Well, first you need to figure out what you really want if you haven't already. Write down what are the absolute non-compromising factors they must have.
Stuff like:
1) Must have same religious beliefs
2) Must not smoke
3) Must no already have kids with someone else
4) Must be able to tolerate snakes.
Etc etc.
Then come up with a wish list. Things you'd like to have but not 100% needed. AKA willing to compromise.
1) Would prefer someone taller than me.
2) Would prefer someone older than me.
Etc Etc
As for dating sites, personally, I think the most important thing is for 2 people to be religiously compatible. So if you are Christian find a decent Christian dating site. There's tons of them. If you are athiest I think there are sites for those as well.
Finally, just be upfront. Put up you absolutes in your profile. Nothing pleases a male more than straightforward honesty coming from women. No need to pretty it up ya know.
Dating is the path to marriage: the search for that special someone you'll spend the rest of your life with.
Be patient. DON'T SETTLE! Don't fall into the "Oh yay! I am in a committed relationship!" trap. Lots of people fall in love with the fact that they have someone instead of the actual someone they are with.
I was 28 when I got married. I had actually given up the idea altogether when just out of the blue I met Chanin online (ChristianCafe.com) and we instantly clicked.
So don't give up. And I'll reiterate: Be patient and don't settle!
