Feeling frustrated with online dating? Facing profile-fatigue? Here’s a nice reminder that, in many ways, we’ve never had it so good.

Case in point: this video-dating montage from Video Mate, which aired in the 1980′s. Just in case you needed a dose of thankfulness for just how far digital dating has come! (And that mullets are no longer in style.)

And you thought online dating was awkward.
