I'd be very curious to know the numbers over the past two years as in 2017 bars/restaurants were at 27%, school/college at 9%, and work at 11%.

  17% of people under 30 have been in a committed relationship with someone they met online, ever (gets lower with age too) https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/02/06/the-virtues-and-downsides-of-online-dating/ https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2020/02/06/the-virtues-... of those with a partner, 21% said they met them online (gets lower with age too) https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/nearly-half-of-u-s-adults-say-dating-has-gotten-harder-for-most-people-in-the-last-10-years/ https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/nearly-... And note that this says "online dating" not specifically tinder. Statistics show that 80% of women sleep with 20% of men on Tinder. Tinder is a place women go when they are interested in having sex with men based on nothing other than their looks. That is fine, if you are in the top 20%, if you aren't, it is a real fools errand.
