So, I will put everything out there and I hope not to be judged too fast or too hard:
I am female, single, 53, entrepreneur, foreign, speak 5 languages, including French,
traveled and lived in few countries. I now live in Los Angeles and for all the time (7 years) I have been here I have not been in any romantic 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?
you picked the wrong town. Men in their 40s/50s are looking for the younger. the better, late teens, early-mid 20s. That's all I saw out there; ridiculous men old enough to be some woman's father or grandpa.

Try online dating. There are lots of dating sites that are for a particular age group. In match or eharmony people might not get much visibility, eventhough they have age filters. Men are everywhere but you might not be running into them at the right place or right time. If young guys are approaching you then you must be hot!!! And the men in your age group might think you would reject them.
With online dating people are not caught offguard in a situation where they have to approach someone immediately or else they loose their chance. They can take their time & introduce themselves over the phone or emails & then make a date. You can connect with people in neighboring towns too with online dating. No matter what people say about online dating, I think it gives people more options especially for the ones who are shy or dont go out a lot. For that reason alone, give it a shot. Just make sure they are within driving distance so that you can make a date asap & see them soon to decide if you want to pursue it. Long distance rarely works so look for someone close to your city. We use technology in everything so why not use it in expanding your prospects too? Go for it. All the best.

I bet those women wish they had never invented Viagra.

There are plenty of men your age around. Unfortunately, most of them want to date the 20-somethings you consider (rightly) too young for you.
I am 35. Nobody my age or slightly older looks at me. Only guys 10 years younger or 30 years older.
Maybe the guys age 35-55 are all off the market, too busy to get divorced or into young chicks.
Please see my earlier post in this thread about online dating. I think men got a bad reputation for dating younger women but honestly, how many of these relationships have you seen last forever?? Its not all about looks for men. If that was true then no super model or actress would ever get dumped or divorced, but they do, more frequently than an average looking person. 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.
Thank you Asma410! That is a good idea. I will try the sites you mentioned. I have never done online dating..
Sure. No problem. Type this in google: 'Dating for 50+' & you will see a list of sites. I think they have free registration & you dont even have to pay if you want the guy to initiate the contact. They will deliver the messages in your inbox for free. Also, they have lots of feautures like background check certified to make sure they have been checked out. Ofcourse you will find some jerks, just like you would in real life but dont give up. Learn from it & move on quickly.
