The craziest statistic in the book, the craziest one that blows my mind the most is in 1967, there was a study they did where they found 76% of women said they would marry someone that they are not romantically in love with.

Stephen Dubner Freakonomics Radio · Aug 2016 Why people recommend it
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari and Eric Klinenberg is a nonfiction investigation into how technology and cultural shifts have radically transformed modern dating and courtship. On The Book Review, Alexandra Alter announced the book's release, while Stephen Dubner featured it extensively across multiple episodes of Freakonomics Radio. Dubner introduced Ansari alongside his co-author, NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg, noting that the title debuted near the top of the bestseller list. During their discussions, Dubner highlighted striking statistics from the research, such as a 1967 survey showing that seventy-six percent of women would marry someone they were not romantically in love with, and explored the book's framing of the paradox of choice in dating apps. Ansari explained that his stand-up comedy material and conversations with academics inspired him to investigate why contemporary dating feels so frustrating. Dubner connected these findings to broader questions about internet habits and modern human behavior, probing how digital connectivity reshapes expectations of romance and long-term commitment.
