Pim Tool likes to rant about online dating, but the reality is that there are dudes that can only date this way.

The thing that concerns me though is that eventually more people are going to identify as "awkward" and will refuse to go on dates with anyone they meed IRL and feel like everyone should only contact them online. We already see this with irrational fears of talking on the phone where millennials and zoomers insist on communicating exclusively through texts.
