Don't fall in the online dating trap. Even chatting up lost causes at pub closing times will net you better, more fun and less frustrating results than that bullshit. I never had to resort to using something like Tinder but every single dude in my social circle tells nothing but horror stories about it, even if they got dates or hole out of it it's usually terrible. Even my zoomie brother, who is literally male model-tier (he got all the good genes in the family) told me how much he had to struggle getting girls to invite him over, we are in a ~4 mill bug hive as well.
Depends on your age and culture (it's usually no biggie in Italy even if you're 25+) but in general i'd agree. Might have changed due to the dire housing situation in virtually any city of this world.
