Two pretty 21 year old latinas visiting LA who’s willing to spend on us

35M here. I’m trying to get out more and meet women in their 30s and 40s in person instead of relying on dating apps.
For people who date in LA, what bars, lounges, events, neighborhoods, or other spots have a good crowd in that age range?
I’m open to something casual/hooking up, but also open to dating or something more if the connection is there. Mainly looking for places where people actually mingle and it’s normal to approach and start a conversation.
What places have you had the best experience with around LA?

I’ve been happily single for over two years, but I think I’m ready to approach dating in a new way. If the man I’m looking for isn’t out there then that’s okay. This is not a need and he might not exist. I’ve accepted that. Here’s who I am and what I’m looking for. Please read all the way to the end before messaging.

Me: 46F, 5’8”, mom bod/curvy/Venus belly. White, blonde hair, green eyes. Pretty, confident, funny, independent, politically active (far left), kind, smart, creative, and adventurous. 2 adult children grown and flown, one teen still at home; I have raised them on my own and I’m damn proud of them. I like hiking, kayaking, camping, gardening, painting, DIY projects, movies, singing along to my favorite music, dancing, reading/ audiobooks, poetry, and travel that’s centered on outdoor exploration/adventure/ rugged landscapes. I’m not one for manicures or spa days or luxury shopping. No FB, no IG. I take the long way with all the stops on road trips. I’ll choose the winding mountain road with cliffs and drop-offs rather than the interstate any day. I don’t need anyone to rescue me or fix anything for me (I am quite handy), or guide me, or teach me. I have a hard time letting someone else take care of me and I know that about myself, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want someone to try now and then. I don’t smoke anything, and I drink only occasionally, socially. I stay far away from organized religion. I’m vaccinated and I trust scientists. I eat meat, mostly chicken. I hate seafood. I love live theater.

You: 42-49M, 5’10 or taller, average/dad bod build, maybe you have a tidy beard. Good hygiene, nice voice. If you’re balding you shave it and own it—no combovers or sad hanging on. You’re confident, decisive, and a realistic optimist. Not a worrier. You’re kind and your interests cross over with mine but we’re not identical. If you play video/computer games, you do so minimally and socially. Like me, you’re adventurous and up for the journey, singing along as we go. You’ll dance with me. You’re a little bit silly sometimes, in a playful way, and love to make me laugh so hard I snort. You’re also politically active and informed, far left and not religious, vaccinated, science-minded. Not a bigoted or hateful bone in your body, but you’re introspective and on the lookout just in case you missed one. Curious, not judgmental. You know your faults and weaknesses and don’t expect me to fix them. You’re a feminist and understand what that means. You are not a vegan. You like dogs.

The scenario: We become friends and we see if the chemistry is there. We become lovers if it is; sexual compatibility and physical affection are critical. We don’t marry. We probably don’t ever live together. We’re companions: we share friends, but not money, we have adventures, and travel together, but remain free. We might fall in love, we might simply love. Either way, we live well and do no harm to one another.

If this is you AND you live either in Burbank or within 5-6 miles of Burbank (not joking) DM me. All others, please move on and best of luck to you in your search. 💖

Good evening. 20 yr old Latina located in the San Fernando valley. I am home alone so I can host right now. I don’t drive but also down for car fun too. I do PREFER older guys but as long as you’re 18+ we’re good. Message me if you’re in the SFV or local

... Join FetLife. It's the gangbang lifestyle website with tons of events in LA for single men, women, couples, and LGBTQ. Forget dating apps and all this Reddit bullshit. You're not a bad person because you want sex, just have fun. Cheers 🍺

Hello, I am not looking for anything serious or long term I'm mainly looking for a hangout, no pressure. It would be fun to go somewhere share some food, laughs, maybe a kiss or two, whatever feels good for both of us. I will only respond to those that send age, height, location and a recent pic. I understand some of you might not feel comfortable with that but I need to know who's on the other end before I can commit to meeting up. Please skip me if you're unwilling to send that info. If I am interested I will send you a recent picture of me. I am 32F 5'5" dtla asking that you be somewhat nearby. Hope to hear from you!

