I keep meeting more and more people my age (mid 20's) as well as more and more of my friends are meeting people online.
I don't understand why nobody wants to socialize and meet each other in person anymore? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but I think we're at the age where we have more time to socialize so what's the deal?

I don't know about young people except that they grew up with the internet, so it's natural for them. I have found that it doesn't work so well for old ladies my age though--men see our age and click over to the under 30 section. Either that or I'm not as well preserved as I thought.
This isn't totally new it's been happening throughout the past 15 years. People don't interact the same way in real life anymore due to technology, the internet, and all these gadgets that are out. People don't meet at the grocery store anymore like they did back in the 70's. There are a lot of articles about this stuff if you google it. I know as a guy a lot of women aren't really receptive to talking to a guy they don't know in real life....even a guy like me that is average height and slender build. I don't think decades ago it was like that..at least not quite as much.
I'm a very outgoing guy and everything and I meet a lot of people, but the internet really makes things useful. You can filter through people much easier and everything. Then again, I have never registered for a dating website, but I have met girls online through websites not made for dating.
Also, just because someone is registered for an online dating site, does not mean they aren't out at the bar socializing and being with people. Just because someone is on it doesn't mean they are a basement dweller who refreshes the page all day and looks at the women, they might create the page and never look again unless they get an email or however else they're notified.
That's just an explanation from a younger guy who's never registered for an online dating site, take it for what its worth

that's a shame. I'm very receptive as long as the guy is nice enough. If I'm not attracted to him in the least, I just won't go on a date with him. Simple.

oh, I know they likely do things too, but it just seems that cause of online dating, nobody wants to socialize as much.
