Marriage Profiling

In this era of Globalization 3.0, I never gave a serious thought on how well can online dating sites can be worth. Take for example, "shaadi.com" technically was started off by an Indian company and as of now they claim to have thousands of entries in their database which includes people with an international flair to a reasonable extent. My first impression was as how a Chinese salesman would proclaim in one of the Russel Peter's standup comedy - Noooooooooooooo.

Looking for girls online seemed different. I just didn't get it, the world is getting flat (quote from Tom Friedman). If more and more people start using the web power, why cant marriage be taken to this level. Moreover, if I dont find a girl soon enough, I would probably land up doing an arranged marriage too. Big deal - uh!

I never had a first hand experience with anyone who would probably share the same feelings until today. I came across a Romanian colleague of mine who told me that he will be off on a 2 week vacation to Jamaica for his honeymoon. Cool! I congratulated him and casually we started talking about marriages and women in general. I learnt that they dated for over 2 years now and it all started with one of these regular marriage portals. I just couldnt beleive it!!! Do people seriously take these web sites? Are people getting more and more tech savvy? Or is it really G 3.0?

There is only one question guys. Am I right?
