I think there's a lot of truth to that, though I also note that we've had some very good experiences over the past year or two of the, "hello X! Y is moving to your area soon and you are awesome and would like each other" variety, as both X and Y. :-)
One thing I do really like about DW/LJ is that there is more of an expectation that sometimes people will click in the comments of friends, and suggest adding each other. I have also had the same thing happen on Facebook, though being a female-presenting rather than male-presenting genderqueer person, I'm very willing to believe this is easier for me. (I also note that it's mostly happened with women and genderqueer people, though with the latter varying in presentation.)
