Madera's Local Dating Service

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

-----

I worked for chaff, and earning wheat
was haughty and betrayed.
What right had fields to arbitrate
In matters ratified?

I tasted wheat, -and hated chaff,
And thanked the the ample friend;
Wisdom is more becoming viewed
At distance than at hand.

-E.D.

I'm a very easy going person, yet you'll soon find (assuming you get to know me) that I am loud, somewhat opinionated, and have absolutely no problem telling you how I feel about anything and anyone. I am brutally honest, almost to a fault. I LOVE sports....primarily baseball, football, and Nascar. I am also a huge animal lover; I have a ton of pets, and if I was allowed to, would probably have many, many, more.

I like to make people laugh, compared to the tow truck in the movie cars Mater (I was cutting off my sleeves long befor Larry The Cable Guy) I flirt alot but am very shy in reality. It would be easier for me to skydive than actually ask a lady out on a date, so please take it easy on me.
Finally one of the questions on the test remined me of. The fondation of any good relationship must always be freindship, then partner, then lover. You lose a friend and you lose everything, lose one of the others you can still keep the friendship...

Never really tried this before but you never know...

What makes me unique, well I know I can do anything I put my mind to. With a good woman next to me there is no limit to what I can achieve. I work hard for what I want, and when I obtain it a cherish it.

One thing I've learned is that life is too short to spend it with the wrong person, and true happiness can only be achieved when you share it with somebody.

Haha I never know what to say with these. I guess I'm just a simple guy who's into the cute things in life. I like hanging out with my friends and living in the moment. I like to go on spontaneous trips in the middle of the night with someone who can make me laugh. Music is my passion in life and it's what inspires me to do just about everything. I'm really a sweet guy who has just had a run of bad luck when it comes to trying to find someone.

I love hanging out with friends and having a good time and just chilling. I have a very weird, corny and sometimes twisted and sense of humor. I love laughter, both me laughing and others laughing. But I am mostly down to earth and very easy to get along with. I can get along with just about anyone. I interested in so much I cant really entirely put myself in one group or another. I listen to rock and heavy metal predominately but I also enjoy some hip-hop/rap, a little bit of country, and some classical and just about anything else. I love to learn about almost anything and everything. I want to be so many things I'm just trying to get my undergrad stuff done.

Hey, how is everyone doing?

Well, I guess I will start off by stating that my name is Abbey and that I am 19 years old. I will be attending Fresno City College in January. I keep on switching back and forth in between majors, accounting, teaching, and becoming a Pediatric Nurse. I love and adore kids! I am a very motivated person, not lazy at all unless I have had a really hard day and I want to kick back and relax for the night. My personal opinion, I tend to believe that I am mature for my age. I love the outdoors as in camping, sking, hiking, playing soccer, riding horses etc.

A few things about me that you should know if are slighty interested in wanting to chat or get to know me a bit more than words being typed on a site. 1. I am very Sarcastic--I can be ruthless while being sarcastic and mean but I only have good intentions so if that becomes a problem for you, exit my profile and move on. 2. I have a short fuse (I have a temper). But when I get mad, it is worth of something to become angered about. I do not get mad at stupid things. 3. You will pretty much always find me smiling about almost anything and sometimes that tends to push people away because I never seem to be or look sad ever.
4. I am a very independent person and I do what I want half of the time but with common sense and reason.

I know when to be serious at the rights times and I know when to let things roll off my back, take a deep breath, and keep on smiling.

For all of you people out there that keep asking why I am Athiest through Instant messangers, or emails...Is because I do not believe in God (duh) and if there is a god, he is doing a pathetic job and I am NOT impressed. So there are the reasons now QUIT ASKING ME. K thanx. :) Have a nice day.

Hi, my name is Cheyanne. I am looking for that someone special. I am currently working full-time and going to school full-time. I love reading and watching movies while cuddling up on the couch. I also love going out to dinner at my favorite restaurants. I work with computers and hope to use that knowledge to enhance my soon to be career as an elementary teacher, which has always been my dream. Another part of my dream is to be married and have children. I have two different ideas of a perfect date: 1) Going out to dinner and movie 2) Dinner at home and watching a movie at home. I love surprises and wish that everyday would hold one. I love making people happy. Seeing their light when I had their day just by little acts of kindness makes my day.

