I don't think I ever met a single woman in person. Like literally a married woman asked me out at one point (though I had to figure the married part out on my own).

That's almost certainly not actually true unless you have some pretty bizarre personal circumstances. If you went to school, you've met single women in person.

But I could see how you might feel that way, given the scale/anonymity, the taboos, and pervasive atomization of modern society.

Yes, it's obviously a bit tounge-in-cheek (though if you add "attractive" it might not be). That said, I am not in school now, and it would probably be a bit impractical to go back for the dating scene for a few reasons.
That may be an anecdotal point in agreement depending on your age.
