Match making for marriages is an age-old practice across cultures and civilizations all over the world. There was a time when parents and guardians of the society shouldered the responsibility of finding the best matches for their eligible wards and the bride or the groom had little say over such crucial decisions of their lives. Societal norms strangled their voices and they had to accept what their parents thought were best for them, regardless of their personal opinion on the issue. The tradition developed because parents were assumed to be the best judge of the future of their wards and they took decisions based on their own personal experiences of this nasty little world filled with crooked fellows. Romance before marriage was a distant dream for the majority of young people and they got the taste of Cupid’s arrows only after they were coupled together by rituals. Fast forward to the 21st century, romance, dating, lovemaking – all of the hormone triggered phenomenon are extremely common before marriage. People meets at random places, exchanges contacts, goes for romantic dates and perform love-making – all of these in a very casual and light hearten manner, without any regard to what others think. Today’s generation can often be heard of preferring one-night stands, ‘no strings attached’ relationships and living together, but they get scared by the concept of marriage. For them, they are happy spending good time and having lots of fun, but when it comes to life-long commitment, they react in a strange manner! They would prefer experimenting with a lot of samples before selecting one for marriage, if they are at all interested in the concept of institutional marriage. Interestingly, in spite of such huge changes in the mindset and culture, one factor has remained constant – people are extremely choosy when it comes to selecting a partner for settling down. They tend to think that marriage is equivalent to stability and therefore, two minds and bodies must be in perfect unison for a long-term, which will not be possible without ハナメル　出会い finely tuned synchronization. The funny part is that they don’t pay heed to their parents and societal norms, but end up in doing the same thing for which those norms were made. The approach is different because they don’t like to accept parental advice on crucial aspects of their lives, as they perceive it as lack of personal freedom and encroachment of personal space. However, what they don’t easily realize and admit is the fact that they fiercely scrutinize prospects before marriage according to their preferences and ideas of an ideal partner and their parents would have done the same thing, perhaps in a different manner. Throughout the course of history and the story of the evolution of human civilization, the crux of the matter is same – application of discrimination based on personal experiences and preferences, when it comes to choosing only one partner for a life-long commitment. The only change that has happened is that the authority for taking such decisions has changed. Young men and women of today’s generation are aware and confident of the decisions they take regarding their own lives and shoulders the responsibilities, consequences and fall outs of such decisions. It is this change in the procedure and mindset that has given birth to online dating websites. People accesses a global pool of prospects at negligible cost, chats and interacts with a lot of their peers whom they shortlist as prospects, then decide to take things forward. Real world dating and marriage are the next steps, when anyone zeroes down on one prospect and both parties agree to give the relationship a serious shot.
