- Dating in the US has been around for 100 years and it’s always been tied to the economy.Watch our video on how the heart became ♥ http://bit.ly/2sQji2KSubscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjOIt may seem like the way we date is dictated by things like love and affection but it’s actually driven by something far less romantic: the economy. Dating as we know it didn’t really start until the Industrial Revolution when young people left farms and small towns to flock to cities for work. They got jobs in factories, bars, and restaurants and being away from their families for the first time offered them the freedom to mix and match with other young people. Ever since then the way single people have gotten together has been dictated by the ups and downs of the economy in the United States. We talk to Harvard’s Moira Weigel, author of “The Labor of Love: The Invention of Dating” about how our woes about dating are nothing new, they’ve been around since people starting pairing off.Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.

Ever wonder how this symbol ♥ came to symbolize a heart? We made a video about it. http://bit.ly/2sQji2K
Should have uploaded this on Valentine's day
"Land holdings in the south of France" hahahahahahahah
I'm cracking up with Tian!!!
The author is clearly enjoying her work to the fullest extent.
"Sounds super hot".
I just met someone on an app a few weeks ago and we hung out for the first time yesterday.
He's broke, I'm broke. He's completely himself and so am I, and we really like each other.
That freaking never happens.
That’s fine VOX, but how about a video explaining how the Reptilian Shapeshifters shape our economy to begin with, thus shaping our love life and initiating some form of selective breeding. Idk what I’m talking about. Keep asking questions
I feel like this should have been a Valentine's Day video. Good video tho.
Lmao Tian's clip at the end tho 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
5:26 Don't miss best part
I was expecting a video talking about how the economy shapes our love lives but it was more about technological innovation.
Apps like Grinder & Tinder should be categorized as hook-up apps not dating apps.😆😆😆
It's cute that they think I have a love life.
wish me luck! i got a date tomorrow... it's with 23 February 2018
She graduated with lil pump? Damm I didn’t know that.
And on the flipside, we've got otakus and incels on reddit. Technology is amazing. :)
I've always thought the name grindr was inspired by tinder but as it turns out the gays set the trends! 🏳️🌈
Dating definitely sucks 🤦🏻♀️I love these videos, they're always so well done!
It doesnt "seem like the worst time to be alive & single". It seems like the best time so far. People are connecting & staying connected, in ways our ancestors were unfortunately deprived of. You should be grateful
