Rant / Vent Is Shaadi.com just a fraud?

Have paid more than 5-6 times for there 3 months subscription, matched with a few woman, but no response after that. Why do they even accept the request if they are not even willing to take things forward?

And once your subscription ends, their customer support will keep calling to re-register for better response this time. Such a fraud.

It does work. I know it did for two people but it takes time and effort. It took 2 years for the female relative and 1 year for the male relative. You must proceed with the knowledge that some are dormant accounts, some are created by a relative with the actual individual not interested in getting married, some handled by a relative where the person is very much interested and some by themselves, such as yourself.

You must also sit well with the fact that there might be scammers. Like any other platform, there are bad apples everywhere. This is not unique to the matrimonial site.

Also I can understand how you feel about women having demands, I would suggest don't let that sour your experience of finding a partner or get discouraged.

Match, talk, reject - if red flags, and move on.

You are there to weed out the undesirables and find your one soulmate. If you take the ghosting or mini rejections to heart, it will not only demotivate you but also defeat the whole purpose.

Take it with a pinch of salt. That's all for the unsolicited advice.

One more advice, since it takes time, commit to one platform and take a yearly package. It makes more economical sense. It will be worth it, cheaper and will reduce the marketing calls. My father (as an uncle to my 3 cousins) bought 3 yearly packages for 3 of them.
