RATIO of Undesirables+Weirdos YOU encounter online TO Undesirabls+Wierdos met REALIFE

For me, it's about 4 to 1, meaning I am 4 times as likely to encounter an "undesirable" online, this could be facebook, twitter, YouTube than on the street. In both cases, statement of the obvious, I don't go out in search of these creatures. What are your own experiences?

Most people I meet IRL are sound.
Online there are a lot more weirdos but perhaps it's because people let go more?

Most weirdos I encountered online was on POF TBH.

Houseshares can be a breeding ground for them too.

Online you come across a lot of normal people acting like weirdos. In real life it's the opposite.
