Ugly People Meeting Online

The Ugly Bug Ball Dating Service

The Ugly Bug Ball Dating Service

The Ugly Bug Ball, a dating service for the less than beautiful people among us, is celebrating their first wedding engagement between two members.

Taken from The Ugly Bug Ball front page:
1# 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.

2# Ugly people are a better calibre of human – pretty people generally aren’t very nice and tend to be a bit shallow

3# Ugly people have had a tougher life and therefore tend to be more considerate and more loyal. A recent TUBB survey also proved that they try harder in bed.

4# Once with an ugly partner it is unlikely that anyone will try and take them from you meaning you can let yourself go completely once you’re together.

5# 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.

There is a graphic on their home page that illustrates their mantra of 15% people beautiful, 35% just OK and 50% of people ugly. Certainly a far cry from Seinfeld’s estimate of 95% of people ugly enough to be undatable and this is an argument that I’ll let others fight out.

The Ugly Bug Ball does accept members in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia and Ireland. Free to join, post a profile and browse members profiles but you’ll dig into your wallet to buy a subscription to be able to contact other members (we think). Complete review pending.

Halloween: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween

Sunday

I wasn’t sure if we’d make it this far along in the calendar but here we are, the funnest day of the year, besides Christmas morning and all of those presents to open. That’s coming soon enough.

Halloween, scaring the spirits back to their resting place so we day/night people can live in a world without fear of the dead coming back to haunt us.

I like this idea, for sure.

You might have been our celebrating Halloween yesterday night, which is just fine for us adults, but today the young ones take over. I always waver about giving away candy for free to groups of kids I don’t see the rest of the year. Is Halloween the payment policy for living without the little brats being in the way the other 364 days of the year? I’ll have to consider this and expand on it in a later post.

Today we’re talking your dating profile headline and writing one that will get you a fair amount of attention. Without a nice picture and a fun headline your profile is almost certain to be overlooked and passed by, maybe The One won’t find you because of a poorly written headline. Now that is a truly scary thought.

Today I suggest you post this as your headline:
“Can I tell you a Halloween story?”

Have a great Halloween!

Saturday

The weekend has arrived, fully. I like this and I’m sure you do too (unless you’re reading this at your desk, at work…).

Halloween evening is a day away and many of you will be out looking for some adult “Tricks or Treats” and for this I wish you luck. (You won’t want to miss our best Halloween pickup lines article.)

Besides knowing some good pickup lines knowing a simple magic trick or two will really score you some points. Watch how to make a coin disappear below. There aren’t too many times you can use magic as a pickup, happily this is one of those times. The trick below should take you no more than 20 minutes to master.

Sleight of Hand Magic Tricks : How to Make a Coin Disappear



You’ll have fun, I know you will…

Today is a good time to make the effort to get some chat time in and reply to some messages, or initiate contact with some interesting people, just to get an invite to a Halloween party or maybe a bar/pub event meetup.

For your dating ad headline today let’s work the Halloween event and go with:
“What will you be dressed up as for Halloween?”

Have a great day!

Friday’s Conversation Topics

Wow, this week just sped by… and do you know that Christmas is now only 8 weeks away!

Wow again!

This week there is plenty to talk about and, as a bonus just for you, a few current news stories that will make great conversation when you need to add your voice to the convo. So keep reading and learn something to speak about from these five interesting news stories from the past week.

- Yes, many government have such high borrowing debts that Germany (in the EU) says, hey, make the bondholders lose all of their investments and let the regular citizens life a better, less austere life. I’m all for that, in a way. End the incredibly high priced bailouts and let those that invested in the government bonds lose out just like any other investor. And return life to normal without all of these high tax increases, restricted austerity measures and let’s just wipe the slate clean (Like the North American automakers burned their stock holders but are still in business today (could be a reasonable case study there) and start anew. Right. (By the way, my savings are still safe, right?)

- The story first surfaced in a YouTube video that includes film footage showing the 1928 premiere of the Charlie Chaplin film “The Circus” at Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Irish filmmaker George Clarke points out a woman in the old footage holding what he describes as a cell phone against her ear. The shape implies the woman is a time traveler using a modern mobile device rather than an ear trumpet, Clarke said. Watch the video below and see for yourself.


- With Halloween just days away, be sure to view, then share, these photos of the 25 Hottest Scary Movie Starlets. There’s some good newbie starlets and some much older previously viewed starlets (LOL) like Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order:SVU fame) in the silly 1985 flick ‘Ghoulies’ and plenty more. Great trivia facts to learn here too.

- Cops don’t like when you waterboard your girlfriend, even if he thinks you’re cheating. Really, dude, is she that special that you’ll do something to spend a few years in jail for?

- 4 year old on a bike with training wheels can be sued by the elderly lady she ran down. Some days sorry just isn’t enough in New York City. Apparently, under four is too old to be charged with negligence but over four you’re going to end up in court. Of course the 87 year old lady did die 3 weeks later. I see a lot of bikes with training wheels and a retractable leash under the Christmas tree this year.

Have a great weekend!

Life is Scary: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Looking back in your time

Looking back in your time

Friday

Isn’t life just Super-Awesome?

Life always takes place in front of a live audience and, very often, the audience is unforgiving.

So much for Super-Awesome right? A little more scary life becomes, doesn’t it?

Sometimes when you look back at your life you manage to concentrate on just the good, or just the bad, not both.

Being a part of the Dating Scene requires that you work the good that has happened to you in your life into the conversations that occur when someone asks you “What did you do earlier in life?” or some other similar question.

Seriously, avoid the bad stuff like you wish you could have the first time back then.

By remembering our successes, and being able to talk about them in a non-glory-hound way, makes us just that much more interesting and attractive.

Try to keep this in mind as your online dating email messages turn into real world dates. Because they will, unless you screw up somewhere along the line. Guys, don’t screw this up.

For your dating profile headline of the day, post this:
“I’ve been looking back and don’t recall you there. Can we meet now?”

Have a great day!

Date for the Weekend: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Thursday

Wow, is it ever dark out this morning. I can’t wait until Daylight Savings Time has ended and there starts to be some light in my mornings… of course then it’s dark at 4:30pm, and getting darker earlier… yuck.

Today you need to think “date for the weekend”.

This is going to take some serious editing of your profile, adding some stories about how much fun you can have, anywhere, at any time. Then changing your profile headline to this:
“2+2=4, you and me = fun!”

Have a great day!

Today’s online dating tip: LoveAccess.com lets you keep your photo album private but you can also send your pictures when you contact other members. Send an enticing, a little bit sexy photo and you’ll always get a great reply!

Joy: Dating Profile Headline of the Day

Joy for a new day

Joy for a new day

Wednesday

Oops… I’ve slept in late and now am in a rush for today’s headline offering.

Today the world is new to you. You may be struggling through the week but, despite the sameness, everything today you are really experiencing for the first time, because the day is really a new, unexplored day today.

Take this joy of a new day with you and share it, and make this work in your headline too, like this:
“Everyday is a new day to be explored”.

Have a great day!

Special dating tip for eharmony.com: Keep your profile active and really tune into the matches that are sent your way. Be realistic in the area you’d be willing to move to for love, or even travel to for a date. Otherwise your effort counts for naught. Love comes in many shapes, be willing to make that initial connection based on eharmony’s picks, not your own.
