> I met my spouse online and a lot of my generation did. I too met a lot of friends online first.

At what age though? Were you 18+ or younger?

Fwiw and as requested :)

Re friends - In late 90s and early 2000s I was in my late teens and early 20s. I was on the interwebs since age 15 or 16 in ~1995

Re spouse, age 27 in 2006 on Lavalife. There were a lot of creeps on dating sites then, but not nearly as many professional scammers as today.

I met some people through game modding forums and mailing lists at 17. I think I started participating when I was 15.
