Trying my luck on these matrimonial websites

I initially came across these classifieds the day I started reading the Gulf Times newspaper about more than two years ago, then from reading Times of India, and now after sharing the idea from a person who occasionally looks at their local national newspaper website on their coffee mornings.

Let's just say that we don't have these type of 'cultural norm' back home and made me curious how it works. Oftentimes in one newspaper or website that contains such classifieds they indicate whether you prefer a lady or a man of the same caste or language or profession or religion or salary income even just about his/her diet or hobbies. Well it's nice to know that I've seen plenty of successful couples (well the website says it, wonder if it's true or not) who've met their match through these.

I know I've seen some similarities of these types of classifieds in some American tabloids or several other countries' websites and I doubt it's a cultural norm for them, but here on one certain country (or maybe I'm seeing too much of these lately on explorations of different cultures) it looks common enough that you may suddenly realize it must be a norm to them or so. And if it is, I welcome it...but I hope people of their country who 'utilizes' these classified matrimonials really do succeed in terms of love or family living.

The problem I had with it now is that the classifieds doesn't somehow 'allow' a non-national like me to post or add my, err, 'curriculum vitae' so that I can find my match over there. Hey! It doesn't say whether it's not preferable to have weddings of mixed races, but why not? :-)

Or maybe I was just this desperate to find a girl these days that I suddenly ended up trying this one up for grabs. LOL

There's nothing wrong with getting a helping hand to find someone. It's just like going on a blind date :-)

Rules are a guideline for intelligent people, but they must be adhered to by idiots.
