Merced's Local Dating Service

i like to have fun when i can with my friends. i like to camp when i can go. i like old cars. i like movise and musics

Hi :-) I'm a single guy in the Merced area, who would love to find someone to go out with on a long term basis. I've lived here in the "good old" central valley all my life and have a lot of family around here. I enjoy laughing a lot and, am always coming up with jokes, although my daughters and friends would probably refer to them by another name........ "lame" I think is the most common description, but, that doesn't stop me from coming up with them :-) I like a lot of outdoor activities and, despite the cliche, I do actually like to take walks in the moonlight. I enjoy eating out and definitely like traveling.

Hi,my name is Tom and i live in the central valley of California,in the town of Merced. Outer appearances mean nothing to me,but you must be warm,friendly and a generally nice person.I consider myself fun(though a bit quiet at times)warm,and a generally good person. I like all the little romantic things like holding hands,looking at stars,and such.I like going out,or staying in for a quiet dinner and a movie.Family time is very special to me.I'm looking for someone who is tired of playing games romantically,someone who is serious about being in a committed relationship but who isn't afraid to act silly too. I think friendship is a precursor to any good relationship.

Well I'm a full time bio student. I'm really laid back and open minded. I'm always laughing or trying to make people laugh. I like animals and nature, so i guess i'm part hippie. oh well, nobody's perfect.

I am a mom of 2 beautiful daughters. Love to cook, do things for others. I love the ocean and going for long drives.I love singing and being a bit silly at times.

I can't believe I've resorted to online dating!! But you'll try anything after so many relationships gone bad. I go to school, teach pre-school and have a 1 yr old. I spend alot of time with my family and try to stay as busy as possible (to stay out of trouble). I love poker, water sports and snowboarding. I've partied for the last 8 years of my life, so it's finally time to get serious and make something of myself...

Musician, no big deal...retired, not rich, love non commercial music. Horney. 58 and still great...

WE COME TO LOVE...NOT BY FINDING A PERFECT PERSON...BUT BY LEARNING TO SEE AN IMPERFECT PERSON...PERFECTLY.

I'm an Irishman that came out west from boston after grad school..I like sports, music, and art, dancing, speaking foreign languages, eating out, ect..Let me know what you think, 28, athlectic..

I'm a proud godfather who is into technology and the Internet. I'm also kind of a geek and I like to listen to CNETs Buzz Out Loud podcast. I am a former WOW ( World of Warcraft) player. I would still play but really would like to pass my class's this semester in college. I would much rather be on Pismo beach than in Santa Cruz any day of the week. I believe that "what you do, speaks louder than what you say". And finally I like Vodka in just about any kind of soda.

I welcome anyone who may be interested to at least say hello. You never know right?? I'm easy going, a lot of fun to be around. I tend to work hard for what I want. I'm unusually mature for my age, though I know how to have a good time. A good conversation is important, so if you can't hold up your end of it, what's the point?!?! I'm interested in finding a guy who knows how to have fun, but who understands the importance of down time too :) I need someone to spend time with, but who doesn't expect me to dedicate every moment of every day to them- I have friends and they are important. Someone who understands that I'm independent and that I have no desire to have someone support me. I'm ridiculously rational at times. If you think you can handle that- I look forward to hearing from you!

I am daichi. I am study English in Merced!
pleaese teach me English, if you like. I like to play sports. Will you play sports with me!!

just a quiet guy, I like to do wood working projects from building shelves to fixing things that broke.
I like to do lawn and garden projects, there is something about watching things change as you do them and when your done you always think of new things to do.
I love how the seasons change even if they don't change much here in California. Oh! I like to go camping and fishing, hunting not so much unless it is for pictures or food. first time went hunting and had the deer in my sights and wouldn't you know it Bambie flashed into my head I knew Walt Disney had a ulterior motive when they made that movie.

I love being outdoors and sitting around the house watching movies! I love camping, swimming, mountain biking, taking my Bronco off road, snowboarding, shooting pool ect... O and most important to me riding my motorcycle...

I enjoy staying in or going out... I like to travel and see new places... I strive for success and don't let anything get in my way...

ok well my name is samantha, im pretty out there, i dont like to be a quiet lil girl, i like to be out there with the guys, like mess around, and fight. im 5'7, dark hair and green eyes, im like average size..chunkey-ish i guess. hmmm...i like to play music and listen to it. i pretty much have the mind of a guy, but i still have my girlish ways haha. i dont really have a fav type of music. i like to dance. i have a sister (she showed me this haha) uhh...i like animals, i major in science, i have 2 dogs, one cat, and one rat. im adopted by my grandparents, and i like to go out and have a good time :, im not to self absorbed but i know when to acknowledge a complement. i can be pretty pervy haha but i cant help it.

