Quantity over quality?

I wonder if the opportunity/successful connection ratio has actually improved with the advent of online dating? Maybe it could be assumed that the quantity of connections has automatically increased due to sheer volume increase but I wonder how quality those increased numbers might actually be? It's a very different science of representation of one's self in the online medium. Not only that, but I wonder how truthful and accurate it even is based on the style of presentation and it's propensity for both anonymity and its natural obfuscation through translation of reality to digital representation. It would be nice to basically ignore all of this... however, I certainly feel somewhat disadvantaged in my attempts to reconcile the online and real me in a truthful, realistic, and attractively marketable way. Maybe I just overthink the whole thing. Ha.
