Matrimonial sites awkward stories

Here's my senior's story:

Guy had done his masters, earning really well (7 yoe, nearly 1 CrPA package), matched with a girl. They met like 3-4 times and when we thought everything is going well. She even proposed him with a small poem after one of their dates. Next day, got a rejection from her father.

The reason? He did a diploma instead of the usual +2 before doing B. Tech.

My cousins opened my matrimonial profile to tease me but I started enjoying it. One of the matches wanted to talk with my father and needed my Kundali. My father was very skeptical and repeatedly confirmed if I indeed wanted to send. I got annoyed and asked him of why is he being paranoid.

That was the day I learnt I was a Maangalik.

Fast forward 1 month, most of my matches got Covid during the 2nd wave.

Once I got in touch with a girl from same place where I work, when I shared with her that she got angry because I did not approached her in office for proposal and we are meeting on matrimonial site.

Before making contact on matrimonial site I was not in touch with her and never had encounters in office and after breaking up on matrimonial site somehow I started encountering her a lot and used to get angry stares from her 😂😂😂😂😂

I asked what is expectation and she said own house in Bengaluru. I said we have it in hometown and not comfortable buying in Bengaluru . Blocked me😅

I had a similar story with my sibling. We were looking for a groom on a matrimonial site and matched with a few people and saw that baldness is actually a widespread thing. While I understand that baldness brings in a lot of shame and mental suffering for the person going through it, it is always better to talk about these things upfront especially in the case of marriages. The most horrible case was when one of the guys and his parents were trying to hide vitiligo. The guy had vitiligo and they didn't feel it was important to mention that.

Verdict: Be very cautious while interacting with people on matrimonial sites.
