Dating website 'for ugly people' celebrating first engagement
By Andrew Hough


Tom Clifford and Janine Walker plan to marry in December following
a whirlwind online romance, less than a month after meeting on
theuglybugball website


Tom Clifford and Janine Walker, who say they have ''great personalities", plan to marry later this year following a whirlwind online romance. The couple met less than a month ago on www.theuglybugball.com - a dating website for the "aesthetically challenged". But after four dates they became engaged earlier this week.

Now the pair, who enjoyoed a mutual love of junk food and TV dinners, are planning a winter wedding near their respective homes in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.

Mr Clifford, 36, a carpet fitter who has a ''face that makes children cry'', said: ''I've been a joke to women for years because of the way I look. I always thought that I was too ugly to meet Mrs Right but my life changed when I met Janine. She's beautiful and I love her in every possible way. I still can't believe this is happening."

Mr Clifford, who has been single since 1998, spotted Janine, 31, on the site in late August.

5. Agree, but it's sad that's how they've come to think of themselves. Wish I could
just give them a hug. -- But now they have each other to hug and that's so wonderful!

9. Dude looks like James May plus a few stone.
With a proper haircut he might not make children cry anymore.

Much happiness to both.

10. I find it sad that there is a need for a separate web site.
I find it even sadder that people need these meet up web sites at all.

I wish them happiness.

16. Definitely hideously ugly on the inside
Can't comment on what they look like physically as I'm fortunate enough to have never met one.

17. They probably have a much healthier relationship than many of
these "genetic lottery winners" who consider themselves to be God's gift to society, and are vain beyond belief!

26. They are not at all ugly; they're just overweight, which can be changed. nt

27. "too ugly to meet Mrs Right but my life changed when I met Janine. She's beautiful"
If he met Mrs Right, then wouldn't she have to get a divorce from Mr Right before Tom could marry her? Also, if Janine is beautiful, then why was she permitted on a dating website for ugly people? Where's the quality control?

32. They have inner beauty
look like fun people.

If only they would have a dating service for inner ugliness.
