Interesting. The only real change I see here is that people are less likely to be introduced by their friends these days, and slightly less likely to meet "in a bar or restaurant"(which I would classify as day/night game). The category "in a bar or restaurant" also looks like it is on the rise after a dip, possibly the pua effect? Its also surprising to see how many people actually meet from a cold encounter "in a bar or restaurant", after having no previous connection;

Thanks for posting, interesting. As you can see, the only channels rising in popularity are online and bars, both of which strongly facilitate hypergamy. And once girls get hooked on dat dere alpha dick, it'll be hard to wean them off when it comes to marrying time. It's all a recipe for some combo of a decline in marriage rates, and a rise in marital dissatisfaction and divorce rates.

Other traditional channels, like school, work, family and church have far fewer roving suitors with which to feed woman's hypergamic impulses.

I see no reason why women's desire for committed monogamous relationships will increase - commitment means loss of freedom and independence, and modern American women show no inclination towards abandoning their sovereignty.
