Revenge is here, girls

Boys better watch out, because now we’ve got them wrapped around our fingers. Every guy knows girls talk, but now girls can rate boys as well thanks to the social media app, Lulu.

On Lulu, girls can rate, review, and stalk any guy plugged into social media. The app is connected to Facebook to help girls find guys they may know. Girls can anonymously rate guys they know based on their manners, looks, personality, humor, appearance, ambition, commitment and many more criteria, quite possibly the greatest waste of time ever.

This sounds like something out of a sappy, high school chick flick, but it’s shocking how many girls use it and how many Cal High guys are rated.

There’s one huge feed of about a million guys. Some you may know, some in your area, and most that are your Facebook friends and you can pick hashtags to describe them, such as #GoneInTheMorning and #KissableLips.

It’s almost as if these people want to turn girls into pathological stalkers.  It aslo has encouraged some guys to create fake Facebook accounts so they can rate themselves.

Girls can be insane in the guy department as it is, and this app is making it so girls feel like they can get revenge against a guy who once broke her heart, hurt her, or even let her go unnoticed. Seeing as how widespread this app is, girls could possibly make a guy undesirable.

For guys, this is a significant boost in their self-esteem if they go onto a girl’s phone and see how highly they’re rated.

Then there are those guys who believe that everything the app says is true and that they really are at level 10 hotness. Though most of this is just guys playing pranks on each other, infatuated girls who are obsessed with their crushes, and ex-girlfriends getting revenge on their ex-boyfriends, I’ve overheard guys talking about their ratings. Boy, you better get that 7 up, you are not boyfriend material.

Seems like girls have power over the guys now since we can rate them and now they will be getting a taste of their own medicine.

In the past, guys have usually been the ones who used rating apps or websites to rate girls. Even now, guys rate girls as they pass by in the quad, or pass them on the sidewalk.

Mark Zuckerberg originally started Facebook as a website called FaceMash to rate and compare female students at Harvard. Lulu is the tech-savvy girl’s revenge, a decade later. Take that Facemash. Lulu takes social media to a new level of crazy.
