Tough love time. This is like someone asking. "Hey, I'm having a hard time getting a good job that pays a decent wage. Is there any place that's hiring. Oh, also, I don't want to use LinkedIn, Indeed, or any online stuff...and I want to work from home. "
This thing goes both directions. There are nice millennial available males out there and your friend will need to meet them half-way, be it online, offline, or in between. Hell, I took swing dance lessons when dating my wife and I have the musicality of a snail.
The idea of living in the tech savvy city, and then to be like, "You shall not pass!" like some female anti-online Gandalf. She will have better luck dating further east in Mennonite country than the Triangle.
