Website for ugly folks - TheUglyBugBall.com

Ugly people deserve love too, suggests one Irish dating site.

TheUglyBugBall.com, or TUBB, a dating site for ugly people, launched in Ireland a year ago. It has been a huge success, with 9,000 subscribers in the Republic, reports the Herald.

"If you are one of the millions of people that don't like what they see in the mirror, then this is the place for you!" declares TUBB.

A spokesperson from the site said: "TheUglyBugBall.com originally launched in the UK [where it has 140,000 members] but we had such a huge interest in Ireland that we set a site up there a few weeks after the UK one.

---------------------

"I think people like the site because they are slightly cynical of the way dating sites are portraying pretty people getting together.

"The reality is that most of the people aren't really ugly, but it would never have really taken off if we had called it 'Average Person Dating Co'."

Other popular, kitschy dating sites include LoveGAA.ie, for GAA fans, and Toyboy.com, for older women in search of younger men. However, the most popular site is the controversial site MaritalAffair.ie, which provides a platform for adultery.

Oh well woundedknee, or should that be wounded knucklehead? It's nice to see you defend your fellow moron, but that's about all you seem to be capable of doing - so crawl back under your small minded American rock in case you get hurt by the big boys. Unlike you, I'm not a cowardly American who needs multiple aliases. I say what needs to be said, like it, or get over it - it's your choice!

Trealach (and whatever other aliases you post under), why do you come on a discussion site if all you can do is scream abuse? You should be ashamed of yourself, you've nothing worthwhile to offer. And I think I noticed you posting some Protestant fundamentalist nonsense earlier. What a hypocrite. Don't bother posting here any more.

Sirpeter, have you had many dates out of this, or were you too ugly for even that site? Try the site irishfools dot com, sirpeter, you'll see there are others almost as bad as you.
