I think dating is better. My experience is that it's now more about in-depth conversation than attending events. I think this is a great step forward. It has also eliminated the really risk-adverse people which suits me fine. This assumes that you can meet people on-line. And if you struggle expressing yourself verbally, your experience might not be great. Comedy, on the other hand, is suffering, as illustrated by these jokes. Live standup is prohibited in a lot of places. I've listened to interviews with comedians that say they can't get inspired when performing virtually. Then, there are all the controversial topics that used to encourage actual dialog but now trigger rage in the snowflakes. |

This implies there is a minority which has some inconveniences with expressing themselves verbally. In (some) reality it's the opposite - nobody has a tongue of gold, fingers-on-keyboard-which-sing-serenades-like-a-pro, except selected few - so, everybody feels pretty awkward, being unable to look, smile (oh, you have that 4K monitor, that really good camera and that gigabit link? What are you doing on an online dating scene?), turn... the whole shebang of body language, not to mention pauses, conversation switches - they are possible online, just that much less workable, and that's in the area when at least in part the conversers are trying to impress each other, maybe ever so slightly.
In-depth conversation can be good for thinking, planning or learning - but can be subpar for flirting or relaxing. Wonder if those hopefuls are looking for former or latter.
