I think they underestimate how much of a role context plays in meeting people in the real world. You may not have an online dating style bio sheet on your t shirt, but that you and your crush are in the same place, likely doing the same thing, provides a lot of information that you might be compatible.

More than that, there is social proof, with dating sites you have to establish social proof by yourself, where as in person you're usually introduced, or know others at the event.
