So what would happen if I make an app to rate girls from facebook, and they can't log in to check if they've been voted or commented on etc... Does that make me a creep and a perv, because that's exactly what it sounds like to me.

You'd also get Germaine Greer knocking on your door. I've been down this road before.. http://tomoconnor.eu/blogish/hell-hath-no-fury-man-discrimin...

Would be interesting to see someone with a bit of spare time and cash take this to court. I wonder what the ruling would be.

Well. The one thing is a service to rate (sexualize/stalk) others without their knowing and consent, the other is a social network only for girls.

The latter kind of reminds me of a sitcom-idea as pg calls it (http://paulgraham.com/startupideas.html). Looks good on paper but of no actual use. I really have no idea what problem can be solved by targeting women for a social network exclusively which isn't already solved by facebook (groups), whatsapp (group conversations with photos) or path (small exclusive social networks).

edit: okay sorry. After visiting the lulu website, it does exactly what you describe. Taps into the same socially accepted double standard popular websites like tubecrush already use.

The audio recording I made for Luluvise a few months ago for a video animation is pretty amusing too: - http://soundcloud.com/chrisleydon/luluvise-animation-audio

Makes you wonder if a service this shallow could ever take off.

I'll be interested to see how they respond to you uploading that.

So will I, however it was just a concept ad and I'm still the copyright holder. I make a habit of not selling my copyright when I freelance, or do work for favours, makes more financial sense to license it.

>Most importantly, Lulu revolves around talking about repeatedly shagging your “sexy CEO” male boss up against his desk and then rating him on his performance, looks and pong (yes, his scent) afterwards.

I don't understand women.

It's unfair to brand all women like this... just the ones who engage in such activities on Lulu.

Obviously we all want people who are great in bed, look stunning and don't smell, but there's no need to publish this info and make people feel terrible about themselves.

All this bitching goes on in private, perhaps we just ought to leave it that way? Certainly don't need an app for it. Just degrading.

You are implying that "men" wouldn't do something similar?

I don't think this is a gender issue, so it's not fair to say that either "men" or "women" are at fault here. People are weird.

Spare me the PC nonsense. If the roles were reversed, women would be up in arms at being degraded. Meanwhile, most of us here (mostly men, I assume), don't particularly care.

Point to a mainstream site or app that does this for men. I grew up in locker-rooms as a hockey player. We talked like this when we were young. No one I know would think it's still appropriate. And women I know find it unattractive. But yet...
