Just realized that I'm probably not on Lulu since I never chose a gender for my account
Does FB even let you do that anymore

that's a good idea

as someone on another msg board put it, the whole world is a rating system for women, soo....

Well Lulu is surely going to fix that once and for all.

i don't participate in that because it's a shitty thing to do
― Tip from Tae Kwon Do: (crüt), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 04:09 (ten years ago) link
actually i take that back because i know someone's gonna call me out so hard
― Tip from Tae Kwon Do: (crüt), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 04:10 (ten years ago) link
not at all - i can only see lulu perpetuating shitty discourses which especially affect women
― veneer timber (imago), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 04:36 (ten years ago) link
I have seen Lulu reviews, and generally people are pretty nice.
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 26 November 2013 05:04 (ten years ago) link
hmm. am a sceptic for now, unless it can be shown that this is more helpful & less problematic than presenting oneself to would-be dates

<3 u boo but the thing is you can't not participate, because we're all in it. We all should be examining our stuff though, and purposefully working against the easy assumptions that we're fed.

yeah that's otm. i regret my whining itt. i get stressed out but that's life.

so out of curiosity i changed my fbook gender to female and then tried to join Lulu and I got a message saying "sorry you already have a profile as a different gender"
gender politics aside, but unless i'm misunderstanding how lulu works its a little fucked up that a 3rd party app can make a profile for you just because one of your friends joined it before you did
― 乓乒 (gr8080), Tuesday, 26 November 2013 15:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah that's the skeezy part imo, I wouldn't have any problem w/ the app if it was opt-in but it seems like it's opt-out

It's gonna be fun when the inevitable men's or unisex version of this comes along and dating becomes a matter of mutual assured destruction.

OK folks, need a little advice...I got some bad advice to bump up my height on OKC from 5'8" to 5'9"...I don't think my first date on Friday will care (hopefully) but now I'm getting queries from 5'9" women and wondering if I should break the news in an offhanded way, or just quietly amend my profile and then see who bites. Any advice would be so appreciated!
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:20 (ten years ago) link
is the advice bad if it worked

I say I'm 5'10" when really I'm 5'9"+3/4 and it TEARS ME UP INSIDE.
― Merdeyeux, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:27 (ten years ago) link
bit under 3/4 actually. probably 2/3.
― Merdeyeux, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
somehow i'm not worried about the height thing with the woman i'm seeing on friday, but of course now i have several 5'9" women visiting me and that seems like it could spell trouble. Merdeyeux, are you saying don't worry about it?
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:34 (ten years ago) link
almost every man I've met from okcupid who stated he was 5'9" was more like 5'7"
― homosexual II, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:47 (ten years ago) link
homosexual II that's awesome news! thanks
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:57 (ten years ago) link
xxp i'm saying that i actually feel a bit guilty about being slightly dishonest but that's because i'm a giant idiot. my objective take is that it really doesn't matter, yeah.
― Merdeyeux, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 15:58 (ten years ago) link
you're a good guy, merdeyeux, that's why you feel bad. i do too but this is a war of the hearts
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 3 December 2013 16:08 (ten years ago) link
i used to say i was 5'9" but i changed it to 5' 7" since i'm like 5' 7.5" barefoot.
