The profile that gets a real reply
Most profiles are a CV with a photo. The ones that work read like a person, not a résumé.
Say what you actually want
One paragraph on the kind of partnership you are looking for is worth more than a list of adjectives. "Someone who wants to live in Pune and keep working after marriage" is specific and filters honestly. "Understanding and broad-minded" filters nothing.
Photographs
- One clear, recent face photograph, well lit, no filter.
- One full-length photograph, because height is a stated field and people check.
- A photograph from ordinary life rather than only a wedding or a studio.
- Recent upload dates shown, so nobody has to guess the year.
The details families ask about first
Education, occupation, city, family structure, languages and dietary preferences. Fill these accurately even if a field feels intrusive, because an omission here surfaces in the first phone call and wastes everyone's time.
What to leave out
Exact salary figures, workplace address, identity document images and your children's school. None of these belong on a public-facing profile, and none are needed before a conversation.
Questions people ask
How long should the description be?
Two short paragraphs. Long enough to show a voice, short enough to read on a phone.
Should I mention my salary?
State a range if you are comfortable, or leave it for the conversation. Never publish exact figures or payslips on a profile.
