How To Have The Perfect Matrimonial Profile- FOR MEN....


Are you a 30 year old guy with no luck in the girlfriend department? Are you the father of a son who is an IIT product, earns a few lakhs per month and is eligible for marriage at 26? Are you a 29 year old man who has banged a dozen chicks, is currently dating 3 girls in a single slot but still wants to marry a virgin girl your mother chooses? Or are you an 18 year old boy who is looking for true love in a way that is approved by the Indian society? Whoever you are, matrimonial website is your answer.

Making a profile on a matrimonial website is an art. As someone who has adequate experience in this field, I know what it takes to be noticed. Women have it easy since all they require is a good display picture and a bio that reads “Traditional but with a modern approach”. A little assistance from the family photographer who swiftly clicks a picture of her with a tilted head and hands resting on a fake midget pillar stone, she is ready to conquer the matrimonial website. But for you my dear men, it is not that easy. You need to flash your goodness and awesomeness shamelessly to lure the citizens of the kingdom of muliebrity. You need a profile that makes a woman skip a heartbeat when she receives the Interest request sent by you. You need to be the lion, standing out from a pack of unshaven babies.

A matrimonial profile can be divided into two parts- Personal information and Partner preference.  Personal Information is that worm on the hook which will help you catch a good looking fish. You need to brazenly parade your goodness and masculinity like the birds of paradise. Being a girl who has been enlisted in one of the premium matrimonial sites by her beautiful parents, I do receive a few interest requests every now and then. Some of them indeed caught my interest and I am pasting a few screen shots of their ‘Personal Information’ for your perusal.








Next,  you need to provide details regarding your partner preference. Imagine yourself as a clueless prince in any Disney movie, who is riding his horse aimlessly through forests, searching for his one true love. What would you want your perfect partner to be like? Yet again for your benefit I am pasting a few screenshots of some of the gorgeous proposals that I received. Follow their suit.





It kills me that I couldn’t match up to their partner preference. It kills me that I am not perfect enough. It kills me that my horoscope matches only 50% with theirs. We could have worked it out but the Kundli came in the way. Sigh! May be the next hero will be my Knight in cream lungi.

So my gorgeous men, I hope this helped you. I hope that after reading this you go and register yourself on the matrimonial website that your community believes in. Throw in a few bucks to get your profile highlighted in blue because trust me no one wants to miss a catch like you.

Ok enough of this tomfoolery. In all frankness, being a part of matrimonial websites is crushing down my pride. Self love is diminishing and I am questioning my worth. When you receive such genius proposals, you begin to doubt if you deserve any better. Relatives call it high expectations and the society keeps reminding you how you are a rotting mango at 24. Frankly, I pity my parents. Being part of a society that casts a moral and strict duty on the parents to find a soul mate for their kids is something that I find weird on a personal basis. Being a malayalee is even worse. The moment I hit puberty, my father started investing on gold while my mother kept her Provident Fund untouched for her daughter’s marriage that will happen in a future that isn’t anywhere close.

Dear Mom and Dad, it is not your duty to get me married. It was your duty to raise me and you did it really well. Retire, take your PF and go on a world tour or buy a summer house in Malibu. You truly deserve it. Now, let us talk about the gold that you have collected to gold plate me on my wedding. Well, you can still give it to me. I am not rude to say no to such generosity. Why make marriage a condition prerequisite? Just saying.

P.S- I am not against matrimonial websites. Many found love through it. I am just talking for myself here. :)

  1. Hahaaha :D Red, I was a prey to these ads as well some years back! Some of the partner preferences are downright amusing and hilarious. But what I hated was those uncle types who seemed to love my profile more! The process can be tiring. But in the end, you get to read some interesting things, which kind of makes it worthwhile. For the laughs.

      I so hate the uncle types too. They send me request with the 'I THINK WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON'
      Yeah right!!!!

    2. Hahahahhahha... Damn gud RH... I really loved it... And yes, these Uncle types are the most irritating ones... Matrimony profile says their age is 32/34... but they actually look 52/54.. And the most irritating is, they claiming that our profile suits them the best...Arrrrggghhh... And, OMG... when do parents realize that we aren't finding soulmates, but just mates!!! Its purely a forced love..

  7. hahahah...well I was contemplating writing about matrimonial sites for the past few weeks but ofcourse not in the brilliant way that you did... But yes some profiles do make me question the basis of 'marriage' as highlighted by our 'cultured' society..and trust me it there in all communities in India..sad part is the parents take all the tension and the girl whose profile is on the matrimonial site questions her worth..