If you are interested, please feel free to contact me here or on Facebook.

I'm a hard working single mother of two. Very out going person easy to get a long with. My schedule is pretty hectic but i know how important it is to find time for a special someone.

I'm the type of person who believes in a relationship, and would be dedecated to our relationship. Looking for someone how wants to be loved. I live in Madera Ranchos. I'm a softball dad and enjoy watching my daughter play softball. My daughter palys on a travel team and plays all over the place. Enjoy cooking, cleaning my house, camping fishing, driving all over the place. I'm looking for someone who has a loving heart, and would also be dedecated to a relationship. Did I mention I love to cook.

My name is Myra. I'm a simple kind of girl. I like to laugh and be around those I love. (Read: I am very close to my family). I work and live in Chowchilla, California, in the heart of the Central Valley. While I still have a lot of traveling to do in my life, there is no other place I would rather call home.

I recently got out of a long term relationship, so I'm not exactly on the market. But I am more than willing to meet a lot of new friends, and maybe see where that takes me.

I'm in the military, moved to cali in the last year, looking to meet new people. Graduated from college in 06. I spend a lot of time at work but like to get out when I can. That's all I got.

I'm really down to earth and mellow. I LOVE music and I can't live without it. I'm gonna be going to school to work in the music industry,it's my dream job. I'm very family oriented and my friends are very important to me. I'm a huge baseball fan and I love the Angels so hopefully you can deal with that = I'm a Guitar Hero addict and somewhat of a nerd. I've been playing guitar for about 7 years on and off but I need to get back into it. Maybe I'll find someone who inspires me to get back into it and stick with it.

I suppose I would say I am your average person. Work hard, play hard, rest hard heehee. I love animals, they are a deep part of my life and because of it I want to work within a zoo or a wildlife sanctuary. I'm working now to save up so I can continue my education, that will consist of moving so it's a sort of package deal I don't mind. Some of the things I enjoy are going to the parks around me. Love video games still, never grew out of them and don't really plan on it. Some of my favorites are MMORPGs, and normal ones. Call it the geek in me. Also love to read, especially horror and fantasy novels. Same with movies.

Im a person and thats it. nothing diffrent here from anyone else. Im a pisces that survived somthing that still haunts me and thats it.

Let's see I'm 25, and just looking for that all around nice guy. Someone to chill with, and just have a good time. I am totally laid back, and super chill. I like metal and rock music, I work nites at a local bar in Tower. I also have a normal job working Monday thru Friday doing marketing for an adult day care in Fresno. I just moved back to Fresno from home, yep had to move to save money to get my place, but it's all good, cuz I'm back YAY!!! I am extremely outgoing and outspoken, I am a very independent girl, and looking just to meet new people :), and to see what happens.

I am a 21 year old female soon to be 22. I have 2 children ages 3 and 1. I am a single mother so therfore I am very busy. I like to go on long drives, go four-wheeling, and sometimes just cuddle up and watch a movie. I am very friendly, responsible, and have a good head on my shoulders. I am very tired of meeting fake people that say they are wanting a long term relationship but then in reality it's all about sex. I need someone to make me feel loved and wanted. I love to cuddle so they for sure have to have a pasionate side to them.

Hi! My name is Priscilla. For the most part I'm a pretty relaxed and open minded person. My family and friends are very important to me. I'm an independent, straight forward kind of girl. I don't like games. Anything else you wanna know ask me.

18.
Class of 2009.
Soon to be leaving to Lakeland AFB, San Antonio TX.
Can be a bit of a drama queen.
I live everyday to the fullest. One can never know if today is their last day.

I am kinda chill. I like to have fun go to concerts and stuff like that. I also enjoy spending time with my family. I have the worlds greatest friends! To know me is to love me. I would like to think that I am a pretty great person who has a good heart.

It's actually kinda hard to say that... I don't want to come off as arrogant or conceited, but it's true. I love my family, I am a good friend and I love my job and the consumers that I serve.

