Is online dating pointless for almost all straight men?

Anonymous
As I see it, online dating is pointless for almost all straight men. Why?

1. Women are suspicious of single guys anyway: "Why is he single? What's wrong with him?" A guy who is so single that he needs to resort to online dating must be a loser: that's how women see it.

2. Women get far more 'approaches' online than offline. Even a below-average woman would be difficult for a guy, of whatever quality, to get online. Online, you're competing against all the usual guys, plus all the shy guys who don't approach offline.

I think the only straight man who should resort to online dating is one who looks like a supermodel (and therefore is good enough to overcome problem one and problem two) but who isn't charming (and therefore isn't successful with offline approaches).
I agree with your analysis. It is pointless.
I disagree. (Say why.)
