Common Mistakes in Online Matrimonial Profiles
| Following are some examples of common mistakes in matrimonial profiles. Matrimonial profiles are very competitive-and if you come across as boring, negative or disorganized, your ad will likely be skipped over and you will not get any good responses to it. |
Disorganized and incoherent profiles. People usually jump from one topic to another in their matrimony ad. It is important that all information about you and the kind of person you are looking for be well-arranged, organized and presented in a coherent fashion.
No details about family. Your family is an important part of your life, and people who would like to get to know you more are very interested in knowing more about them. Talking a little about your family also gives the profile a more human, genuine look.
Boasting about oneself in the ad People try to paint themselves as talented or as good-looking as Aamir Khan or Aishwarya Rai. A good profile must talk about about you as you are realistically to avoid disappointment when you actually meet the other person in the future.
Incessant rambling about ones favorite TV show, cricket star, or your dog... Would you REALLY choose a partner based on whether someone likes the movie show you like or likes your dog??? Matrimonial profiles should talk about things which are relevant and important in making the decision of choosing a life partner.
Writing some poetry or famous movie lines in your ad. Poetry and famous movie lines are not easy reads, and must be avoided in your matrimony profile.
Personal adjectives like "I am funny, creative, intelligent..." Very few people think they are not, this is very subjective (in a popular survey, 80% people said that they have an IQ above average!). Avoid using personal adjectives in your ad. Define yourself concretely-better to say I am a a software engineer, I write novels, or I am a cardiologist than I am creative or intelligent.
Spelling and grammar mistakes Matrimony profile often have egregious spelling and grammar mistakes. The reasons can be A) hastiness in writing the profile B) not taking online matrimony seriously. Profiles with spelling and grammar mistakes are a major problem (study done by Match.com, a major international dating/matchmaking site).
