Wonka,
Be prepared for the time commitment online dating takes. By the time you read profiles, respond/write emails, and do a search or two, it's a part-time job!

As far as age goes, that's an interesting thing. I'm 51 and men who are 45-50 RARELY respond even though I have recent shots; one of which is a full body shot. The last guy I dated online called me "youthful" and asked for my secret, so I don't think I look older than my age. Men 55 to 70 respond enthusiastically and frequently. 55 is my upper range, but I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to someone older who could keep up with my energy and whom I found attractive.

I'm taking a break now from online; we'll see how the car guy goes. I think online dating is emotionally exhausting. People come and go so quickly without a second thought. In my opinion, manners go right out the window and rudeness prevails, but that's just my opinion.
