Online dating apps have been accused of fueling hook-up culture and killing romance but they may not be so bad after all. The rise of internet dating could be behind stronger marriages, an increase in interracial partnerships, and more connections between people different social circles, according to a new study by economics professors Josue Ortega at the University of Essex and Philipp Hergovich at the University of Vienna in Austria. Today, more than one-third of marriages begin online. Online dating is the second most popular way to meet partners for heterosexual couples and the most popular form of dating for homosexual partners. Sites like OKCupid and eHarmony to location-based Grindr, are changing the way society functions. The apps have exploded in popularity since the first iPhone in 2007.
