If guy A meets someone irl and has a 5 year relationship and guy B has 9 hinge dates in that time that last a week then 90% of partners in this set are met via online dating, but you’d probably rather be guy A than guy B.
In the scenario I described above 50% of current partners would be from dating apps and I’d still rather be guy A. Guess we’d need to see the actual infographic and who produced it to really say anything definitive.
Yeah I remember seeing an infographic that basically said that 50% of partners are met through online dating today.
That leaves plenty of room for OP to find a partner in different areas of life
I agree, it does- but the idea of “Most people don’t use dating apps” just doesn’t track with what I have read, or seen anecdotally.
Seriously. Physical third places have been dying for years. Of course people are going to meet their partners primarily online.

oh, yeah, but i think the infographic meant “where did you meet your current partner?”
that invalidates your argument, then.
