A new study suggests that Indian women are impressed by men who are technology-savvy and those who are active on online social networking platforms.
Shaadi.com conducted a study to understand the influence of lifestyle and technology on women looking for a partner. In this study, women were asked about things they notice in their prospective partner.

Interestingly, women seem to notice the technology men choose.

As much as 48.4 percent of the respondents said that they notice gadgets, especially their phones and phone accessories, 27.1 percent said they notice watches and the remaining respondents went for a man's shoes.

According to 28.3 percent of the women, Twitter and Facebook are important mediums to analyse social presence, behaviour and psychology of potential partners.

Commenting on the survey results, Gourav Rakshit, chief operating officer, Shaadi.com, said: "The study indicates that the Indian woman is now going beyond the conventional partner preferences. Previously, the emphasis in matchmaking for a girl was a well-settled man.

"Today people give a lot of importance to compatibility. The poll is part of the constant research that Shaadi.com conducts in its attempt to gauge the preferences of its members," he said in a statement.
