Online is a stacked deck, though I'd agree it can still widen an IRL pool. Met my SO through an online site. Though it still took years and I was using 4 sites at a time, occasionally paid ones too.

IME as a bisexual on dating sites, women typically have more game, or at least know how to flaunt it better. Back in the day I certainly reached out to many more women than men… though in retrospect, that’s also because women are less intimidating; it was easier to break the ice with them.

It could also be that women aren't expected to disclose their waist, hip, or bust size; yet men are often expected to disclose their height and fitness.
