SMU Assistant Professor of Sociology Bussarawan Puk Teerawichitchainan said that the rise in online dating is not surprising, considering how much time people spend on social networking sites. "Technology is replacing the role of the older generation, who traditionally picked out partners for the younger generation." Online dating's stigma - that those who use dating websites are desperate and can't find partners in real life - is disappearing as more engage online, she says.
