Meeting higher quality people IRL compared to online dating apps?

Has anyone experienced this?

Putting things bluntly:

I’m about a 6 myself (average to cute face, tall, broad shouldered) and have met and dated 6-8s including models, from social groups and college.

But venturing online, I generally receive likes from 4-5s.

It is a noticeable difference.

In addition, the people I meet and date from my social groups IRL are kind of pre-selected for compatibility, because we have similarities in educational background (med school) personality (empathy) or hobbies (social groups), I have time and space to know them well, their personality and have things in common. They have the time and space to know me well too.

NB I am Asian so not sure if that prejudices me online. I have still been able to date attractive women - however - with the caveat of having to have met them IRL in person first. Never online.

Has anyone noticed this phenomenon too?
