What should I enter in the profile description field?
Your profile description is where you reveal yourself - your personality, your likes and dislikes, your educational and family background, career and personal interests, and expectations about your partner. Try to give a clear self-description and a complete picture of what you expect. A good description will always fetch instant responses. Look at the sample profiles below, which are clear, brief and have all the important details in a well-organised manner.
Can I view sample profiles?
I am a friendly, fun-loving person. I have a pleasing personality. I hold a bachelors degree in Dental Surgery. I am working as an associate doctor in a private clinic for the past 3 years in Chennai. My hobbies are listening to music (any kind of music, whichever is soothing) and travelling.
We have an open-minded, religious family. Father is a retired Asst. Engineer from U.P state government and mother is a simple, loving and caring housewife. I have two brothers, both elder and married. The first is an Engineer in Indian Air Force and the second is employed in a reputed glass factory.
My ideal partner will be someone who is intelligent, caring, broad-minded and has a good sense of humour. I believe that love, trust, understanding and commitment are the four pillars of any relation and this is what I am looking for in my partner.

Here are the Do's and Don'ts while creating your profile to give members the best portrayal of yourself.
Do's
While creating a matrimonial profile, give brief information about yourself in the profile description part. Try your best to touch upon various aspects of your life like:
Your personality (what kind of a person you are, your likes and dislikes).
Your educational and professional background including your achievements.
Your family (how many members, family values - conservative or modern).
Your career plans.
Your expectations from your soul mate.
Add a recent photograph to improve chances of getting responses.
Our repeated suggestion: Profiles with photos have 10 times better chances of getting proposals.
Don'ts
Please do not give a lengthy description. Try to keep your description short and complete and do not get into the minutest details.
Please do not try to display your contact details in your matrimonial profile, except in the space provided for contact details.
Do not include content that is vulgar or racist.
Also see our terms of use/service agreement for more details of what type of content is prohibited on https://www.garvithamatrimony.com
Not conforming to any of the above can lead to your profile being rejected.
