Creating a Good Matrimonial Profile on ShaadiKaro.com

For the amount of people that are posting their matrimonial profiles on ShaadiKaro.com everyday, there are thousands who are looking at the profiles too! By creating an impressive profile for yourself, you get to reach these thousands of people, who are out there, seeking their potential life partners and matching your requirements. What is important for you therefore is to make sure that despite being surrounded by millions of other matrimonial profiles, you can make sure that people notice you. We have some useful tips to get you started:

On any matrimonial matchmaking website, browsing through search results is like being in a room full of potential mates; with so many to choose from, you have to depend on first impressions. The whole purpose of posting your details on a matrimonial website is to draw someone's attention and make them want to learn more about you; Because no matter how good or smart or eloquent you might be in your personal life, no one would get to discover it until they happen to browse your profile. This should not, however, make you extra-conscious or over-judgemental about yourself; Just be open and honest. You could seek a friend's help to write your profile, and have another friend read it afterwards. Keep the following tips in mind to help you create a winning profile:

Avoid beating around the bush by complaining about how difficult it is to write about yourself or find a quality mate, as an introductory remark to your profile; everyone has to do just that. Instead, get straight to the point, right into describing yourself in plain, simple words.

Each one of us has something 'exclusive' about ourselves that makes us 'unique' and 'different' from others. Write about your hobbies, areas of interest, work, travels or other pursuits-whatever it is that makes you special and that will appeal all those browsing your profile. While you write, think about your ideal match, and write as though you were talking specifically to that person.

While interacting on the Internet, many a times, people tend to forget or choose to ignore the element of 'realism' and write or talk things which they either fancy doing themselves or simply like, with the sole purpose of impressing others. Some people engaged in casual flirting might get away with it, since they do not intend to meet that person in the real world and do not have the fear of being exposed. But, when you are visiting a website with the purpose of finding your life partner, such an attitude will prove detrimental. Remember that the person(s) browsing through your profile will assume everything you write to be true; And once you decide to meet him/her offline, you don't want them to get disillusioned with you or put an end to a potential relationship at a decisive point. Be honest. Seek pride in yourself. Let others choose you for what you are, rather than what you are not.

How many times have you come across profiles that try to impress others by using heavy, ornamental words-words that are jargons, used in the wrong context or are misspelled? Or maybe you've come across profiles that are vague, meagre and say too little, leaving you wondering why anyone would want to contact this person? Instead of making a positive impact, such tactics might ruin the impression. Your profile should neither be too long and verbosive nor too short and superficial. It should be clear and simple and just enough to get your message across. Use words that you use while conversing with people normally and which come out of your mouth naturally. Remember-simplicity is a great virtue in itself!

Don't be shy or apprehensive about mentioning what you're looking out for in your potential match. Talk about the qualities that you consider important in a relationship, be it commitment, fidelity, mental compatibility, physical appearance, intelligence, love, romance, honesty, ability to communicate and listen or a good sense of humour. Reflect some thoughts on why you think the specific quality (ies) is/are of importance to you and to what extent they matter to you in your choice of a life partner.

To the people reading your profile, your profile is like a peephole to your persona and gives them an idea about what to expect from you in an offline communication; Each word mentioned in your profile serves as a measure for your personality, your breeding and your ability to communicate. No matter how unfair it might seem, profiles with spelling mistakes or incomplete sentences can make people judge you as being uneducated or illiterate. Take a few extra minutes to check your spelling. Try writing your profile in a word file; running spell check, making corrections and copying the final text into your profile.

Our experiences tell us that profiles with photographs are ten times more likely to generate responses from other members than the best written profiles without photographs? Just like your profile, the choice of the right photograph to be posted along with your profile is important. Here are a few tips to guide you with posting your photograph:

Don't post a photograph that is three years old or one in which you have long, wavy hair when you have chopped them recently for a short, mushroom cut. Similarly, don't choose a clean-shaven photo if you've just grown a french beard, or the one in which you look slimmer than you know you actually are. Last but not the least; don't use anyone else's photo instead of your own to cast a fake impression. Remember, sooner or later you'll have to face the reality and justify the image you presented, so better make sure the 'you' in the photo is the 'you' in real life!

When the profile you've posted belongs exclusively to you, a group picture doesn't make much sense to be attached to it. The person viewing your profile is interested in knowing what you look like and not who your friends or family are! Paste a recent, solo picture of yours, which compliments your profile and makes the 'right' first impression.

Photographs of you standing on a distant hilltop, by the waterfall or driving a vehicle by the countryside might present a beautiful backdrop but they steal away the focus from you. Keep in mind that your matches are interested in seeing your face closely; It is important for them to be able to attach a face to the words in your profile. A face they will always carry in their mind whenever they think of you or read your mails.

Do not post any photograph just for the sake of it. It might work just the other way round! Choose a good, clear, recent close-up as your main photo; In addition, you can post full body, outdoor pictures of yours. Make sure the photo is properly cleaned & well-cropped and doesn't chop away the top portion leaving your matches wrecking their brains over the kind of head that body would have had!

A smiling face does not only add a glow to your personality, it also reflects the positive aspect of you and casts a positive impression on the person glancing at it. Do not post a picture that makes you look like an overly serious philosopher or grumpy person. Haven't you heard the phrase, "million dollar smile?"
