e Deal du Jour is a new French website that is trying to take the daily deal concept and inject a little romance into it. e Deal du Jour is a website for women (or gay men) that profiles one man a day. Ladies will be able to see the profiled man's picture, bio and what he is looking for in a woman all on one page.
The e Deal du Jour site also provides users with the option to sign up for a paid membership, which gives them access to archived and upcoming profiles. One feature that sets e Deal du Jour apart from other Internet dating sites is the counter displayed next to the profile picture of each man. Since each man only gets one day of fame, interested women only have a limited amount of time in which to contact them. Another interesting tidbit is that a woman's version of e Deal du Jour may be making its way to the Internet sometime soon. Color me excited.
