I can't speak for Net dating success...haven't been at it long enough. But as for dating younger men, I've dated younger men from the time I passed that 30-year milestone. I simply find that my interests do not jibe with the interests of men my age. I'm still writing, still involved in the music and movie scene big time, and I don't want to talk about mortgages, divorce settlements, barbecue grills...the usual fare--you were so right about that! Right now, my writing keeps me so busy I can't get out and really socialize as much as I'd like, so I'm reaching out online. And I was thrilled to find this site! Here's hoping...for both of us!
