No! It means that those who do online dating are less trusting due to all the scams at online dating sites who use bots and deception to manipulate the members into becoming paid members! Match.com, one of the largest sites is the biggest offender and scammer! Therefore less people are paying.

I think less people are marrying because a decrease in respect to the institution in it's self. Why marry when you can just live together these days. I still believe in doing God's way, It always works better in my oppinion.
I agree with you totally - do it God's way..
