I think there's a lot of never-married single people because a lot of them witnessed divorce, either directly, or their friends' parents, the devastating effects of divorce.
Also, the busyness of our lives (doing what, I wonder) doesn't help. I suspect the loss of membership in the mainline churches may be a factor, and some of those megachurches with SO many people may not always make up for them (though I understand some of them have "pods" for getting to know each other better.)
To the heart of the question: I've never done computer dating, but my brother-in-law (who was in NJ) got married to a woman (who was in TX) through an online meeting.
I have never done on-line dating services either, and really didn't know that they were so popular. I also didn't realize that there were so many people approaching 40 that had not been married. However, even without on-line dating, I would think the divorce rate and witnessing it through family and friends would be the biggest factor.
I think a lot of reason why there's a lot of people who are single longer (including myself) is just the whole "been there, done that" aspect.
Computer dating? Done it, came close to marrying someone I met online (however, she was cheating on me).
I've done singles groups, but most of those have been men and/or couples.
I think there's an increasing willingness to hold onto independence and relating to people as people, without the "games" that happen when you're dating. I would like a girlfriend right now, but unfortunately, I just haven't met someone with the right spark.
Hope this helps.