  11. Haha, too funny :)
    I spent a long time looking through matrimonial websites while my parents were trying to find suitable match for my younger sister. As the computer in my home is most often under my control, the responsibility of surfing through the matrimonial websites and the proposals received from there were my responsibility too. And I can tell you, my sister and I had a lot of fun going through various profiles :D

  15. Well, for one if I ever go into someone's profile, I need good English. Doesn't have to be exquisite, but worthy! I'm sure you know what I mean :P .. I recently came across a partner preference which read- Want thin white girl like milk. And I thought let's just paint the face white. And the guy's complexion mentioned was Dark. I don't know if it's a boost to his alter ego, or he wants to make zebras.

    You know you're worthy of much more. You din't have to listen to people that think otherwise. You'll find Mr. Right eventually :)

    1. I so know what u mean sister!! Decent english is not much to ask.or atleast dont send me an interest request titled 'I feel we have a lot in common' . Too much it is becoming. And zebras? hahahahahahahaahahahahahha

  17. hahahahahahahahha.... you speak my heart sister! Not a SINGLE profile on these matrimonial website would make you even consider getting married. Forget arranged marriage, I have lost faith in loooove marriage too - looking at all the expectations and quality of people in the marriage 'market' !

    Here are a few from bong matrimony that i had shared with my friends-
    "My ideal partner will be someone who is confident, someone who believes in family values and understands the importance of family. Who has the spirit to hold my hands always but still follow her own dreams. Materialistic desires should be undesirable for her."

    "I am looking forward to adding caring woman who adds love to my life. I live now in the germany but travel very often to India where i belong. I am spiritual and believe in the Law of Attraction, and staying positive. Interests include travelling, sports, fitness and reading. I am quite open to all conversations, easy to manipulate, mostly polite unless provoked.. Stress and tension are my biggest enemies. I admire affordable stylish life."

    These matrimonial websites are HILLLLLARIOUS..but it gets boring and annoying after the first few :-|

  21. This was absolutely hilarious! But I know how very true this experience is. I was responsible for finding a suitable partner for my sister because unlike me she chose to go the traditional way. Some of the proposals that showed interest in her profile were similar and extremely annoying. Only I know how difficult it was for me to reject them without sounding rude.

    I sincerely wish you find your prince charming without the help of these stupid profiles. :-)

  33. Woman, I have been wanting to do this post since so long. Just like you, I am forced to be on such a website and even have pasted such 'gems' for doing a post. But the only reason I haven't published this post is for the fear of my mother who if comes to know that I have dared to talk all this on my blog can go to any lengths to get the post removed for such post shall harm her daughter's possibility of finding a suitable dulha.. Everytime I open such a site forced by mother dearest, I cringe from the bottom of my heart. Cringe would be an understatement here. My blood literally boils. And as you say, if 24 is rotten, 28 should be worse! Sigh. Just when, just when shall parents stop doing this cruelty to their children.

Atleast after looking at their profile, you can judge how well the boy or his parents can write in English :P After a point, my parents stopped looking at kundali altogether, unless the boy's side insisted.

  37. now that was social issue you addressed so well !
    and for last para if you ever get time read kahlil Gibran Poem on Children (He addressed the same mentality so philosophically ) a few line

    Your children are not your children.
    They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
    They come through you but not from you,
    And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
    For they have their own thoughts.
    You may house their bodies but not their souls,
    For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
    which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
    You may strive to be like them,
    but seek not to make them like you.
    For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

  63. OMG………….Laughter riot :D
    Red, I’m sorry to say, you’re matchless :D :D :D ;)
    Be practicle, girl :P How will you learn that, unless you take a course in human intercourse ? :P
    And you must learn to play chrecut. Without a powercut.
    If nothing else works, try being a 98Kgs slim fiend.
    If you do all this, you’ll be a good person from the bottom with thick mind and softness guaranteed :D
    Ideaaaa……. That guy who donates his salary to kids to see their happiness…ask him to donate it to you!
    You’re a sweet kid, muaah :)
    Ufff…..main bhi na, kabhi nahi sudhroongi :D

    I’ve never had a matrimony profile, so never had to bother much about these things, but I understand how troublesome this can be. 24 is just the age, lady :) May be the beginning of many new beginnings ;)
    Parents……..well, their genes babe….can’t do much about that na :)
    Enjoy the laughter, till Prince Charming comes riding on his horse, his cream lungi flying behind him :D

    My Lord, don't hate the sinner, hate the sin instead. The fault is not in these men or women, but their stars, blame it on their stars, why slander matrimonial sites? They're just milking the holy cow of matrimony?

    I started to wonder how would a person look beautiful from bottom? But then I saw it, I mean, I realized that I have friends who identify their crushes from behind only.

  72. Can I just take a moment and point out my favourites?
    1. Human Intercourse
    2. Intalegand
    3. A good person from the bottom

    Personally, I am neutral towards matrimonial websites. What I am against is the concept of arranged marriage (pretty sure you have written a post about it somewhere in the past). Stranger - Danger is suddenly transformed into Stranger - Angel by virtue of being flanked by his/her parents on both sides.

