How does eMatchmaker™ match my profile with other members' profiles?
To illustrate how eMatchmaker™ works lets see an example:
- Geeta is a 22 year old Hindu working girl, slim and fair. She is looking for a 25 year old Hindu boy, working as a computer professional in the USA.
- Sunil is 25 year old, Hindu, and a computer professional in USA. He is looking for a 22 year old Hindu working girl who is slim and fair.
- Thus, there is potential compatibility between Geeta and Sunil i.e. a two-way eMatch has occurred!
The eMatchmaker™ works automatically once you have set up your profile and partner profile. For the eMatchmaker™ service to work effectively, you must include as many details as possible in your personal profile and also specify a partner profile.

Why am I not getting many messages and/or matches?
There can be many reasons why you are not receiving many responses. It is possible that your Personal Matrimonials Profile does not match the member's matrimonial requirements specified in his/her Partner Profile. Also, perhaps the member may be more interested in other partners at this time. It is also a good idea to check what the member is looking for in his/her partner, before expressing interest in the member. Also, don't forget to fill in more information about yourself before you express interest. It encourages people to accept your interests expressed.

Why am I receiving messages and/or matches from members whose profiles don't match my preferences?
The most likely reason could be that the partner profile that you have created is too vague or is not specific. To receive more suitable matches and contacts make your partner profile more specific to your preferences.
