With the massive growth of the Internet, social networks have become the latest buzz for Pakistanis. Both Pakistani girls and boys are spending more and more time on social networks like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. Facebook is one of the top choices among Pakistani youth. Pakistani girls use social networks to keep in contact with relatives and friends. However, their online activities don't only involve staying in touch with relatives and friends, but also meeting acquaintances. Some individuals even meet their future marriage partner online.
A marriage in Pakistan is viewed as a joining of the two parents' families. It is seen as a bridge between two clans and is a quite traditional look at married life. Thus, it is understandable that parents would want to help their sons meet and marry someone ideal, and online social and dating sites have assisted boys as well as parents in a tremendous way. Looking over profile pictures, information and activities make it easier for one to check on a person's family background, personality, likes and dislikes, educational and/or professional attainments, set of friends, and so on.
There are dating sites that have more than 20 million registered online users. With that many people to check out and mingle with, one is sure to find the ideal person to marry. There are even sites that have matching technology that can find the best match for you. Usually in this case, a system is used to match the information you provide on your profile to others that have similar information as you. For instance, you may be successfully matched with someone who has about the same hobbies as you. On the other hand, many simply choose to provide details on their preferences.
