Fans who grew up on Disney movies tend to notice that the men of Disney are not placed under nearly as much scrutiny as their female counterparts.
To that end, BuzzFeed created over ten imaginary profiles if the men of Disney were being rated using the Lulu app. For those unfamiliar with Lulu, it is an app that allow women to anonymously rate and rank their exes, friends or secret admirer by writing in the form of twitter hash tags what they believe to be that man's best and worst qualities. For example, one of Aladdin's best qualities is his #epicsmile but one of his worse qualities is that he is a #liarliarpantsonfire.
One can only wonder if these guys would have actually stood a chance if their current loves had access to this information before hand.
