Dos and Don’ts

The description section of a matrimony profile is basically an "About You" for the person seeking a partner. It’s your chance to show potential matches what’s special about you—and to let others know what you’re hoping to find. We have tons of examples so you can craft a matrimony profile that’s unique to you, including samples for women and men. We also talked to dating coaches Julianne Cantarella and Laura Bilotta to learn more about what to include in a successful profile.

How do you write a good matrimony profile description?

Introduce yourself and describe your education, career, hobbies, and values. Use positive language to describe what you want in a match. Dating coach and matchmaker Laura Bilotta says, "To make a strong connection, it’s important to be yourself," so be honest and authentic, and include a recent photo of yourself.

What to Include in a Matrimony Profile Description

Download Article

1
Biodata Open your matrimony profile with biodata, or basic facts about yourself. This might include your age, where you live, and your education and career. You might also briefly discuss your family. Some people also choose to include their height.
- Many matrimony sites will have separate sections for biodata and your "About Me" information. It’s okay to briefly include some of the same information from the biodata section in your "About Me" section if you want to emphasize it.
2
Interests & values Use your matrimony profile description to give potential matches a better understanding of who you are as a person. Discuss what you like to do in your free time so they’ll know if you have anything in common. Also, talk about the values that are important to you. Take your time with this part—spend a few days writing it if you need to.
- Spend at least a couple of sentences on this part—it’s where you can really stand out from other profiles.
3
Partner preference Share what’s important to you in a partner, but be open-minded—if your description is too specific, you might discourage potential matches. Include common values and interests that you’d like your partner to have.
- If it’s important to you, you might also include things like education, religion, horoscope match, and caste.
Cantarella recommends choosing 3–4 photos in a variety of poses. "Choose photos that present the best version of you. Make sure the photos are clear and not grainy, where you’re looking into the camera and you’re smiling and look confident. That will help you present a warm, approachable image."^{[1]

- Don’t: Exaggerate or brag. It might seem tempting to exaggerate a little to make yourself sound more impressive, but it’s not a good idea. Even if it gets you an interested match, they’re probably not going to stick around if they feel like you were dishonest.
- Also, stay away from clichés like "innocent divorcee" and "no drama"—they just come across as filler and don’t really tell the other person anything valuable about you.
2
Do: Describe your ideal partner. Think about what’s really important to you in a spouse. Focus on values and personality traits that you think will make someone compatible with you, but also try to remain open-minded.
- Don’t: Be overly specific. You’ll narrow the field too much, which could potentially discourage a suitable match from messaging you. And don’t focus too much on looks, which could make you seem shallow or vain.
3
Do: Use positive language. Try to maintain an upbeat, optimistic tone as you’re writing. Think about what you like to do for fun, the good qualities about yourself, and what you’re hoping to find in a partner.
- Don’t: Talk too much about what you don’t want. Negative language can make you seem pessimistic or bitter, which could discourage potential matches.
4
Do: Keep it concise. A good matrimony profile description should be about 3–5 sentences long. That gives you enough space to talk about yourself without losing the reader’s attention. And be sure to proofread!
- Don’t: Use overly flowery language. Cantarella says, "Include just enough information to show the different facets of your personality. People today have a short attention span, so if your profile is too long, people might get bored."^{[3]
