as Buddhist,” another said.
