When I get woken up at 8 on a Saturday morning, I am fairly certain that there's something happening at home which requires my exclusive attention and which my highly resourceful and fiercely independent parents can't handle on their own. After having fended off two attempts made by dad to wake me up, I finally relented to his third attempt,

I have an online presence! So does that better my chances?? :D

[skthewimp]

are you a software engineer?
do you work for infosys?

if the answer to both is no, then i can say that your online presence will AFFECT your chances. whether it betters or worsens your chances depends on what you write on your blog (i'm afraid i haven't read much of it). for example, if you are like me and abuse temples in your blog, then you'll know that it can affect only negatively.

I know for sure that his blog definitely improves his chances of dating a female Ron-Paul fan. And reduces chances to zero wrt all other females. ;-)

i too have been involved a couple of times in doing "due diligence". it's only been like "i saw this guy is 2 degrees away from you in orkut. what do y9ou know about him"
and "i hear this guy is from your school 2 years senior. do you know him?"

I have nothing to do with IIMB whatsoever in this matter. I hope.

Ha ha ha!
Considering my parents are "looking for [a guy for] me" I am aware of this process. Leaves me completely red in the face and so pissed off.
But I do feel bad for the "detectives" roped in for the work *laughs*
Though, I do wish I were MIA and they were really "Looking" for me...!(rather than looking for a guy for me!)

I have also looked in orkut and facebook for the girls whose proposals have come to my cousin.. and when I don't find any profiles there I am really surprised. We have to come to expect every person of our age group to have an online presence.

Bili doesn't orkut. How do we get Ron Paul to ?
