any speed dating event??

hi im tired of roaming on dating online sites. Are there any speed dating event anyone know?? where you could meet someone quickly?

I am game!

Who wants to date a cool guy? Email me

Yeah.

Women, stop counting on guys to hit on everything that moves. Its almost a paradox.

Women do not want the guys that try making a move on every girl in the bar. On the other hand they expect all guy's to make a move. Think about it mathematically. The odds on a "good" and "faithful" guy hitting on you are slim to nill. Thats what makes them faithful and good in the first place. They are not out trying to get laid and whatnot. So quit sitting on your damn pedestal bitching about how you can't find a good guy. Be proactive, make a good decision and meet them halfway.

I for one have never randomly approached a girl i just saw at Vini's asking for a number. Most likely because that would put me under the "asshole trying to get laid" category and get me nowhere.

Fresno Dating

I also agree. The woman are ugh and the men are typically not interested in the long term, are cheaters, or are married. Both sides are to be desired. The Fresno Craigslist is mostly for "hooking up" but I do agree on the paid dating sites. I decided to pay for one month on singlesnet.com and found my sweetheart right away (most say it was luck) and we are planning a Valentine's Day wedding. Neither of us are originally from Fresno but both have lived here long enough. I was ready to move out of state if I had to but my love was right here the whole time. Good luck to all!!

Fresno Dating

I agree that - in general - the dating scene is pretty crummy 'round the Fresno area. Native 'Fresnans' tend to be pretty clingy to established social circles. I would suggest using one of the online dating sites, honestly. The http://Fresno.Craigslist.org website is pretty good but tends to be somewhat spammy. You might also check out http://FindFresnoSingles.com - it's pretty new but you can create a profile free.

Otherwise, there's always http://eharmony.com and http://match.com for the pay dating side.

sorta reminds me of some advice I once had...

this really great old illustrator I used to know, 'Hector.'

'...so like, like, Hector, you been around the block a few times,
-what's your feelings about this whole 'ya gotta kiss a lot of frogs before you find a prince thing...'

'...Didn't work with me...'

'no?'

'Nah... she kept kissing, and I just kept getting froggier...'

Here I am Amyk .. where do

Here I am Amyk .. where do you want to go on our first date?

Oh No!

Dont lump "us people" all together. I think many women feel the same about men.
i think the flaky part comes in when someone doesnt find the other as interesting/attractive as they thought they might and instead of just being honest, they flake. this happens everywhere not just Fresno.
i think you just gotta dig for that diamond in the rough and then be prepared to polish her/him til they shine.
there's nothing a little chivalry cant fix!
thats just my opinion but then again, i've been single for 2 years!

I've had the same problem, only with girls...

And when a freak coincidence happens and I actually run into an attractive, interesting girl in Fresno who isn't either,

1. Already taken
2. A yuppie
3. A ghetto person

They turn out to be a total flake.

What is the deal with the people in this town?

Truth?

Golly!

Truth?

The tower is a cool place, but unless you like your men

a) artistic, self-absorbed and broke or
b) gay

Then you might have to find a different spot to fish in.

Avalon is going to have live

Avalon is going to have live Reggae tonight. I don't go very often, but you never know who you can run into on the dance floor... and reggae is always good time music in my book!!!

Well hello, ladies !

Well hello, ladies !

I dont know any good places either, all the pubs I visit downtown have patrons who are already couples or what seems like girls/guys night out..

North End can get even worse

North End can get even worse than you think... a guy can have his eye on you, and his arm around his wife while he is holding his kid... ok, maybe I just have had some bad experiences. I am going to give Falltini a try, it'll be fun even if I just get to tip back a few martinis with my friends.

Perhaps a version of speed-dating on the south end of town is needed. Maybe famous could help with advertising it???

Seriously!

I second that thought! I moved to Fresno four years ago and the dating scene sucks! North end bars are meat markets, a guy has one eye on you and another on the next girl that walks through the door. The Tower is fun but guys don't make a move. What the hell?
