Is this site only for people whose ultimate goal is marriage?
Yes, we only focus on marriages. This is not a casual dating site. We specialize in marriages in Indian sub-continent (Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan).
Who is a matchmaker?
Can I use the site without a matchmaker?
Yes. You can perform all the tasks yourself. You don't have to have a matchmaker.
However, a matchmaker will have the experience and time to find the best match for you. The matchmaker will use knowledge and additional skills which only a human can possess. The matchmaker brings a "human factor" in the whole matchmaking process.
SensibleMatch focuses on marriages in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. A marriage in the Indian sub-continent is a complex matter, and can not be put in a formula that a computer system can fully understand. That's why, a competent matchmaker can play a vital role in finding the right match for you.
With our Gold and Platinum plans, you get access to a matchmaker without any additional cost. While you use a matchmaker, you can continue to perform all the tasks yourself in parallel. You and your matchmaker can work as a team with the same goal in mind: your happiness.
Who are submitters and candidates?
The person for whom a match is being sought is called a "Candidate". Essentially, the candidate is the person who is going to get married after a perfect match is found. Each candidate has a profile on our system which describes the candidate. The person who creates the profile of the candidate is called the "Submitter". It is possible for the same person to be both submitter and candidate of a profile.
What is a profile?
A profile is a description of a candidate who is supposed to get married. It lists various information about the candidate such as name, address, photos, physical attributes, interests, etc.
What are private and public profiles?
Why does some information on the Profile show as 'private'?
Some of the information of a profile is only visible in the Private Profile. That's why, those information appear as 'private' in the Public Profile. You need to access the Private Profile to view them.
What is the "Add to Favorites" option?
When you review the Profile of a candidate and you would like to remember this profile for future reference, you can add the Profile to your Favorites. In future, you can access the Favorites list by following the menu path: Other Profiles -> Favorites.
What is a Private Profile Access Request?
Any user can view the Public Profile of another user without any permission. However, looking at the Private Profile requires permission from the user who created the profile. When such permission is requested, it is called a Private Profile Access Request. Once the Private Profile Access Request is approved, both parties can also send mails to each other via MailBox. No contact information is shared.
What is a Premium Service Plan?
When you become a paying member, the plan you subscribe to is called a Premium Service Plan. There are three premium service plans: Silver Plan, Gold Plan, and Platinum Plan. They allow you to view the Private Profiles of other candidates, and contact them. Additional Information: Private Profile Access Request | Contact Request | Fees
