I would reccommend meetup for you. There are tons of groups in LA and it seems less desperate as a dating site where you can find alot of creeps.

So you post something irrelevant like speaking 5 languages yet forget to post about the important details like how you look?

Yes, what do you look like? No man you'd want to date cares.that you are an entrepreneur who speaks multiple languages. What do you look like, and what do you have to offer a stable 50 year olf man who would be.open to a relationship?

I don't understand how L.A. works really.
I am approached by younger guys, some in their mid-20's. but I am not interested, they are just too young for me. What happened to the guys in their 40's/50's who are comfortable and confident with who/what they are..?
What I'd like to know is: where are the men in this town? Seriously.
Am I in the wrong town?
What do you think?
First of all you're in Tinseltown; looks are everything there.
So as cool as you sound, you are in possibly the most superficial, shallow town on the planet.
I know many men that would be interested in you, almost regardless of looks.
But I'm betting you're not bad looking, so....
what's keeping you in a town that has your love life at a standstill??

Believe007: I am asking myself this same question lately.
Nothing holds me here.
I originally came here to be in the fashion industry but it's no longer a must.
But I would go where? I don't want to turn into a gypsy, which I have been most of my life.
I want to settle some place I can call home..

As someone who is also looking for a 'place to call home' I can relate. As for your love life though there are plenty of men in other places that would be competing for your attention & time.
L.A. is the last place on Earth I'd wanna be if I was wanting a love life. It wouldn't hurt to come up w/ your top 5 places you can see yourself relocating too....then checking those places out.

No offense, but that doesn't mean much. The worst indicator of your attractiveness is from your female friends because they will always say you look beautiful even if you look like an ogre. Try using hotornot.com or OKCupid best face feature to see where you rate. Trust me, you don't want to rely on your female friends opinions on this.

Men do admire strong, independent women who are in their own age group & have been through similar challenges, breakups, raising kids & its this understanding between couples that makes them fall in love & stay together, not just looks. They are not all Hugh Hefners.
True dat.

I got divorced in my early forties and began online dating shortly thereafter. Within about 9 months, I met my future husband, who was 47 at the time. He was so serious about dating women his own age, that he was actually a little put off that I was five WHOLE YEARS younger than him!

Great guy. Great dad. Good looking, funny as hell and has a good job and everything!

We got married ten months later! Seven years and going strong. He's the love of my life.
