I strongly doubt that a non-negligible number of OLD users restrict themselves to using only OLD and automatically reject in-person advances.

What are [A] and [B] in this situation? > I strongly doubt that a non-negligible number of OLD users restrict themselves to using only OLD and automatically reject in-person advances. OP's "options" are still the same as before: all the singles in his physical meatspace. You're assuming that a non-trivial number of people who use OLD aren't exclusive to OLD. Who's taking issue with that? OTOH, saying that one's set of available dates is unchanged by foregoing OLD is deeply flawed. You even mention "physical meatspace" which OLD directly overcomes.
