Online matrimony
is now one of the most trusted sources of matrimony. The
term is quite familiar to all those who are in a marriageable
age. These days, various matrimonial websites are helping
individuals make the right choice of a life partner.
Till a few years ago, it was mainly parents or grandparents or
the local matrimonial channel (relatives and advisers) that
searched for the perfect match for their children. However, this
is not the case now. Today, the prospective bride and bride
register themselves on various online matrimonial sites or their
parents register their child's profile online for searching a
right partner for them. These sites provide choices in all areas
like religion, caste, community, location etc.
Matrimonial websites boast of a plethora of profiles and to make
your profile stand out from millions of profile, you should make
an interesting profile.
Let's look at the most important things that you should consider
while creating a good online matrimonial profile. If you are
searching for a bride or a groom online, just signing up on
online matrimonial sites is not enough. Registering yourself
online is the first step but to make your profile look more
attractive, you should add a few more details. When you create
your online matrimonial profile or bio-data, do consider the
following aspects. Don't forget that marriage happens once in a
life-time, so present yourself at your best.
1. Put your recent photo - For creating an impressive matrimonial
profile, photo is the most important aspect. Many people are shy
and are hesitant about putting their details or photo online. But
the fact is that when there are lakhs of profiles with photos, it
is important for you as well to put picture as it will help you
in gaining a better response. Photo increases responses by almost
10-15%. Do consider following things while putting your photo on
a
matrimonial
website.
Get your picture clicked by a professional photographer -
Always put a picture which has been clicked by a
professional photographer. There should not be any
compromise when it comes to the way you look in the photo.
Only a good photographer can capture you in the best way.
Wear proper clothes - While getting your picture
clicked make sure that you wearing proper clothes.
You should not be wearing something very
conservative and also you should not over dress
yourself.
Pose perfectly - The way you pose
yourself in the picture will represent a
lot about your personality. So, make sure
you pose yourself confidently.
Clothes for boys - Boys should
prefer wearing shirt and pant or
t-shirt and jeans. Nothing special
or extraordinary should be worn
as you should not look overdressed for a
picture.
Clothes for girls - Girls
should prefer wearing
salwar-suit, regular saree or
a casual top and jeans. This way they would make them
look simple yet beautiful.
2. Always provide
complete information - Make sure
that you put complete
information about yourself.
It helps other members in
understanding you, your
thoughts, family etc. Some
people feel that
specifying everything in
the paragraph is good enough,
but it's not.
For instance, people tend
to ignore questions like
`Are you a Manglik?' If
you are manglik, do select
the `I am Manglik' option.
Similarly, when asked
about caste or martial status,
reply to it meticulously.
Use every specified section
to describe about yourself,
your family, education,
profession, aspirations and
expectations your desired
partner profile. This way, you
will have a better chance to
meet your prospective match.
3. Do write about
yourself - Just give brief
information but adequate
information about yourself in
the `about yourself' section.
Lengthy description can
make your profile looking
boring. For instance, if
you are an MBA, simply mention
that, do not write about
grades or passing year etc,
all that can be talked later.
Simply write about your
professional and
educational background.
Also, give a brief
description about your family
background - mention how many
siblings you have and the
profession of your parents.
Besides that, it is
important to talk about the
kind of life partner you are
looking for, so don't
forget to mention that. In
the end, do a spelling and
grammar check.
5. Visit the website and
login regularly - Just creating a profile on
matrimony
site is not enough,
you should also login to
the site regularly and express
interest in members that
satisfy your criteria. Be
proactive in your search.