This may not be my forever but right now things are pretty good:)

Where to start well.......I am 19,I am an all out COUNTRY GIRL AND I LOVE IT.I just moved to Lovland Colorado from madera California. I love being outdoors,I was an Assistant trainer on a horse ranch Befor I moved out here.....I'm Spontaneous I like to have fun and go out. Im competitive especially when I team penn.I like people and like getting to know people!Im really good at blending in with all types of people.

Right Now Im just looking for some friends out here. Who knows Im a firm beliver in a great relationship is built on good friendship. Im a hopeless romatic. I like being touched but I need my space too. I am always up to try new things and love an adventure.

Fun loving guy who loves the outdoors and indoors. I come across as shy when you first meet me but as I get to know people I really open up. I have a good sense of humor . I'm focused and a hard worker, pretty organized well I try, and very easy to please not easily amused. dirtbike riding and snowboarding are 2 of my favorite things to do. I love my kids, they are the coolest.I am very blessed I grew up in Fresno and still live here. I really enjoy it here, it has a lot to offer in terms of the things that i enjoy doing plus it is close to a allot of beautiful place that I like to visit. If you want to know anything else just ask!!!

jeez. i dunno. guess i'll start from the beginning. i was born in orange, california. i moved to fresno, ca when i was 10. so i consider fresno more my hometown. i went to college at UC santa cruz. 3 years. i didnt graduate cause i couldnt concentrate cause i spent all my time seeing my girlfriend at the time.

i like to go to concerts. go to clubs and dance. ether 80's club or eurotrash trance stuff, but i wish there were some jpop clubs. i love jpop. i like to play videogames, but i can never finish em. mostly like rpg stuff like final fantasy. i dont watch tv at all cept the news once in awhile.

i miss doing couple stuff. been single a long time since my last girlfriend. i just wanna make that special connection with someone. when you're young you think you make a lot of those type of connectiosn with people, but as you get older you realize how rare it is.

Hi! I haven't written an essay yet because I joined OkCupid very recently. This space is where I'll express myself soon though. If you'd like to know more about me, please send me a message. This is the default essay OkCupid fills in for new users who haven't written about themselves yet.

I love learning about almost anything, and spend most of my time doing that, even when I look like I'm doing something else entirely. I especially like to read about something then go see what it really is or trying out how an idea works in the real world (danger: amateur "science experiments" occasionally go very wrong but are always interesting...it is not a bad idea to be standing by with a fire extinguisher) I tend to work to much, mostly because I've loved every job I've ever had.

I definitely enjoy my time off and am working on building relationships with people who make me healthier and happier. I find my free time far more enjoyable when I have someone to share it with. I'm not very good at making friends but I believe I'm good at being a "real" friend once I get to know someone and am loyal well past the point of logic once I allow someone to become part of my life. I am the guy who would help a friend dispose of a body--the whole time trying to convince them "this is not the best way to handle this", unless it really is the best way to handle it!

Profile Revamped as of Sept. 26th 2009 (i.e. still searching for the right one):

"We live, as we dream - alone" -J. Conrad

A little about me first:

I'm up for whatever. I'm really open, so if you want to know anything, all you have to do is ask. Seriously, you can ask me anything or take me anywhere and I'll go with it - I'm extremely laid back in that sense.

I'm a graduate student, I'm from the Midwest and plan on moving back in 2 years after school's done (Either Minnesota, Illinois, or Iowa most likely), I love my Chicago Bears, I have a slight obsession with Cookie Monster, and I'm prolly one of the most complicated and unique people you will ever meet....and if ya wanna know more, ya just gotta ask...

The key to my heart is devotion, affection, trust, truth, and the ability to keep promises. If you can do that, I'm yours.

Ok, so dating around lately has taught me that I really am looking for specific things...I've strayed from these things only to be disappointed in one way or another. So here we go...

I'm officially looking for something long-term and serious, but know ya gotta date first before finding "the one"

Mandatory traits I'm looking for:
Single(preferably never married), age 21-36, NO KIDS!

