Global soulmate search

Global soulmate search- Grapevine

I recently came across this post by a very popular Instagram page. 

I personally believe love is coincidental, doesn't matter where or how you find it, what matters is you find the one. 

But I'm a hopeless romantic, y'all may share your opinions here.

Finding a soulmate, online?

Hello! 

I am 26y old currently living in Bengaluru, working in startups, fair compensation. I am looking to find a partner for the intention of marrying in around or less than 2 years of time. 
Have used Bumble and Hinge a lot, went to like 30+ dates in past 2 years, dated few girls but nothing serious came out of it - I think it’s the platform’s problem (anyways, there can be a separate debate for this)

There are old platforms like Shaadi.com, jeevansathi and new platform like betterhalf. I am not very sure on how to go about it? 

Can anyone guide me on this???

Where to find a partner for marriage?

Growth Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey)

Few observations:
1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility
2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other.
3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society

So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them.

Though I have my doubts here
1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match?
2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element.
3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in

Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face.

P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing.
Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️

Startup Idea 2: Matrimony Matchmaking

Hi folks, this is an average looking single male in Bangalore, been so long since I talked to a female. Tried bumble, tinder, hinge, got a handsome total of 0 matches. 

How do u deal with it? Any other apps you can suggest?

How to find a partner?

Anyone in pune, looking for mate from queer community?

Looking for a mate

Software Engineer

I don't know whether this is the right platform to post. I find myself in a unique situation where I am seeking for a companionship with a man who identifies as gay but has a straight appearance or someone who is asexual. I'm a techie and I am specifically looking for a partner who is in Bengaluru. It is important to me that this person does not have any plans for biological parenthood, as I am seeking a relationship that allows us to prioritize our individual goals and aspirations. But I'm okay with adoption or surrogacy in case the person wants to have a baby.

I am a confident and independent individual who values authenticity and open communication. I believe that this kind of arrangement can provide both parties with stability and support while allowing us to maintain our personal identities and freedom. Mutual respect and understanding are crucial elements for me in navigating this journey.

If you are a man who aligns with the qualities I am seeking and are interested in exploring the possibility of a companionship, I would be open to connecting and discussing our compatibility further. Let’s embark on this journey together with honesty, understanding, and a shared vision for our individual happiness and fulfilment.Please mail me at truecompanionship24@gmail.com if you want to connect further.

P.S: Straight people please don't judge me, I'm someone who is still in the closet due to some personal reasons.Many women who are lesbians by nature ended up getting married to men due to various reasons, social reason being predominant. I don't want to make anyone's life miserable and don't want to cheat someone so took this decision.

Unusual places to meet your partner

Can be a list too. But Only unmarried men

Unmarried men, what is that you seek in your to-be spouse?

If you could create your own dating app, what unique features would it have?

How many in 30's struggling to find a life partner via matrimony apps,the only available option .... Hit the Like button 😂

Finding partner via matrimony

from a guy's point of view:

1. You will get rejected by girls you want and you will reject the girls who want you, it's an endless cycle. 

2. Caste/religion/job/location/money/face : everything matters.

3. When you start talking to a girl, assume she is already talking to 5 guys at least, that's how it works.

4. All the things you want in a person, will start vanishing with each person you talk to, so don't be rigid. You don't know what you want, it will keep changing.

5. People are going to lie about their age/salary/past etc, do your due diligence properly. They are going to pretend to be someone they are not.

6. Be ready for rejections and getting ghosted, hearing absurd rejection reasons.

7. They like to keep their options open, you are not their first priority, sooner you find that out the better or you need to put efforts to become their first priority. 

8. Keep your expectations to a minimum, otherwise it will become the reason behind your frustrations.

9. Don't be desperate. Keep your attention to a limit, if you gave too much, then you would come off as desperate and not likeable.

How to deal with it?
1. It is what it is.
2. If it didn't work, it wasn't meant to be.
3. No effort is a sign of no interest, stay away from such people. They are putting effort for someone else.

