I've been going to AA regularly for several years now and gone to many different towns and city locations. I have yet to see any female in their mid 20's or 30's at any of these meetings. There are however good looking guys at some of these meetings (strong no homo). I find this shocking too because every female I've dated has pretty much been a raging alcoholic. What gives?

How come there are never single attractive females at AA meetings?

Because they don't acknowledge their addiction so they don't go to meetings? Seeing how many women have coped with lockdown chugging bottles (or boxes) of wine is crazy. And they likely don't think it (and the weight gain) is an issue.
I am one of the 3%.
I am one of the 1 in 8.

Bc alcohol destroys your skin.
You probably have seen women in their 30s there, they just look 50.
I had 4 drinks in one night a week ago and spent the next day hungover as hell. Do not know how people drink regularly. One serving of bourbon or a truly once a week is plenty.They said she's gone too far this time
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A couple of reasons: women don't feel comfortable around big groups of men, which most 12 step groups are. There are women only recovery groups for that reason. If you're already an addict the last thing you need is to feel unsafe or harrassed.
Other one is women don't typically acknowledge they have a serious problem and seek help themselves until later. There are tons of functional women alcoholics, but they don't ever go to recovery because it isn't seen as an issue. In fact, often spouses enable their behaviour to not have to deal with their issues.