Other:
Educated/Career in whatever and passionate about it, future-oriented but can be spontaneous, house/apt/some sort of living condition that's not with parents or involves me driving long distances into BFE, cheesy humor or any humor for that matter, stability, good hygiene, can be gentleman/romantic/sweet/old-fashioned when it's called for, more dominant in nature, not overly needy

My greatest attraction is:
Longer hair, bright blue/green eyes, piercings and/or tats, 5â??8" or taller, on the thinner side, somewhat muscular, and what you would call a typical rocker/punk/emo/grunge style (it's important to note that all of these exact traits donâ??t matter as much if there is a true connection, but it is my greatest attraction)

-In order for me to answer back and for this to go anywhere, I expect that you live somewhere near me. I will not typically pursue anyone living more than 50 miles away, unless you are the one willing to travel...or unless i really like you

Stuff about me.... I am a sports freak especially when it comes to football and the olympics. I like to go out, but just fine with staying home as well. Just an all around blanced guy. If you want to know anything else, just message me.

Who is this Man called Charles? Sometimes I wonder myself. I waltz to my own tune for the most part. Fairly fascinating I like to think. But I would say that I am a fairly down to earth. I like where I live - but I long for a change of scene. Somewhere with better public transportation. I've gone from knowing my life, to being estranged from it!! From knowing myself to losing myself. That is something that I am working on.
'Love', Katharine Hepburn once said, 'has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get only what you are expecting to give - which is everything'. I follow this philosophy. I believe I have a lot of love to give when I find the right guy, I thought that I did find that guy but fate had a different journey for us. Who knows maybe our lives will come back together. We never know what the future will hold for us. Love is an amazing thing. This is not to say that Iâ??m â??lookingâ??, but rather, â??longingâ?? for that love to return again. And fair enough, says I. I have this dreadful knack of overlooking the most gorgeous, sweet guys - assessing them as "nice, but not for meâ?? or â??I am not good enough for themâ??. Many a sweetheart has brushed me by. I always realize when it's too late and go "oh Charles...how could you be so stupid?" I donâ??t think that I am a perfectionist but that is something that I would like to become, but I am by far my harshest critic. I am trying to just be open and honest with others but mostly myself. Iâ??m also trying to be candid though, and approach things with a sense of humor. I am perhaps quite well known (some that know me well would say 'infamous') for my 'no nonsense, call a spade a spade' style. I love laughing and making people laugh. I have probably a fairly off-beat sense of humor; often sarcastic; even more often sardonic; sometimes in bad taste; yes, occasionally immature. But many would say that I have a great heartâ?¦ and lots of love to give. Just being alive is a tremendous opportunity - but I have learned that it's what you do with it that counts. You have to do the best you can with what you've got, and just let logic be your guide. I try to paddle my own canoe; to think positively; and be my own person. We pass this way but once, and I don't intend on leaving any stones unturned. My heroes are Katharine Hepburn, Grandmother, Tina Turner, Oskar Schindler, and yes, dare I say it, my mother - all very admirable people, with strength, integrity, and lots of personality - which really is what I'm trying to be all about. One day I'm sure that with my drive and ambition, talents (?), intelligence, wit, charm, quiet confidence, and rather cute arrogance, I will battle my way to the top, leaving a trail of both lovers and haters - but all of them in awe. I will find my place in the sun and most likely - a place, somewhere, in everybody's hearts along the way. Film and Music are a big part of my life, I love pretty much anything from the 1950's ,60's ,70â??s and 80â??s. If you are messaging me you should know I don't respond well to lewd messages, if at all. I like people who are unique, have character and integrity and who earn respect WITH respect. Thankyou. Ever Yours , Charles

I enjoy making people laugh, and try very hard to see the good in people. I love to laugh and have a good time. I love good conversation, music (almost all kinds), theatre, movies, reading and I enjoy traveling and seeing new places. My friends know me as loyal, caring, faithful and trustworthy.

I am a student going to Fresno State, my major is Chemistry. Plan to go to Med School in a few years. Very outgoing and fun to be around. Serious when I need to be. Love to read, party, listen to music... There is a lot to know, let me know.

As life goes on I'm starting to learn more and more about responsibility...

