I don't think so at all.
The thing about meeting IRL is that you get a ton of context just by how you meet. Where did you meet? How were they dressed? Were they with friends; what are their friends like?
And sure, there's a difference between online and IRL. But a big part of that is driven by the inherent structure of online dating. Without any sort of filters, there's nothing to stop extreme "r" style daters from drowning everyone else out.
