Careful about where the posts come from-- Tinder et. al. have a vested interest in spreading the notion that the normal thing to do is to meet online, and so they publish surveys and press releases that reinforce that idea. Editorialists want a scoop about how the Digital Age is changing everything and the Youths Today are completely subverting existing norms.

Some people meet online, yeah, and good for them. But still, going outside and having interactions with real people is still the primary way to form relationships, and that's helpful in dating, career, hobbies, and wellbeing in general.

You don't just suck. Online dating is still hard, and everything is even harder when you don't have a solid foundation of other relationships in your life.
