If you’re rating men in your head, you can now download an iPhone app to share your thoughts to see what other women have to say. This somewhat-exclusive platform of “girl talk” includes the rating of men based on not just appearance, but also other categories like first kiss, humor, manners, ambition and commitment.
Men are added to the database by a female member; photos, a bio and hash tags put him on the market.
Unlike Facebook, Lulu does not sugar-coat. It cuts to the chase and tells you whether he is a heart breaker or your future husband, alongside other relevant facts. The creator of this app says she wants to help women find love; what faster way to fact-check than through your mobile phone?