I just love...

friendships
naps
dressing up
protein shakes
surprise movies
oatmeal
rain
text messages
sunglasses
hiphop
handicap button
super sets

I'm a dreamer, a mystic,a poet, an artist, an intellectual,a friend, and a lover. I see with my heart and my mind. I may come across as naïf but I see clearly; I choose to focus on the positive because light is not swallowed up by darkness. The bravest thing that anyone can do is walk in the light of love, openness, empathy, and humanity. Besides life is much more fun that way! And that is how I choose to live

Im really looking for good friends right now, maybe something closer in the future, I really don't like to rush things. I love to travel, I think If I had more money I would travel more. Iv been to New York which was beautiful and very busy, that city never seems to die. Washington DC was nice, but not my cup of tea. I want to travel to Japan and Ireland.. Something you should know Im a sucker for Ireland. Something about the green hills, landscapes that just make me feel at peace. Currently Im still trying to finish school for Psychology. I enjoy listening and helping others with their situation, I believe I give the best advice. Adventures is what I crave as I am a risk taker and from that a positive thinker and a care free spirit. Also Im an animal lover, something to mention.

I live in the arm-pit of California but wish I could live in San Francisco. I'm convinced I should be famous and have my own tv show (but not in the self-centered way). While I have various interests my favorite things in life are music, reading, writing, making collages, and dancing like a loon. Religion is not high on my list of priorities although I am slightly Jewish and have a Korean grandmother (even thought I'm full-blooded white). I refer to my closest friends as whores and they, as well as my family, are the most important things in my life. My favorite band, currently, is The Velvet Underground but be prepared for sporadic changes in my musical taste.

So far, I have never written a profile I was completely happy with. This profile is like ver. 1.23. Go figure.. maybe its software! >:P

and...

Why is it that I can never find a guy who isn't fat and has at least a very decent body, isn't dramatic, is cute, and is single? Life is a bitch, then you die. >:P

finally...

I dunno what to say about my profile below. I'm just the kind of person that falls into the group of normal people and normal thinking. That doesn't mean anything negative though.. I'm just unique. I tried so many different ways of writing my profile. I was never happy being silly, because I had the feeling people wouldn't take me seriously. I was never happy being honest and writing a biography, because I feel it kills the point and fun of getting to meet someone. So, to make okcupid happy, I decided to write a bunch of nonsense.. mostly. I hope you readers understand that it is my playful side speaking. If you want to get to meet the special/kind/loving person I am, you gotta message me. If you want to get to know me and the person I am inside, you gotta keep talking once you meet me... I'm shy you know. Initiating conversations is so hard.

And about my few and fair requirements... ---> no drama, no fat

I really do hate drama. The last thing I want is a guy who bitches and complains all the time. I want to be around people who are in control of themselves, their lives, and who have a big pair of balls. By that, I mean a little bit of courage... yah know.. one who can stand up for themselves.

For weight and looks.. I want a minimum of a decent looking guy. I have had people call me insensitive for not wanting to even date someone overweight. Well, I'm sorry if it disappoints anyone. I am not attracted to overweight people. I go to the gym weekly and I watch my diet.. Like everyone should!

Now both things I just talked about.. drama and health (or looks/weight or whatever you call it) are things every individual has control over. So control it, or don't talk to me betch! D:<

Oh wow, I didn't realize I went on for so long about that subject. Well, I'll get on to my profile. have fun! D:

***HERE WE GO!*** A more serious profile?

Well let's see, I'll start with me being shy. Then I'll move on to my personality -----> INFJ. I look like a serious person, or a mad person, or a crazy scientist... but actually I'm a really nice guy with a realy awsome personality. I would describe myself as well balanced with a little bit of everything. I am not into sweets as much as I am into bold and strong tasting foods. For example, I enjoy a dark red wine 10x more than I enjoy a white wine. In fact, I rarely touch white wine. Maybe once a year? I love coffee too. My new favorite word is peachy. My days are almost peachy, my life is peachy, so on and so forth. Although I rarely eat peaches. :P Cute word though.

I am a Doctoral student in Psychology so I am very busy at times. I say this up front because I think it gives an idea of how ambitious and career-oriented I am. Another telling fact about me... I grew up an hour outside of Chicago, lived in NYC for 2 years, and then moved here to Fresno. I can be very serious and intellectual at times and others I am goofy and care-free. I'm a people person. I am fairly outgoing and enjoy getting to know new people. My other passion is music. I have this contradiction about my interest in music in that I am interested in many different genres of music but I'm picky about which songs or artists I actually like. Something else that might be important to know about me... I used to party quite a bit have moved on and don't drink now. I am also an animal lover. I've developed a love for traveling. Just ask and I could tell you stories about the places I've been.

