I'm only in my early 30's but I DO know what you mean. Before I met my husband, I swore I'd never meet a man who was right for me. People always said my standards were too high. (EXCUSE me for knowing what would make me happy! And I DID find a man who met ALL those standards) I met hubby online. He has everyting emotionally I was looking for, but nothing physically, but he's absolutely perfect for me.

What online dating taught me was this: Don't discount somebody because he's "not my type". If I met hubby on the street, I would have kept walking by and missed the best thing that ever happend to me. I'm telling you, he's far from the image of the man I'd figure I'd spend my life with... big Santa Claus Belly, crooked teeth (I have a thing about perfect teeth ), etc. But since I knew him first through his emails to me, I got to know his heart first and gave him a chance. Best chance I ever gave somebody!

Now, I'm not saying everyone has the same success from online dating as I did... I know its VERY scary with the weirdoes out there. I was VERY lucky to have met him almost right away (he was the third guy I met from online) But you can apply the lesson in life. You might not have ever noticed the shy guy in the cubicle on the second floor of your office, but maybe if you open your eyes a little differently you can see something in somebody you'd never have looked at before. And sometimes stepping out of your normal box is what it takes to find the right guy with the right fit for you.
