Announcement: this is an off-topic post. Well, kinda -- it's sort of a meta-post. Please bear with me.
So, I've noticed something about the OP's posting sthyle: he seems much, much more invested in responding to any negative posts that occur in his topics than any on-topic ones. For someone who claims to be so disappointed by "off topic" posts, he's not doing much increase the amount of on-topic posts. I suspect that if he responded to the posts that actually answered his question, and ignored the posts that supposedly disappoint him so, he'd be more likely to increase the perceived signal to noise ratio.
For instance, these are the posts I've found that seem to meet his criteria for being on topic.

Ive known several over40 and over50 Dommes. They tend to favor realtime, and leave the internet stuff to the younger ones. The ones I knew at least. However, you should realize that the number of older dommes who are going to be interested in sneaking around and playing at someones fantasy, online or realtime, is going to be drastically lower. AS we get older, many of us realize that we want someone who is going to be ours, not someone we have to share with a wife that doesnt know shes sharing. EVen if you find a cache of older Dommes, finding some that are in the age bracket you want and interested in playing to your fantasy is going to be a bit more challenging.

Actually, myself included, I would say over half of the female dominant regular posters on this site are over 40. So....do you mean posts on this side or profiles on the other side?

While there are indeed women over the age of 50 here (it only took one of you to prove that, btw), as a fan of your demographic, I've also noticed that your ranks here are thin.
A shame. I was hoping for some sort of clue as to how to better bait my trap.

This woman is over 50 and I'm not looking for any new subs.
I also post a lot here on CM.

I wasn't aware it stopped after 50....I have many Dommes contact me...many over 50....many under 30....but I will agree...they get a smidge more selective after 50.
So do men. Women, because they're tired of the bullshit that always comes from all the young bucks trying to make their mark (and it's almost always bullshit)....us/you because we're old fuckers and we're just tired of all the bullshit...but some of them ("they"....the Dommes) have dealt with all the bullshit for a tad longer than we subs.
It's a Mobius strip. Can't win....can't lose....can't fucking kill 'em....can't fucking ("something"...I'm lacking here)....but you can't fucking something or other....and that's what pisses me off the most!

You can't go by the profiles. People pull their profiles when they aren't interested in receiving mail. As most dommes over 50 have probably found their ideal sub/lover/husband long ago, and are only interested in a pure service sub, if at all, they are the ones most likely to be invisible to the data.

Well, i did the same search in your listed state and found 9 Dommes listed. Perhaps you had other criteria besides age? Just dropping it to 50 adds another 20. Now a search in my state had considerably more, and if you take short jog to your neighbor California there are more than 50 who have been on just today.
This appears to be a demographic question since you are basing it on what you found in your state. Perhaps you should contact state officials and let them know of this problem
Oh, and also, women lie about their age.....like men and their height

ORIGINAL: MsSonnetMarwood
Are you sure it's height that they're lying about? 
But seriously - my experience in getting involved in munches, local parties, etc, is that there is NO shortage of women in the 40+ and 50+ age range getting out there and having a damn good time amongst the pervs. However, when you add in other factors (again, BPS i.e. Big Picture Syndrome), the pool of potential eligibles always narrows exponentially.

Not sure here but is it possible that the older female Dommes, don't find the need to look. That if they are truew Dommes they may have a very busy lifestyle that affords little time for leisure. I could be wrong.

ORIGINAL: DiurnalVampire
The simple reason there are going to be a lot more younger Dommes on here than there are older ones, lifestyle wise, is that the older lifestyle dommes most of the time have already found what they want. The people on here are searching. If they are lucky, but the time they reach your age of interest, many have already found a good partner and have stopped looking.

That's strange, when I just did a search of Female Dominants in AZ aged 40-70 I came up with 3 pages of names. Again, what criteria are you using. There were 12 on the first page alone that were over 45.

I am a 44 year old female Dominant and I know that there are plenty of us on CM. I personally am not looking for a sub right now as I have a 35 year old male sub whom I am very happy with. All you have to do is seek and you may find one who is looking for someone such as yourself.
Good Luck,

So the one thing I'll add to the conversation is that you are talking about the internet. And so there are also generational differences at play. We baby boomers can be internet savvy but we are not the internet generation. Some of us are not as facile with the medium. Some of us don't think of looking for others this way. Now the X and Y generations are all about the internet. Myspace. Facebook and the like. Dating and hooking up this way, and just socializing this way is a part of their culture. Real life differences I suspect will be reflected similarly on match.com and eharmony.

I added a comment, and if you dont like my comment then feel free to ignore it much like you are ignoring many of the worthwhile commentary that HAS been given to you on the forum so far.
I didn't comment because what you said makes sense. Did you expect an argument?
OK, since you expected an argument, I don't agree with your theory. It's very difficult for me to believe that older women aren't looking, especially considering that the large majority of men like younger women.
Happy now?
When the OP does bother to respond to the more informative posts, he tends to make comments like this one ... which pretty much encourage a rise in inflammatory posts that go back muddling up the actual topic.
I suspect that if the OP can: - learn to only respond to what he considers to be the relevant, on-topic parts of each response
- not dignify the parts of each response that he considers to be off-topic or inflammatory with a response
- try to respond to the relevant, on-topic parts of each response with the same tone in with that part of the response was written
-- such behavior may go a long way to repairing the damage to his reputation that has caused him to become incapable of starting a relevant discussion on this board.
