TheUglyBugBall Review

TheUglyBugBall is an online dating site for those who are “aesthetically challenged” (aka ugly). So the appeal of the site is for ugly people who want to get to know other “great personalities” without the fear of being shot down like they would expect to be on other online dating sites. However, that’s not quite how this site worked out. Instead of being filled with ugly people, the site is filled with people who have deemed themselves ugly. I mean sure, there’s not a whole lot of lookers obviously, but I was incredibly surprised to see that the members were not all that bad. I would say most members are a solid “average” at least. If you’re legitimately trying to meet singles who are ugly, I honestly don’t know where you should look, but this is not the place. This is a place for sad losers with no self-esteem.

The Bad

What started out as probably an online dating site with good intentions, ended up becoming a niche site for losers. NOT ugly people – losers. People with low self-esteem and no self-worth, who deem themselves “ugly” because they can’t handle the competition of mainstream online dating. This site is just full of sad, pathetic people. TheUglyBugBall is a niche dating site that doesn’t work. Niche dating sites can come in handy when you’re looking for someone who shares your alternative lifestyle, or relates to your needs (food allergies, physical disabilities, diseases, etc.), but if you’re just looking for ugly people? C’mon. You can find ugly people everywhere.

They are also fairly expensive for a niche dating site. In terms of regular online dating, they are basically on par with others, but if you’re going  to charge someone for using a site with way less members and way less features, it should probably cost way less money too.
