Whether you do better online or meeting gals in person all depends upon your particular strengths and weakenesses.
Internet dating puts much, much, much more importance on demographics and statistics: age, income, occupation, etc. If you have a good resume' for someone your age and a decent pic, and you mainly date women who are close to your age, you'll probably do better online. Based on personal experience, I'd say looks are a bit more important online, where it's not as easy to compensate with charisma and style. Writing skills can compensate, but can only take you so far. If you don't meet her criteria or she's not that knockout attracted to your pic, you're SOL online. period. That's why reverse matching works better, and it's best not to write long emails. The ones to write are the ones who don't contact guys, but would write you if they did.
What annoys me about this thread, quite frankly, is that here's a young fellow with a good enough pic that a fair percentage of women tell him he's "****ING GORGEOUS" telling everyone else how "easy" internet dating is. It's like a marathon runner saying how running a 10K in 35 minutes is nothing.
The "AFC/DJ" bullsh1t is way overrated. You can be DJ to the core, but you're not going to "successfully sarge" any online prospects if you're not in their age or income range; whereas you might be able to knock 'em out with your charisma in person, so they'll be rationalizing away the other stuff to be with you.
