I like the advice I'm seeing so far. Slang's 'wheat from the chaff' theory is good, plus it gets you out and about. The online thing does in fact seem to work well for many to whom I've spoken, plus it gives you the sense that you are, in fact, making a good effort to get back in The Game.
Julie...I'm confused. Are you stoned or a gay Disco singer?
As to the answer to the question about why there aren't more good, mature men available...I'm already married. You should have looked me up when my wife and I were still poly.
