I hate OLD personally. But I'm short (so I'm automatically filtered out by most women) and a man (which is bad for OLD).
I'm also fairly extroverted and make friends easily. I have no trouble asking women out IRL and I have a good job that conveys relative status. Strangely, none of these things matter online. They do matter IRL though.
Once you meet someone, whether it's via a dating site, or a grocery store, the method is the same. No one dates "online". You date in person. Phones calls, texts...etc., for communications. Everything is the same, no matter how you meet. I don't see the difference.
Negative. Netflix and chill is not traditional dating
Well, if Jane Austen and her ilk are to be believed, it's going to a ball with a chaperone and a bunch of your sisters and dancing with a wealthy landowner from a neighboring village. If you're lucky, a few days later he'll stop by while you're working on your needlepoint and ask to you go for a walk into town accompanied by a chaperone and a bunch of your sisters.
Nope not being sarcastic, I tried the other routes but turned up empty handed so I had to do something. After my second ex I was going to hire a match making service but it was incredibly expensive.
I had the chance to date one woman near the end of my senior year but I was going off to college, I still wonder where I would be in life now had I gone out with her.

Another one I met at a bar, but nothing came of it until we ran into each other a year later at a local mall. My ex-husband I met when I was a summer student at his workplace, and my husband and I met through mutual friends. A few guys I briefly dated in between were all met in person as well.
I can't even fathom doing OLD. After my ex-husband and I split up, the thought did cross my mind that it was a whole new dating world than the last time I'd been single 13 years prior. And yet it wasn't that different when meeting peers my age, who still knew how to date "old school". I'm glad I never got to a point where I had to consider OLD an option because I don't think I could have done it.
If traditional dating means 2 people go out for drinks or eat out or do some activity together to know each other better. Then I did all that when I was online dating.
I specifically used online dating to set up meets. I prefer to meet them right away because face to face interaction is the ONLY way for me to see if we would click.
You mean more casual dating vs committed dating? Def. We are now currently living an ADD dating world. Hopefully this will change but chances are slim. If you haven't read Brave New World, you should check it out. It was written 75 years ago but based in the future. Mr. Huxley was writing about us.
Um no. Baby Boomers thought the same thing. So did Gen X. Your generation has no lock on hookup culture.
Economic insecurity and modern communications technology.
