I met my girlfriend over a dating site, but I had started actively trying to meet people a year before (friends of friends), and I realized I had lots of interaction problems to correct, as well as trying to improve myself not only to be a bit more interesting, but also my physical appearance as well.

And I disagree that other parts of the world stigmatize dating sites (it's too broad a statement). For example, Badoo (the site where I met her) is huge in Latin America and UK and Russia and other very dissimilar sites.

It also took a long time, I met about 50 girls before meeting my girlfriend.

I don't think I'm exemplary, but if I managed to get a girlfriend, most can do it.
