I do not believe that an online peer group is a substitute for an in-person peer group.

From online dating first meets to Reddit meet-ups, I cannot think of a single time that online socialization came close to real socialization, and I love the Internet. I met my partner online.

However great online socialization is, it's very one-dimensional compared to personal human interaction.
