Finding people with same personality style...that's an interesting point, WI....I'm in grad school in Fine Art and have found the most satisfying interactions with fellow students in my classes, just finishing one summer class last week. These were young people! art majors! I loved being around them! Also, at one point I was conversing with a single male painting professor in the elevator about his "Catahoola" dog, and he paused outside the building to talk to me while the dog ran around chasing squirrels. I was so shaken by his desire to talk to me, I excused myself! (He's cute and my age!) I'm thinking maybe I should take a painting class!
But back to you...and meeting men....I say again, give yourself plenty of time and be discerning. 100 miles is not too far if you meet someone worthwhile!
