Do: --search beyond and outside of the boilerplate Meet and Beat the Meat sites. A lot of nonsense in there not just for gay men but men in general. They outnumber females better than 75 to 1, and that's a conservative estimate.. As noted above the "pool" shrinks for older gay men looking even more. What you could end up with is a site that has "free membership" but you have to pony up to contact or reply to anyone who reaches out, and the odds are that the "person" reaching out to you is a shill. Pay up, respond... listen to crickets.
Not that this is always a bad idea, just have it as a back burner "hope for the best, expect an empty stocking on Christmas morning" approach.
Do: (Post Covid is implied) --find and attend munches or even clubs and bars, especially those with a larger gay clientele, see and be seen. if you're in a small town like "Goat's Crotch, Arizona" you'll have to expand your range a bit to somewhere with a poplulation of humans.
Don't: --jump out of the box on the kink topic. If and when you find what might be a connection, get to know the dude first. See what he is into. Could be of course you might find a vanilla gay guy but you never know until you try, but opening with "I like it rough." can turn people off who want to be more than a roll in the sheets. Especially beyond a certain age, "keepers" with feelings and connections outside Le Boudoir get more results. The physically oriented "Meet my Meat" is found among the early-mid 20s set, sometimes referred to as "Twinks".
I know and work with a number of gay guys. It's a tough prospect the older you get, with many of them saying in one form or another, that for gay men, age 30 is the doorstep to the elephant graveyard.
As with a lot of social and intimate interaction, it's still very much a youth-oriented thing.
But
Don't: -lose heart. It may be tougher for the middle age set it is not impossible. Just approach it wisely, keep your expectations reasonable and one day you may very well be pleasantly surprised. Most likely when you're not expecting it.
And as I write often:
Let the flow go its way. It's No Good if You Gotta Force It.
That's my usual schpiel regarding any and all relationships, preferences and so-on. I should het a tee shirt with that printed on it.

Only one crappy penny for my thoughts. I personally have no experience in your area. I just go by what I see and hear.
