Your opinion seems to be stuck in the 1980s.

The old fashion way of going to the bar

You mean meeting the exact same people you'd meet online, except without the ability to filter out the obvious bad matches before buying them a drink?

or hell even lingering like a bad fart in the produce section at the grocery store

AKA "being really creepy and awkward". I really don't see how this is supposed to be better than online dating.

Online dating is a sure fire way to get ripped off

Only if you pay for it. Nobody pays for online dating anymore.
