British Dating Site Caters To Ugly People! Would You Join A Site For Ugly Folks?
By Robert Paul Reyes
"The creator of TheUglyBugBall.co.uk said the British dating site is the world's first to cater exclusively to people who 'weren't blessed with great looks.'
Howard James of London said the dating site for the 'aesthetically challenged' excludes 'anyone who is overtly pretty or attractive, The Sun reported." UPI
"Half of UK daters aren't pretty so instead of fishing in a small pool of prettiness and getting nowhere dive into an ocean of uglies and have more choice."

The owner of this Web site must have very strict standards; I don't think half the people in any country are ugly. After a few beers, I think every woman in the bar is gorgeous.
Most dating sites put photographs of women who look models and men who look like actors on their front page, but on the front page of TUBB you will find women and men who are, let's not mince words, plain ugly.
It's about time there was a dating site that caters to plain folks. We outnumber the bold and beautiful, and the operators of this site are destined to make tons of money. Even though TUBB charges less than conventional dating services:
"In these straightened times TUBB is cheaper as a) We don't charge much as the pretty sites and b) Ugly people have lower expectations - for a first date a Family Bucket will usually do the trick." From front page of TUBB
Most ugly people will be delighted with this Web site, but what if an ugly person can't find a date on this peculiar site? He might consider suicide if even the ugly ladies turn him down.
One of the ugly people shown on the front page of TUB, Anthony London, is a dead ringer for Fox News Radio personality John Gibson. I kid you not, check it out.
If a Web site for ugly people sets up shop on this side of the pond, would you become a member? Send us your comments!
