I can't talk about NY, but having lived in LA for 5+ years I can safely say that it's a horrible place for either sex to seek out any form of lasting relationship.
Of course if you love spending your evenings in bars buying drinks for willing girls under 25 (or at least who claim to be) then LA's a great place to live.
I am surprised you say that about LA. Though I haven't lived there, I have multiple friends that wouldn't trade LA for a thing! They are also not the relationship-types but do have stunning women around them whenever I meet them.
As for buying drinks, you know, that depends on the individual's mojo;) I've personally never tasted alcohol so the question of buying someone else a drink is far off. But I get your point.
Oh I loved LA too for the first few years. It's a great place to live when you're in your twenties with some disposable income and aren't looking for anything too permanent. And yes, it has a bountiful supply of women who would be knockouts in any other town but are just average in LA.
After a few years though I just found it got kinda old, repetitive and a little shallow. Ironically I now live in SF :)
