Hot or Not? Lulu is a Girls-Only App for Reviewing Your Guy Friends
Hi, I'm Brit, the founder and CEO of Brit + Co. I'm a young mom of two, tech nerd and design-inclined lady who has a zillion hobbies and curious about... just about everything! My mission from the beginning has been to unlock women's creativity and courage to try new things so that they can find the path to their true passions.
“Sex and the City meets Facebook” is how some people have described it, and we would have to agree. Lulu, the brand new womens-only app for finding and reviewing men (available on both iOS and Android), is one of the hottest new apps on the market. It’s interesting to note the “girls club-ness” of the whole thing. It uses Facebook Connect to log you in and determine if you are a lady. If not, it’s to the streets you go!
Once you’re in, you can browse all dudes in the network, or just filter to your guy friends. Click to view each guy’s profile and feel free to write him a review. You can rate him on everything from how great of a friend he is, to how great of a boyfriend he is, to how great of a sex partner he is (don’t worry, it doesn’t get *too* R-rated). Because we live in an Instagram and Twitter world, the app also lets you add pre-determined hashtags that help define him. They range from positive (#RespectsWomen) to neutral (#CleansUpGood) to negative and weird (#WearsEdHardy).
We happened to find one of our men’s contributors, Matt Galligan, on Lulu. Here’s a sneak peek at his profile. 9.8! Wowsers. Get him while he’s hot, ladies.
Why is the app so popular? Well obviously, it’s very entertaining (and the fact that it’s girls-only has a very cool secretive feel). Secondly, it lets you check in on potential dudes you may want to date to get validation from other women if he’s a heartbreaker or a future husband. It’s like going on one big gabfest with thousands of your girlfriends.
