Now that I have a music system in my car, I listen to the radio at least 2 hours a day while commuting to work, thanks to bangalore traffic! So recently, I heard this ad on Radio One about 'Privilege Matimony', which is supposed to be a "personalized" special matrimonial service offered by Bharatmatrimony for all the busy and young professionals who have no time to find a suitable partner for themselves... and of course it comes with a premium cost. Hmmm... I am still unable to find a logical reason behind this concept.....extremely stupid and silly! How can a relationship manager decide whether you are compatible with someone or not? Searching the profiles online can be done personally on any of the regular matrimonial sites, so I dont understand this "personal relationship manager" concept at all. One of the basic and most important decision of people's lives is being treated like a mere business transaction...

Well, I believe, if you are so busy that you dont have time to invest in finding someone special, then you probably dont need that special someone in your life!

I am not sure if anyone has *actually* benefitted from this, but to me, the concept itself sounds hollow and like just another money making tactic...

I have an uncle who is a satisfied customer of Privilege Matrimony. He says that what makes it different is the personalised attention and customised packages to ensure that there is a close fit including lifestyle matching. He thinks it helps to have a professional sift through hundreds of profiles and handpick the most matching and relevant profiles. Even the general quality of profiles that one comes across on Privilege Matrimony is a few notches higher. It has other features too that make it ideal for today's on-the-move professionals!

Well said.. I think it is one more step in the series of probably making life more objective.. finding logic in how things work and to some extent over-relying on human minds ability to interpret reason out the things. I remember one of my friends trying to be logical in finding a match for himself. After he found one he said when u meet him or her you just know :)
Interesting to see human brain compete with the complexities of life...

I agree with you 200%. Bharat matrimony tried selling it to me also. Heard that profiles are better. But overall i feel it's not right thing to do. Our sites are becoming smarter in finding innovative ways to make money.