I'm hispanic. 28. 5'6". I'm a pretty easygoing and laid back guy. I've always been kinda shy but once I'm comfortable with people, my silly and wacky side comes out. I love learning and trying new experiences. Breakdancing is one of my passions but I think i might be getting a little to old for that. It hurts my arthritis LOL JK.

I'm an independent woman wanting love from a good man..

I am a newly divorced dad. I am looking for someone to talk and get to know each other. I do have kids and they are my life, so if you need someone that gives you all of the spotlight, not here. Anything else, please ask.

Well what can I say. I am a loving caring individual looking for his equal. I am 5'5 with nice brown eyes and short black hair. I consider my attractive and good-looking. I am very open-minded and down to earth. My interests include going out occasionally, movies, amusement parks, family get togethers, bbq, or just staying home and watching videos. I see myself looking for a nice woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to be herself. I also am looking for a woman with similar interests as mine, someone with a big heart and a good head over her shoulders and alot of love to give, but most inportantly someone to show me where the heart is?

Yikes, okay let's see...I love to travel, different foods and culture interest me. I am a sucker for sushi and I go religiously every Saturday. I'm into all types of music except rap. I'm irish and the reason I don't have pics up right now is you'll have to ask me for one. I'm not ugly lol. I work a full time job and am completely self suficient, and I love pilates. I love any type of activity like camping hiking ect w/e. I'm very stubborn and I tend to hold grudges if you f with me or anyone I care about. I will not hesitate to be the first one to call someone out if they are acting like an idiot or offend me or any of my friends. I'm very tiny buy that won't save you î??.

hi... just seeing what sort of people in the merced area are on here these days...!

looking for women who have an artistic streak, or at least something less than mundane going on... hopefully bi, or bi curious, but you can ask about that one. lol

Really I just want honesty no matter what.
Don't really know what I'm looking for, I know I don't have a type. Just has to be that instant attraction, that magnetic pull that you can't see, but you feel it and you know it's there.

I am extremely liberal, not a HUGE fan of religion, and really think people should know wtf they are talking about before they speak.

i love life, i am trying semi-hard to be like "yes-man", and I really do think a little thing like saying a kind word, or giving up your seat to an elderly person, can change the world.

I am pro choice
I am pro gay marriage and gay rights
I am pro physician assisted suicide (the right to die)
i am for global warming legislation
i am for environmentalist causes
i am against the death penalty
i am against religion in politics
i am for free speech in any form (that doesn't harm others)
i am against the FCC or censorship of any form of art
i am anti war (preemptive)
i don't think troops 5 thousand miles away fighting an elusive and non threatening people somehow ensure our "freedom"
i am for gay porn (joke, though people can watch whatever they want : )
i am for animal rights (i think fishing is animal cruelty!)
I voted for Barack HUSSEIN Obama

this is just a few of my stances, don't agree with them? lets talk about it. :

I am a business man and a drummer I have tattoos and a degree in theatre, I like showers and being naked. I drive a truck and love my son more than anything on earth, hate's marriage but love's companionship. Home made lemonade and juicers turn me on (in a healthy way) c'mon now.
I have a little ass and a fun body and I dont look or act my age sometime's...

I'm a pretty introverted person, which tends to either come off as mysterious or intimidating; sometimes both. I don't have much patience for stupid people, or people who lack/refuse to use common sense. I'm a grammar nazi, but not like those really annoying people who'll correct you while you're speaking. I'm a musician; piano is my passion. I'm also a writer. I'm honest, and I don't beat around the bush. I don't like playing (mind) games, and I tend to grow bored with people fairly quick. My Mother often says I'm an old soul, and that I was born in the wrong century.

I used to smoke, but quit in November of '08 after 6 years of filling my lungs with tar (and getting badgered by my mother for it).

I'm kind of an asshole--sometimes on purpose, sometimes not so much. I love dry humor, and my biggest personality trait is sarcasm. I curse like a sailor, and my mind is in the gutter 98.8% of the time, but I think it just adds to my charm.

I'm not a superficial person. Sure, I find people attractive by their looks; I'm human. I don't base anything around physicalities, though. If somebody has an amazing personality, they're going to be attractive to me, no matter their outward appearance, and that's all that really matters in the long run, anyway.

I'm not in shape whatsoever, and I've accepted the fact that I may never really be, so if that's what you're looking for, you may as well move on right now.

I'm essentially just one huge contradiction after another.

The most apt description is probably "girl next door - grown up".
I've benefitted from a good education, interesting work (which continues) a comfortable home (on acreage in the country - which is far preferable to living in town - unless the town is San Francisco). Life is shared with dogs, cats, horses and a lone sheep....my boon companions. Gardening, reading, antiquing, browsing art galleries, hiking, biking, listening to NPR, keeping relatively fit are among favorite activities. Humor is absolutely mandatory....how can someone go through life without laughing?

