The funniest guy in every state, according to scores of women who rated them anonymously

Madeline Stone / Business Insider

Alexandra Chong – founder and CEO of Lulu

With the slogan “do your research,” the controversial app Lulu lets millions of women anonymously rate men on their looks, personality, and sense of humor. 

Men are rated overall on a scale of 1 to 10, but women can also pick hashtags to describe them, like #DoesHisOwnLaundry or #JustFriends (free form answers could put Lulu’s users in libelous territory).

The app recently started letting women send anonymous messages to guys — the men can’t initiate conversation themselves. The company says it has generated billions of profile views, and registrations have grown 3X in the last month. 

Business Insider worked with Lulu to find the funniest guy in every state based on the”humor score” they had been given by women who know them.
