Online dating is for people who have a shitload of trouble socializing or approaching someone of the opposite sex while being in a place meant for socializing [bar, club, party, etc]. It's not really for pussies. I don't need it so I haven't tried it [besides I doubt there even is something like that in Mexico], but as far as I know it's not that uncommon in the USA?

Online dating is more acceptable now than it was 14 years ago, yes.
Also, bars and clubs are great places to pick up people only interested in casual sex and riddled with STDs. I'm at a loss to point to one couple I know that endured for more than a year or two who met in a bar.
Besides fiction.
Pretty much everyone in my life is pushing me in the direction of online dating. Personal anecdotes and feedback would be welcome.
Also, apologies to Z. for not wishing him a happy birthday. Happy belated birthday!

Great character. Still prefer Holland, but Holtz is one of my faves.

It's not looking good. The corruption level is too high. When I see the police/army saying "put down your guns", all I can think of is "that's a horrible idea".

As far as online dating, gays have perfected it. We have dedicated sites for hookups, and for relationships, and we're well on the way to a specific site for every possible fetish.
As for straight people, about 60% of my female friends have done it at least once. Their experiences have been mixed, but one relationship just hit the 2 year mark and is going strong. I think that the trick is to get over the way you met. The goal is to find a person you connect with, after all. If the connection grows quickly, then it doesn't matter much how you met.
That said, after a breakup it is conventional wisdom to take some time for yourself. Get into a workout routine, maybe read some books. Be a complete person before you go looking for anybody else
Spoiler:
hookups are fine tho
