DescriptionHow heterosexual couples have met, data from 2009 and 2017.png
English: Source: How Couples Meet and Stay Together Surveys, 2009 and 2017 waves. Consistent with Rosenfeld and
Thomas (2012), all trends are from unweighted Lowess regression with bandwidth 0.8 (Cleveland 1979), except for
meeting online, which is a 5 year moving average because meeting online takes place in the more recent and data‐
rich part of the data. N=2,473 for HCMST 2009 and N=2,997 for HCMST 2017. Friends, family, and co‐workers can
belong to either respondent or partner. Percentages do not add to 100% because the categories are not mutually
exclusive; more than one category can apply.
