I'd agree. The big differentiator being your own personality and your own outlook / expectations of life and others.

There are plenty people around looking to have a date, and maybe more. The big caveat is meeting someone who's a match.

If you want to reel in a fish, you will inevitably have thrown out your line many times and come up empty handed.

The elephant in the room is learning how to confront your own feelings regarding rejection in a healthy way. This is true regardless of how and where you meet others.
