I don't think it's that common in the US. I would be hesitant as well. If mom and dad had to create and pay for OLD, what else are they doing for their grown child?I want to date someone who is in control of their own dating life.
It's DEFINITELY very common on matrimonial sites in India! Parents are incredibly involved and "supervise" the entire process.
Honestly, I think this is very strange, not sure how I'd react. I couldn't imagine being 30 years old and having my parents create a dating profile for me. Sounds to me like she hasn't made the separation from mommy and daddy, which would be a huge red flag to me.

Sure, but given the poster's history, we're assuming that this takes place in a culture that doesn't incorporate marriage arrangements.
My Indian friend's family (and hers) arranged everything about his and his wife's courtship and marriage...they barely even knew one another when they married, but it was advantageous to both families to push the partnership.
It's not a Western cultural norm, though, obviously.
Probably because she disclosed it to him. If she thought it wasn't his business, she needn't have mentioned it.

Thank you Tabula. Obviously I peeked through her bedroom window every night and put a tracer on her cell. But seriously, she told me that at dinner. I'm not sure if that is something I would have readily admitted on a first date. Though, you have to admire the honesty.
I find it cute that the parents are concerned and took action.
I don't see any red flags. I think she has a loving family who also seems to have some $$$. But I wonder that they had to pay - I never paid for paid services because they take on women for free usually if they look okay.
Who knows, the daughter might have been too tied up at work to think about dating or whatever.
Much more promising as a woman who signs up on Tinder and has not spoken to her parents in 10 years.
Sounds weird to me. She is 30 years old and should leave her parents out of it. I have a friend who is up her parent's butt, always has been. Has been divorced twice. Just something to think about.