I am a single mother with teenage boys. I like movies, music, cooking, animals and spending time with my family.

Im honest, loyal and outgoing. I treat people with respect and honesty and thats all I ask in return.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­​!I like to go out on weekend trips, to the movies, out to clubs or sometimes I just stay at home and relax.

i'm not as well as i should be but i am ok. I have been threw alott in the past 5 years. Just starting to get things right. i like to have fun. Yea my class mates know me as being the wild one. oh well some one has to have the smart logical answer.lol. i try ti have a since of humar but sometimes it is tuogh to. i am very up front about me. some women say that i am to open. im a gentlman that is just so lonely and wants to meet the special lady that wants me. For i am a man than knows that doesnt like heart ake.

Hey whats up? Well my name is Victor i live in a small town called Merced you may have been here or passed by it. I'm a very nice out going guy that cares a lil to much sometime but hey that's life. I work at costco and trying to go back to school. Things I like to do for fun is playing golf,football,fishing and kicking back with friends and having a drink. There is a lot more to me if you want to know more just ask.

Let me think ... okay, I graduate a few months ago, I have a BS in Engineering. I'm currently working for a private company. Like my job but sometimes it takes a lot from my "free time". I like sports, love football especially 9ers (but not this year cause they suck). Hanging out, going out

Successful. 37-year-old paramedic/officer. I'm African American and Native American" considered handsome,I possess honey brown hazel eyes a defined build a couple of tasteful tattoos and usually wear a goatee. I have many diversified social and cultural interests. More importantly, others judge me to be warm, sensitive, romantic, altruistic and capable of great love and devotion. I'd love to hear from you if you are a highly educated, emotionally mature woman, who is not looking for sex or anything serious.Yes you read right I said if your not looking for sex I'm your man.Allow me to explain I was in long-term relationship with a lady who was for lack of a better word a nympho and to be honest I'm burned out like a piece of burned toast.Lol! So I'm practicing celibacy at this stage in my life until further notice.I know what your thinking why do I have pictures on here showing my body?Good question.The reason is in the line of work I'm in showing a clear shot of my face wouldn't be good. I'm very happy and content being single and I'm not looking for love or a relationship just some cool people to talk to and kick it with on a strictly platonic and non threatening no expectations basis.My hobbies are lifting weights,cooking,shopping,reading,writing,playing guitar and singing.Also I love outdoor activities such as hiking,boating,running,camping and star gazing.Well if your your tired of all the games and lies,insecurities and jealousies that come from men that try to push things to fast to soon without being friends first.

I respect myself and others a great deal. People are the most important part of my life. No amount of money could take the place of anyone I care for. I soothe my soul by surrounding myself with my children, family, friends, & God. I enjoy laughter and like to have fun. My friends think I'm funny, but I just tell the truth.

I am retired and love to travel. Love warm water and warm climates. Have boats will fish. Love the California Delta and bay area. Looking for the one. Having been burned I am somewhat gunshy, thats my baggage. I would love to meet someone to travel to warm climates.

So, its about time i change this, as the old one was written in feburary. Because its holiday time, i must inform you that i am not a fan of christmas. I like the music, sometimes, but mostly the whole season is just depressing.

I just turned 20 in October, and i am currently enrolled in college classes. I am going to become a paramedic. Im looking for someone who i can spend my free time with. Start as a friendship, and hopefully build into a lasting relationship. If your looking for a tall guy, look else where, cause thats definitly not me.

my name is jenni an im 21 years old.i live in merced cali,n expecting my first child on june 13th.me an my boyfriend just broke up after 6 years.cuz hes a piece of shit!

I just want to meet someone for to talk to, and i love drives by the beachs, and sunsets. I work with the homeless, and am a pro life supporter

I'm not your average girl - I can be both bookworm and bar bunny but if you assume I'm exclusively one or the other you'll miss out on what I can offer. I'm looking for a man who isn't afraid of depth, conversation, and thought who wants to go out with an attractive, adventurous woman and still be able to bring his brain along.

FRIENDS
I'm looking for friends. I love to travel and love meeting new people. I want to get out and see things, do things, learn new things. I'd love to go camping with someone, hiking, hang out, explore new food, and any other interest you may have because I have a lot (and some I don't even know about yet).

SEX
Yes, there's more to life then sex. Yes sex can be wonderful in a loving relationship. Yes sex is fun and I don't think there is anything wrong having sex with someone who has a mutual attraction with no strings attached. I respect everyone's position on this. That being said, I do talk nasty and I do talk dirty and make a lot of sexual innuendo... if it bothers you, just say so. When I am in a romantic relationship I am COMPLETELY committed.

LOVE
I'm not looking to jumping right into a romantic relationship, this should grow out of a friendship. Do not try to push me towards it, you'll only be pushing me away from it.

