I think that the popularity of online dating has grown really for two reasons.
One is just the passage of time. It's been out there, people has a chance to adapt to it and to learn how to use it in the way that works for them. So first reason. The second reason really is that it does provide an efficient way to triage potential mates, and a way that is easier than doing it face to face.
It may not be as powerful but it is definitely more efficient. So to say that it is not going to be there, it's going to go away, it's going to fall through the cracks, I don't think that's possible because we're using the online dating as, in a way, that fits us best. And so what I think you're going to continue to see is the continuous adoption but aslo evolution in the way people use it, the refinement in how they're using it because those people who use it effectively will continue to use it again and those people who feel that it is not effective, they're not going to use it in the way that adapts for them, they are not going to use that again. So I don't see it going away, I see it becoming more refined.
