What culture doesn't have a way to meet up with potential partners? Unless they have some substitute like arranged marriages this doesn't bode well for the country however. I mean if people don't have kids then the species is all dead in 3 generations or so. However if they're making up for it in their 30s and 40s it's fine.

You can have people in your life that you never intentionally make an appointment to eat food together alone with. You can eventually marry those people and have children with them, having never had a "date."

In lots of Muslim countries dating is frowned upon, and that is a significant percentage of the world's population.
