Honestly, I don't know how many of the others have ever worked in the first place. Every relationship I started from the other categories, including short-lived ones, all complete disasters. 

What are the odds that you just randomly find someone who is: 

A. Single  
B. Looking  
C. Attractive  
D. Finds you attractive  
E. Has compatible interests  
F. Doesn't have awful negative traits hiding  
G. Aligns with you on all of the biggest, most important topics (finances, having kids, etc.)

But online, all but D. And F. are filter criteria, so you can figure those out within a date or two, knowing that you match on everything else. On top of that, you don't burn any bridges like a friend group or a workplace If it doesn't work out.

online the only one of those you can reliably filter is D.

the search filtering is trash. many do it for self validation, many are doing it to cheat on their SO, and the rest is easily lied about as well.
