I just laugh at the idea that some people seem to have that there are so many more women than men out there getting lucky. Who do they think they're getting lucky with?
Actually, the PUA myth (and that is what you're hearing) is that a few guys get all the women -- by cheating on them. So 3 women think they have monogamous relationships with the same guy.
And all women are always stupid enough to fall for this; the only variable is whether the guy is b*llsy/azzhattish enough to make it happen.
But maybe you knew all that .

I wonder how they think that small handful of guys finds time to go on all of the dates they'd have to go on in order for the math of that delusion to work. Maybe they don't have jobs or require sleep. I can't even make time for all of my own potential dates when I do online dating as a schlubby average-looking average-income middle aged dude. It must be damned near impossible for those studmuffins.
In my experience, online dating sites allow for dating efficiency. You can ask out as many people as you want one after the other all from the comfort of your own home. You can get number at a far more efficient clip and you can date women from all angles of the city you live in. For me, online dating gave me an incredible amount of options from every background. Whatever type of girl I was in the mood for during a given time, I could create a template message and and the same exact message to each of them and just relax and wait for biters. From the biters I can select the ones I was really interested in and decide what type of relationship I wanted from there on out.
After a while, online dating turned into a game of conquests.
It depends on what you want though. I never used online dating for serious relationships, so you would likely have to modify your approach.
online dating leaves you spoiled for choice but its often an empty feeling , ive only had feelings for one girl ive ever been on an online date with and she has friendzoned me due to not being over a previous relationship , Ive been on two dates since this girl condemned me to a platonic relationship and while they were nice ladies , I don't really have any romantic interest in them , despite this ive agreed to see one of them again
too many choices might be a good thing when buying ice cream but im not sure when it comes to looking for a mate

That's why it really depends on what you use it for. I never had any intention of finind a long lasting relationship online. For me, it was an extremely efficient way to find friends with benefits or random one nighters when I was in college up until a year ago. I met my current girl offline.
Eh, online dating is difficult... and you're going to have to meet a lot of people and go on a LOT of really really horrible first dates and face A LOT of rejection, but it might be worth it in the long run.
I did online dating for 4ish years before meeting my current guy and I have sooo many stories (as does he) but I'd say it was well worth it.
I agree - lots of first dates, but eventually the ones not worth pursuing weed themselves out. It also depends on the dating site. Pictures may not be accurate; if I were to judge just on a picture, I would not have met my husband of almost seven years.

I found it to be good for all kinds of relationships. I met friends, one-nighters, long-term activity/hookup partners (I guess this would be called FWB, though I hate that term), and long-term serious girlfriends, all through dating sites.
Funny, though, I never did dating sites in college because there were so many other ways to meet and hookup with women there. (I was at a large state school.) It wasn't until I moved to a new location where I didn't know anyone as a working professional that I started using dating sites for all of the above.
