Where is the best place in the country for a guy in his 50s to find a date?

There are lots of women who don't go to singles bars, too, you know. Those guys should get involved in local charities, attend charity dinners, serve on boards, etc. That's how they'll meet women.

That is red flag if you are working so much you cannot date

The New, Interactive Singles Map.

This is what i was thinking too.

He should try to date women in their mid 30's and up.

I don't think that successful attorneys or advertising-executives are particularly shy. Rather, they devote their mental energies and emotional capital to their jobs. They aren't enthused about taking on a second job, as it were, in the endeavor to date, to search for prospects, to approach and to court them.

Perhaps paradoxically, men less invested in their careers can afford a breezy going-about, to casually search with no concerted aim, instead being open to possibilities as they arise naturally. The career-driven men, the Type-A's who delegate tasks and expect their subordinates to dutifully make reports, who make corporate decisions and who leave details to their admin staff and so forth, have difficulty mentally positioning themselves into a stance conducive to dating. Once a problem is reduced to step-by-step actualization, it's no longer a meaty problem, a worthy problem. It can be outsourced. But how does one outsource the task of approaching women, making introductions, assessing potential for compatibility and so forth?
