83 already exists in France. It's called "Adopte un mec" (translation: adopt a guy) and it's very successful (http://www.adopteunmec.com). It ysed to target a yound adult crowd with some funky design but the UX and design god much better over the years so they may be moving up.

I used to work with an office full of females, and a French woman was showing this site to the others. They were reading it and laughing about it, and I remember feeling uncomfortable then. I was imagining how a woman would feel if a room full of men went onto a website and laughed about picking out their ideal woman. A bit of a double standard because it's funny if girls are doing it, but if guys did that it would be sexual harassment. But I'm sure it was all in good fun and it was done in a classier way than men would have done.
