I don't know about quantiative work, but you'd be well served by looking at the more qualitative work of people like Sharif Mowlabocus (and others, his is just the name that comes to mind) on mobile apps like Grindr/Purpl/etc. and the role they play in hook-up culture, compared to sits like the notorious Adam4Adam, Manhunt, etc. I know Sharif presented a paper at IR10 a few years back, and there was a similar paper not that long ago at IR12 in Seattle.

Dear all,

I'm a graduate student in the Communication. Culture, and Technology MA program at Georgetown university. I am currently taking a course entitled Technology and Social Exclusion <http://courses.georgetown.edu/?courseID=CCTP-632>. For my first research paper I'm writing a paper about how the use of online dating site by LGBT communities has changed over the past decade? I have look at OKcupid trends and Pew, but the data has only been somewhat helpful. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some quantitative studies surveys that have been done on LGBT internet use in the past decade? Thanks! And looking forward to hearing back.

Cheers, Kelsey