MEN
I like men. Femininity in a man turns me off, and depending on the level it can start to annoy me. It's nothing personal, I just don't like it. I tend to like guys around my age and a lil older. If you're more the 15 years older, you're defiantly not for me.

PICTURES
I have them, you should too otherwise you're not going to get much from me. I understand being discreet and not being out, but if we can't trust each other who can we trust? It took me a couple years before I started to put up pictures of myself so I understand, but I do require at least a face picture on your profile to have anything more then a simple conversation (i.e. meet).

GAY:
Yes I am, no I do not have a flag and I do not advertise. Most of the time (social environments) if asked I say yes. Working environments and family (yes, I still have not gotten that far, although i'm sure some of them just know) I have not come "out". When I'm "with" someone I do not like PDA, I don't walk around holding hands and kissing on my partner. I just don't like it and although I don't think it does, I will admit it may have to do with not being out (or maybe I just haven't found the right person that makes me comferatble to do so).

Well I'm a big kind hearted person who cares about pepoles feelings. I'm the type of person you can put in a room with 50 strangers and by the end of the night I'll be talking and get to know more than a few. I understand that life's to short to not live it to the fullest. I'm very open minded and am willing to try anything! I love sports I'm a huge Football fan, when it's football season it's the best time of year!!!!!

Well here it is im me im into music mainly metal and classic rock but i do tend to let anything play,Im into outdoor kinda things like camping with friends or some one close "perhaps you" I play bass guitar sing write lyrics. Horror and comedy are my favorite types of movies, tatoos, periceings, but thats about it for now.

am an easy going with a good sense of humor and like the simple pleasures in life like going for walks in the evening holding hands the cool of the night air in the spring time. a good adventure going to the mountains, Fishing or hiking. Going out for dinner and dancing or just staying at home watching a good movie. The type of women I would like to meet would be honest have a good sense of humor enjoys family likes to hold hands in public likes to show signs of affection be some what Aggressive who can have fun going to the mountains or ocean or just staying home watching a movie and cooking dinner together

im a girl with nothing to say. if the world was listening to me, i would have absolutely nothing to say.
i like my life i guess. i work and go to school. typical.
i have all my fingers and toes and i am in perfect health condition.
im 5'7" & im not interested in guys shorter than that at all.
my heart was smashed to bits not too long ago so idk why im here but ill give it a shot.

To be honest I'm just trying to have a good time and meet some people. Life is too short to be sitting around not doing anything. I love hanging out and traveling and really having a damn good time. I like to meet people who are interesting, people who challenge my way of thinking. I'm always up for new things and new experiences. I enjoy a good conversation and silly debates. Catch me at the right time and I'll tell you everything.

I'm a bit of a foodie so I really dig discovering cool restaurants and trying out new recipes. I did graduate from culinary school so the recipes always work. I'm probably the last person you'd ever imagine to play Dungeons & Dragons but I do with a great group of friends and I'm also I pretty big fan of playing Rockband.

Love my family and friends
I love to bake
and i love to have fun!
Cotton Candy
Wine
Sephora
Camping
Music
Movies.

I am kind compassionate, i like doing most anything, basically i will try almost anything once, i believe anything can be fun as long as the company is good. I like watching movies and going to the park and swimming with my kids, i like walks on the beach and dancing in the moonlight.

I'm a renaissance woman, interested in the history, present state of being, and future possibilities of everything.

I'm not a very social person, which makes me more of an observer and a thinker. Being a mother has forced me to become more social however. As a single parent, I've done a lot of couch surfing and living with family. I've lived in many places, mostly in the Bay Area, Sacramento, and everywhere in between, and ended up here a few years ago... in the hottest most undesirable place geographically in California: the Central Valley. I'm carrying on the wandering behavior of my twenties into my thirties, and resisting the 40-hour work week.

Simple things make me happy. (Ok, I'll try not to sound cheesy here...) Full moons, great food, beaches, true conversations, laughing, cuddling, being outdoors, playing with my daughter. I'm pretty laid-back and have a good sense of humor. If we can't laugh at the absurdities in life then we will all go insane.

As far as relationships, I'm not actively searching. I'd really just like to connect with people and see what happens. I have to choose "bisexual" with ok cupid, but mostly identify as pansexual. I love people and culture, and mostly attracted to the soul of an individual.

Ok cupid says that I am not friendly, but my personality is really not as serious as it seems... just takes a little effort to navigate. Be aware than I'm a square-peg-in-a-round-hole type. Don't talk to me unless you find this charming :)

Hello, I love the outdoors, fishing, camping and such. But now that I'm older, I spend most of my time sitting home alone. I just watch TV, or a movie as well as mess around on the computer, but that's getting pretty old day after day. I would really like to find a nice lady to spend some time with as we get to know one another. I love the company of a nice woman, though I haven't been with one in any type of relationship in a very long time. Right now I'm just looking for a good friend, not a bed partner.
