I suppose I would say that if you're going to a bar with that intent, there's generally a degree of mental preparation and psyching yourself up that isn't necessarily there in a dating app. There's also a possibility of going with friends who can provide encouragement and emotional support and validation. I'm not necessarily trying to argue that one approach is better or worse, though, it's not something that I've figured out.
