Controversial former "Bachelorette" contestant launches smart dating site

June 7, 2010 - PRLog -- One of the most controversial contestants ever to compete on ABC's "The
Bachelorette" is now helping singles around the world find the REAL love of
their life.

Fabrice Le Parc appeared on the popular dating reality show in 2005.
However, after weeks of rumors and lots of TV buzz, "Frenchy" (as he was
called behind his back) made a "shocking announcement" and voluntarily
quit the show.

Here's a link to a story from People magazine at the time.

With an MBA and experience with startups and tech companies, Fabrice has
launched Smartdate.com to help people find REAL
relationships through the Internet.

Smartdate enables its users to make a direct link live from Facebook -
where they can automatically import their profile, set it up for dating, and
search among "friends of friends," a process that is more realistic and
closer to real life.

In March, Smartdate was awarded $2.2 million in seed funding. Since its launch in April, Smartdate is the fastest growing European dating site, with 6200 new members/day.