    Anyway, on a serious note, please don't feel bogged down just because you get such "genius" proposals. I haven't met you and I don't know you, but the glimpse into your real self that I get via your blog posts, tells me that you are one of the sassiest and kick-assiest persons around and nothing short of similar sassiness and kick-assiness is what you deserve. Nor should you settle for it. Till the fated time comes, you and I shall continue riding our horses through the enchanted forest but would rather wait for a prince and not the first ogre in sight. Unless that ogre is shrek.

  74. English is ridiculously appalling! Description. hard and hunter? What on earth am I reading? Yeah, he is hard and hunting.

    Looking for human intercourse? Jeez. That's desperate, and his hormones have gone haywire!

    Pretty slim. His definition of slim is probably an Indian dude, with a huge hairy belly is entitled to walk for Manish Malhotra's Men Wear. 98 sounds bhagvas to me!

    Income is the only criteria, as if women are walking ATM machines!

    I almost died reading thick mind, he meant NOT narrow minded. You got my laughing gas on woman! Crap, this is so funny! ahahahahahhaah!

  77. I am 30 and not married. Stumbled upon scores of such profiles and have met people as well, who exhibited equal brain haemorrhage characteristics. It's hilarious to begin with, the initial months/years. Damn irritating after a couple of yaears. Though let's not get gender specific, some women folk have such excellent articulation skills, woah, it blows our mind+eyes away!

    Met this guy once along with my parents. The guy spoke of how his sister's marriage didn't survive. The only faux-pas my dad committed was to ask, "that's sad, what happened?"

    In the guys words, "the was impotent, next time onwards we will check for it"! Pin drop awkward silence between my parents and me and we look at different directions. The guy was oblivious to it of-course. @facepalm: people say anything these days!

  78. This is funny... ridiculous and yet true!
    I wonder why marriage should be imposed on you...
    And these matrimony sites makes me feel like we are a product that is advertised in the site...

  79. I suppose you are one of the bloggers highlighted on Priyanka Victor's blog and I feel so stupid to not have hit on your name and checked out your blog!!! This has to be funniest post I have ever read on any of the blogs and I seriously have seen the kind of enthusiasm that builds up in parents when they sign up on matrimonial sites..God!! its like that was their childhood dream to sign up on matrimonial site and make their kid look like an on-sale object...anyways Cheers and keep posting!!!

  80. After days of abstinence from the blog world, I check your blog first and unsurprisingly it is at its entertaining best as always!
    Thank you for making me laugh, Red.

    It sure brought some sunshine on a gloomy day like this where my 14 year old cousin who I met after ages asked me as to why I am not married yet despite having finished my graduation four years ago especially that I have been working all the time. Yes, as outrageous as it did sound, I forgave him owing to the fact that he's lived in a remote village all his young life. My explanations of being an independent woman and that I have an entire world to see before I decide to settle down is lost even on my educated parents so I really can't expect this kid to understand. Hence I muttered the mantra of inner peace and let it go.

    But, I should give it to you Red, for having the courage to go through the lands of *substitute an appropriate word* that matrimonial websites are. Bravo!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I've seen my fair share of hilarious matrimony profiles, and it never gets old. In the end I didn't have to make a choice from the profiles I found there. But I still browse through the profiles, sometime with my wife, just to have a laugh.

    The strangest thing though is I look at my own 'About Me' that I had written a couple years ago and I cringe! In my mind it doesn't feel like I have changed much since I wrote that but to read it now, it's like I was from another planet 3 years ago! I don't know how that works.

    I'm saying this because, bad language skills aside, it is pretty hard to get the faintest of ideas of who someone is through an online profile, however detailed his/her summary is, much less a character profile. As cliched as this sounds (and as cliched as saying "as cliched as this sounds" is), I would recommend you do reach back out to one/some of these requests to have an actual conversation despite the things that seemingly appear to be mismatches between you and the stranger. No harm can come, but you do stand to gain a dream partner.

    Nice post though, made my Monday a tad bearable!

  87. this is why people are on matrimonial sites.
    girls look for ATM machines and boys look for supermodels. because of these kind of expectations fake profiles exist.

  88. Whoooo hoooooooooo What a wonderful post :-) .You have stolen my heart Red dil kush kar diya . These kinds of matrimonial are useless as you would find many boys wanting Supermodel looking girls and girls too wanting fat account walas but it very interesting to read their profiles .Some of them write as if they are heroes out from some movie .what will the simple people who have simple desires do will they be able proper soul mates or.... just curious to know

  89. I am not sure if my comment will be lost in the melee but here goes...'human intercourse' was, by far, the best one! He he he! I am a Punjabi married to a Mallu and I really feel bad about all the gold brides' parents put together for daughters who are earning well and have MBAs. My husband's cousins all went the traditional way and now all their gold is rotting in the bank lockers.

    Great posts! Keep up the good work! :)