If you have someone in your life, keep them close, put in efforts, don't come to matrimony apps.

To all single grapeviners, how and where are you searching for life partners? 

To all committed/married folks, how and where did you find your life partner? 

I tried the AM route, but so far no such luck and really exhaustive. 

Thinking of going for a relationship manager in shaadi, but not sure. Anyone had any luck with the vip/elite services?

Me: I am a 28M, living in Bangalore, doing well career-wise.

Where to search for life partners?

I'm at that age where is tremendous pressure to get married. Can't even put in words the kind of torture I go through every day. I'm a woman. I have met people mostly through AM set up. I didn't click with anyone. I don't have faith that I'll be anyone compatible through AM route. Tried dating app, quickly realised it's not for me, the compatibility is even worse there. I go to events and such, didn't really meet anyone. Idk if it's just the Kannada culture, everyone is just so shy! I enjoy being by myself but would prefer being with a partner. I realise the importance of having a companion. At the same time, I also don't want to just get married to someone for the sake of it. 

So Bengalurians, especially Kannadigas, where did you meet your partner/SO/spouse? 

What is something I should be doing that I'm not doing?

On the work front, I'm doing quite well. Looks wise too, I don't think I'm ugly.

Bangalore folks, and particularly Kannadigas, where did you find your partner?

Medical Expert

Not a Ctrl {C+V}

I never used the Blind app to say, "People connected to each other over a thread and planned to meet outside the app, calling it a Blind date". Not giving any shit about that app.

Why don't we start it here again? - NCR people are no less

Let's see if we can beat bumble and shaadi.com - No need to beat the shit, just date

Just enough to drop your details in this format.
(Gender: M/F) | (Age) | (Location) | (One liner bio that won't disclose your identity)

Example:
M | 29 | Gurgaon | I like this, not that



P.S: I am not taking any ownership for anything happening under this post, I am not a matchmaker. All the best!

Changed the title from Blind Date to Wine Date, cheers to Grapevine ;)

Wine Date series: NCR edition

Do people actually find spouses through this shit??

I mean there is fear of so many things, what if we both don't match the vibe, what if he is not supportive, i mean how should a women take decision?

How to find a partner in arrange marriage set up ?

System Engineer

Saw an acquaintance using bumble. The men in  profiles literally look highly successful, From IIT, IIM, NIFT , Founder and what not.

It was really raining overqualified guys on the platform.

Felt like real waste for the first time and thought that hot shot guys like them couldnt land a date, a commoner is out of question.

What do you all say guys ???? That platform instantly makes me introspect where I failed in life.

Ridiculous standards in dating apps.

Ok guys, I am fed up with Bumble, jeevansathi and the sorts.

I do get decent amount of acceptances and right swipes but the one’s who I end up liking want to have ONS or casual dating and the ones who want to take things to next level, I am not that interested. 

What should I do? I am serious about settling down. 

Where do I meet women who are great human beings, kind, successful and want to settle down :)

Need a wife!

Associate director

Searching for my lobster since fckin 5yrs and no results!

-Tried through contacts, turned down
- Shaadi/Jeevansathi : No one is serious and the more options I get the more end up confused. Likewise for the other side.

Although in online I get plethora of options,I end up wasting time and money.

95% of the matches are doing window shopping.

This is way way harder then getting into FAANG.

Some stats of me:

Height:6'2
Age:33
Diet: Vegetarian/Teetotaler

Btw feel free to reach out to me here also  😂

Betterhalf search

I have been online on a lot of sites (shaadi.com, Bharatmatrimony etc) for 2 years now but it’s been really hard to get a guy.

There have not been many expectations, just a decently well educated guy who can talk with respect to ladies (I find it really hard to get guys of the latter, on these sites)

Those who were successful in arranged marriage, how did you do it? Any tips please. Should I pay some matchmakers? Suggestions are welcome.
