Online dating vs Face-to-face
The new App that was launched last week in South Africa has caused controversy amongst the East Coast Breakfast team.
The App called LULU encourages women to rate men.
Lulu is heavily focused on women who are allowed to rate men and it promises anonymous reviews of men as dates. While men can flirt with women using the app, they cannot see who rated them or what they said.
Women sign up to Lulu to share their dating experiences and rate dates, but the app doesn’t allow the freedom to write any review.
You have to answer multiple choice questions and rate the man in terms of a number of hash tags.
Some categories include #HartKlopTjoklits (“heart beats crazy”), #ShisaNyamaGuy (“braai guy”), and #RokJagter (“skirt chaser”).
Men, in turn, can see the hash tags women have used to describe them. In addition, participants can then flirt with secret admires on the platform.
Males who want to be removed from the application can do so via a self-removal tool, available online.
In the US, Lulu has been downloaded more than five million times and nearly one million men have signed up to get feedback from women.
After the team chatted about the new App the team randomly asked who on the team is open to online dating.
Darren was open to the idea however Natarah shared that she prefers the old school way by meeting people face-to-face.
Sky on the other hand thought that both methods were acceptable.