Hey everyone,

Like most people, I am completely exhausted by the state of modern dating apps. They've turned into slot machines engineered to extract $30/month for basic features, hide matches behind blurs, throttle discovery with algorithms, and let inboxes drown in low-effort bot spam.

I’ve been designing a free dating platform focused on intentionality, fair exposure, and safety. Here is the core direction:

• No Swipe Deck + Reddit-Style Manifesto: No mindless card-swiping. Profiles require a mandatory long-form bio (150–1,500 characters) covering who you are, your routine, and non-negotiables. You like and leave inline replies on specific sentences or prompts (like Hinge, but deeper).
• In-App "Date Proposal" Form: Instead of getting stuck in 3-week dead-end texting loops, either user can send a structured date card (suggesting a public venue, activity, and time window). Accepting it generates a shareable safety summary card (first name, verified badge status, venue, and date/time) that you can text to a friend before meeting up.
• Anonymous 1-at-a-Time "Blind Dating": An opt-in mode that pairs you with one compatible local person at a time based solely on shared values, distance, and zero dealbreakers. Profiles remain hidden and only reveal once both people exchange 10+ messages each and mutually request a reveal, or when someone accepts a date proposal.
• Fair-Share Visibility (No Paid Boosts): You get a curated daily deck of 15 profiles. There is no boost field or pay-to-win ranking. When other compatibility signals are equal, profiles that have received fewer impressions that day naturally rise to the top.
• In-Chat Scam Alerts: Real-time client alerts flag suspicious keywords in the composer and incoming message bubbles (e.g., requests to move to WhatsApp, Telegram, or talk crypto/investments).
• Free Posed Selfie Check & Device Binding: Verification is done via a direct front-camera capture with a randomized physical pose instruction (no gallery uploads). Native emulator scripts are blocked, and abusive spam accounts are permanently banned at the device level.

Future Sustainability & Support

Looking ahead, the long-term vision is to keep core matchmaking 100% free with no paywalls, paid boosts, or subscriptions.

As the platform scales and more users come online in the future, database activity, media delivery, and server traffic will inevitably generate real infrastructure costs down the road. The goal is to fund those operational expenses purely through community donations and voluntary support. To be completely candid about the future: if the community doesn't find value in supporting the servers down the road, it simply won't be possible to keep the platform running indefinitely.

Gauging Interest & Feedback

If this is something you'd actually want to use, let me know. If there's enough genuine interest, I'd love to organize a private testing group down the line to gather feedback and shape how it's built.

Questions for You:

1. What is the single biggest pain point on current dating apps that makes you want to delete them?
2. Does a 150-character mandatory bio minimum feel like a healthy filter against bots/low effort, or is it too much signup friction?
3. What features would make you feel safest when planning to meet someone for the first time?

Appreciate any candid thoughts, roasts, or suggestions!

Jist want to see if i can get some dating if goes well maybe serious relationship. No games. I am mexican. I have cats one dog. And i know how to cook.

Looking for a genuine connection with someone who’s generous, ambitious, and knows how to treat a woman right. 💕💸 I’m all about good energy, loyalty, and mutually beneficial vibes. 🎀✨

I’m closer to Encino just fyi. I’m in a rebuilding phase of life and need everything again, like friends, work, a man lol. I do have a cat though. And a family and siblings. And a popcornopolis addiction. And my imagination 🌗

I’ve been a huge lone wolf lately. I go about my business and run my errands like the gym, making Amazon returns, pausing at my reflection in every surface I pass, and feeling the weight of existence at red lights. My last relationship was long distance so I’ve been in the habit of being on the phone a lot, usually from home lol. But need to change that! My social life is a few hobby groups on rotation, like book club, tennis, pickleball, other book club, a support group, and improv. I’m active in like 2 of these in a given week. Honestly, they’re ok, something about them isn’t very stimulating. I think it’s the people? 🙈

I’m an ambivert, cerebral, creative, and type as an enfp. I’m more of an extrovert but will also say my inner life is louder than my outer one. I’m definitely somewhat eccentric. In basic terms, I’m left leaning, middle eastern American, monotheistic and spiritual, decently fit shorty, feminist with strong humanist values, and everyone always thinks I’m way younger than I am.