There should be some way to track how many times this portion of the profile gets changed. In fact, I've just gone ahead and made indecisive my third word in that describe yourself thing going on up there.

I graduated from BU this May, and now am in the real world. Lame. I'm going to be spending a few weeks in Fresno this winter, but most of the time I'm near Boston.

In Boston, I love walking around the city looking at what has changed. I always have my camera with me. It's not a very good camera, but it takes pictures quickly. I've been to almost every part of the Boston area and want to visit all the parts I've missed. I keep forgetting to go to Bay Village, even though I've been all around it. Yes, there is a neighborhood in Boston called Bay Village, it's near Back Bay and the south end.

In Fresno....well, there's not much to do. It is very flat though, which makes for fun bike rides. I can bike for miles, but even the slightest hill can dampen my trip.

So I'm not a huge fan of talking about myself like this, but here goes. I'm a 25 year old guy living in Santa Cruz. I came here in 2001 for school and eventually graduated from UCSC in '06, and now I specialize in not using my degree at all.

I enjoy playing guitar, chilling with friends, hiking around Santa Cruz, and going to the beach, among other things. I've been playing disc golf for a while, and my buddy recently got me into stick-golf (i.e. real golf), but I do enjoy playing other sports besides golf variations. I also enjoy watching sports, and love all the bay area teams, but baseball and the Giants are my faves.

I'm pretty open-minded and spontaneous, and am down to do just about anything, but I can't really describe myself in this box so if you wanna know more about me, just ask!

My name is Fabian Ruelaz, from Fresno California. I'm the oldest child out of 5 at 21 years of age.

I think most people would describe me as either awkward or obnoxious.

I am both shy and outgoing, depending on the company I keep, or how much I have had to drink.

I'm a bit intense and tend to voice my feelings/emotions at the exact moment I am feeling them. If I cannot have absolute sadness or happiness, then I'd rather not have either. I'm not really sure why I lean towards such extremities, but I chalk this up to just "being me".

I recently graduated from law school and took the California bar exam, which means I am only just now emerging back into reality after three years of intense graduate education. My life feels a little like a blank slate right now, which is why I dumped everything that was previously written here and have not yet replaced it with much.

Well, first off, hi =) I'm a 20-something young Christian woman who recently became a licensed Physical Therapist! I really enjoy my work, and I value a level of professionalism that unfortunately seems to be disappearing.
I think there's something to be said about traditions, but I'm willing to consider new ideas. Having said that, though, I'm hard right-winger and have very strong opinions. I know where I stand, but you're welcome to try to knock me over... good luck :-P
I have the maturely adapted curiosity of a child and a strong affinity for imagination, evident by many aspects of my life. I'm kind of a playful geek =)
My interests are really all over the place, but most commonly you're likely to find me at a sushi karaoke bar or wrestling my dogs on the floor while the football game or Heroes plays on the big screen.
I've been known to roll a few polyhedral dice in my time, as well as compose a few songs, play a few video games, and read a few books.
I'm really very eclectic, so even if we're "enemies," I'm sure there's some common ground to be found somewhere. =)

Oh, by the way... I hate Chihuahuas and will drop-kick on sight. The end. :-P

i like to listen, im kind of shy, but am up for anything. a little bit sarcastic and mistaken for very serious, but just kind of layed back.

Im not in love with mary jane, but enjoy her company. Im not bad at it. i actualy dont smoke pot that much anymore. not much of a drinker, ill have a beer with ya but i dont drink to get fucked up.

i find chess, Risk, monopoly, taboo and some friends makes for a good night too.

My intrests include: chillin, smokin hookah, riding atv's , engineeringdrawing hiking fishing and just hanging out .

I live in a small town that dosent really have anything to do, so every few months ill go some where like san jo, oakland or fresno.

according to most people i m a dork and sarcastic.

i really dont think i could live without meat, mountain dew, and chocolat. i mean i could but i wouldnt want to.
