The saying "There's plenty of fish in the sea" - how true is it?

I remember watching a sitcom a while ago where one of the male-mains went to a dating service. He was about to say "Nawh, I'll take my chances in the sea", and she said "That's what they'd like you to think, but in reality..." and then she goes to factor gender you don't want, age you don't want, appearance you don't want, race you don't want, countries you'll never visit, etc, and jokingly she said "Yeah, there's 2 fish in the sea for you. Good luck finding them!"

I was just wondering, and I know/hope the 2 was/is an understatement, but how true is she?
You misunderstand - I'm not asking about the use of Dating sites. Nor am I asking for my own benefit. I just found the statement funny and was wondering of any truth.
 
i think there are plenty of people ouot there who one could potentially have a relationship with.. however, most of the time it won't feel like there are plenty of fish out there as people are often reluctant to experience life and see how big the ocean is because they're scared of being hurt and taking risks
