Who's being objectified now? The Lulu app let's women rate and tag men for other women to see. What if there was an app for men to rate women?

I stopped giving a shit about Lulu a long time ago, but decided to read up on it since it's still around. Apparently a lot of women aren't pleased with it. Not only is it full of shit, but it can really screw you over.

Here's a review from the app.

If you allow this app to access your contacts, it will create a public profile for EVERY MALE PERSON whose number you have. Everyone. Your 70 year old father. Your former boss. Your 14 year old little cousisns. Your live-in boyfriend. Everyone.

There was no warning prior to this happening. It just happened. Thanks, lulu! It's really dishonest to get information for guys' profiles this way. Hope my grandpa gets good reviews! Oh wait, he's been married for 60 years and is in a nursing home.

I am more then a little suprised tha RoTK has not made one of these yet. Then again that would mean helping men generally, rather then the tiny handful who kowtow to the throne of rosh.

You mean like Hot or Not? Because there are plenty of knockoffs that would let you rate someone based on their looks. Pretty sure there's a hot or not app now.

Maybe the uggos in both sexes could grow up and quit trying to make everyone else as miserable as they are?

I still can't understand how this app doesn't breach data protection.

the entire concept is a complete load of shit, anyone with even half a brain can tell you that in this context people with bad reviews are clearly desirable, as after all if you met the girl of your dreams and she moved on, would you want to "review her" so that men everywhere are queuing up to date her, no you'd be far more likely to send a bad review so she would come back. assuming you are the sort of massive loser who would ever consider reviewing someone in the first place (not me)

the whole thing is just embarassingly cringe worthy for all involved other than those being reviewed (since they have no active part in it)

those who write it and those who use it, are self declared losers.

Is that what lulu is? They sent me an email a few weeks ago, something about "register to keep your rating.". I thought it was spam and deleted it.

sounds like a data protection to me.

If I remember correctly Mark Zuckerburg made a female version of this and it eventually became Facebook. I think he was suspended from school for it.

any time a question involves an app, ask yourself: is there money in this? because that is why people make apps.

men, overwhelmingly, don't care about this kind of shit.

women are way more likely than men to think "well, they're the same sex as me, so I can take them on their word." frankly, no one should take anyone on their word, so I object to the app on the basis of extremely bad epistemology. but my objection means horseshit, because unless everyone instantly realizes how unreliable this information is, they're not going to change their cognitive-behavioral habits.

even if there WAS a lulu where men rated women, would men care? hell no. men are going to think "I'm a better judge of her than some other dude is, fuck this app" OR they're going to think "this guy is biased and probably got rejected or something"
