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.
