Go to e-harmony or something bro. I don't know what to tell ya. Finding girls is all about putting yourself in a situation to do so. At this point in my life, I'm all about getting my tip wet so I can't really relate to you.
young and dumb girls...not even worth it anymore really. such stupid fucking mind games and gay bullshit you have to go through, so naive and what not. cougs is where its @.
OKCupid.com is free and pretty cool. I met the chick I live with from that site. She is like my best female friend.
I would really get out of LA or try to visit other places you may not have before. Bookstores, coffee shops, the park (do you even have normal parks in LA that aren't some weird suburban getup), maybe the theatre (plays etc not movies). Sign up for some social interest groups for things you like. Sign up for new classes for things you might be interested but haven't given a try yet. Kayaking, something weird. Recreational softball? I know those kinda things sound nerdy and queer but maybe you'll meet somebody solid there that isn't vapid.
They know what they want and have no reservations about it. Young guys and older chicks have absolutely nothing in common except for their high sex drive.
meetup.com is a good site. But ya, eharmony sucks. I did it for a while. Mostly women I wasn't attracted to, or crazy... I went out on four dates. One girl had HPV and didn't tell me until we were both naked in her bed... that was a close one.
I'd also suggest signing up for a trivia group at a local bar if they have those in LA. I've a couple friends who have met their partners are things like trivia night. A nice little competitive setting where you can chat and mingle with people while having a few drinks.