I’m a lot more discerning at this point in my life about what work I want to do and who I let in. I’ve always desired to be surrounded by people who can actually see me, who I connect with deeply and who I respect or feel inspired by. If you have depth and soul and are intelligent, we will probably click. I love doing fun things and exploring juicy ideas with people I feel really connected to. I just want to live an organically vibrant and enriching life with beautiful humans. Willing to share pics if we vibe :).

Umm what else, I’ve been to therapy and deal with some things like overlapping adhd and cptsd, but I mean that’s just life for a called soul. I’m educated and my biggest stressor is keeping the vision for a new way to work that works for me (If you have a way to temporarily address this with me let me know… finding work is so rough right now). Not sure what else to share but feel free to ask!

Hello beautiful stranger and happy Saturday!

Yeah! Literally spending more time at the office than anywhere else out and need, want the distraction to bring the balance back, or stay distracted more, haha.

Having said that, I’m not wanting to hook up with you or anyone, not looking to get in your pants, or any of the wild/crazy stuff! Want more of spontaneous, chill, easy going and casual conversations, and eventually get to know you enough to start texting daily and more. Literally, a daily distraction with lots of joy, laughter, charm and maybe a tiny bit of flirt too. All if chemistry is right and we end up compatible to some extent.

Please don’t make a scene if I ask for a pic… not sure why guys get out on the spot if they even dare to ask for a pic… can I at least make sure that I’m talking to a real person and not a bot, or some dude from SE Asia trying to get me to give them all my personal info online… better yet, some crazy a\\\*\\\* catfish! Well, let me know go there cause I honestly don’t want to get downvoted and flooded with crazy comments from negative Nancies and Debbie Downers!

All what it is, I could use some awesome company, and don’t mind your whereabouts, height, weight, eye color, whether you shop at Victoria Secrets… none of that! As long as you have an outgoing personality, even shy is fine with me too, we can meet in the middle, educated, chill, professional and can keep a conversation alive past the first three messages lol.

A bit about me, cause you actually read this far, so kudos and I’d send you a virtual high five now:

Tall tanned & (been told) handsome, well educated, professional, love Italian coffee, the beach, book stores, traveling and pets! Not sure if I can be around or even been around any reptiles, and I’d never judge if you age them lol…. It’s a free and happy world! Super Game of Thrones fan, Marvel movies, and lots of soccer/football.
If you do like some of this or have any cute pics of cats then we probably need to skip to texting right away! Jk!

Seriously though, hit me up with a creative icebreaker or something kind of cool so I spend the next two days glued to my phone talking to you! Also, before I forget, I don’t mind your age as long as mature enough mentally and emotionally, older the better but 18+ is fine.
If you speak any other languages, please say something already, I’d love to connect! Haha. Yeah, I’m a huge fan of Languages and wanna learn as much as possible!

Cheers and have a lovely weekend

Ciao ciao

I’m a LA local looking for a no-strings hook up. 🙉Someone recommended trying LAX airport bars for brief hook-ups with (corporate) travelers. 🙈Any recommends?

Let’s get a room and smoke. Be local. I’m in Alhambra. Looking right now. Just trying to make new friends

Hi All, was getting a bit tired of dating apps ans thought I'd give this a try.

I'm an Armenian 32 year old attorney with 3 graduate degrees. Have my own place, car, a stable life etc. Have a good family that mostly lives in LA. Probably at least slightly above average in terms of attractiveness but on the shorter side (something like 5 6 to 5 8).

Outside of work I like trying new/good restaurants, am a heavy AMC A list user, like going to concerts (largely Alt Rock in true Millenial fashion), and am a big musical person. I'm a story person and generally like tv, manwha, etc. I've also done BJJ on and off since high school. I did some ballroom dance a very long time ago and wouldn't mind restarting that if I found the right partner haha.

I'm open to and have dated people outside my typical preferences but generally am most attracted to ultra petite white, middle eastern, latina, and Indian women under 5 ft 2 (Armenian is a plus) with similar hobbies that is under 36 years old. I'm hoping for something lasting but until I find it am fine with much more casual arrangements. I can be a bit picky and am not trying to take care of someone that doesn't have their life together
