For example when I was in highschool, it was really uncommon to date someone from another school. You'd have to have some overlapping extracurricular in common. Maybe a job or a church etc. To be top in 1000 person school you'd have to be 1:1000 person.

Now it's perfectly normal for flirtation to happen city-wide via social media. That means the competition for top choices is now city wide. To be top in a 100k teenager city you;d have to be 1:100000, being 1:1000 could simply mean you're viewed as "average" because highlight reel nature of social media means the average people are essentially invisible.
