A woman has no regrets after meeting her boyfriend via the notorious Facebook group literally dedicated to dull men. Her dream man was posting relentlessly in the online community about various boring things, such as the colour of his kettle light and the various train stations he’d been to, when she decided to make her move.
Both members of the 577,000-strong ‘Dull Men’s Club’, which confesses to ‘celebrating the ordinary’, 32-year-old Danielle Goodyear met 36-year-old James Warburton after finding his posts amusing.
Danielle said: ‘The group just randomly came up on my Facebook. I don’t remember what the post was about but it was something typically dull and boring but also quite satisfying at the same time, like neatly organised sock drawers.
She added James as a friend and the two started messaging, before the pair had their first date in September, reports MailOnline. James admitted that the group is morphing into a sort of dating platform, well away from its humble origins of genuinely dull people who wanted their own space away from society.
He said: “The amount of people now that go on there and they’re like, I wanna find a dull fellow, I wanna find a dull lady. We have a laugh, but it’s just normal – not Love Island.”
He described the group as a “safe space”, adding “some people in there are electrical engineers, some people are pilots. Some people are train drivers – there is literally every kind of person in there.”
People can supposedly find the answer to anything, he says. Describing it as better than Google, he explains that mundane but everyday topics are discussed.
The topics are truly bizarre – one popular post talked about their rainfall bucket being halfway to full, with a prediction that the water would topple over the edges in about two months.
Another proud man revealed: “Managed to remove the old silicone seal from around my bath in one entire piece. All 254cm of it. Winning at life,’ alongside a photo of the discarded silicone.”
However, one member replied “I’m sorry but this is entirely too exciting for the Dull Men’s Club”.
If there is anyone reading who is wondering what to get their dad or husband for Christmas, they would do well to browse Dull Men’s Club, with one post suggesting a battery tester would be the perfect gift.
