" The Dull Men's Club is now a comfort zone for self-described dull men and women worldwide. More than 1.5 million members post about their latest boring pursuits on the group's Facebook page and submit ideas to Click for the Dull Men's Club website.
Click often posts about his own dull adventures, including the times he has participated in pea-throwing contests in the U.K., which is exactly what it sounds like. "We have a thing about peas in England," Click explained."
" Last night, while making calzones for my family, I came across the end shaving of a pepperoni and I was absolutely delighted," a woman in her late 20s posted, getting 52 likes."
"I've been enjoying this wall for quite some time, hope you like it too!" wrote another member, posting a closeup video of his bland beige surroundings. He received 37 comments, and his post was shared twice."
" Click said he is baffled but delighted at the success of the Dull Men's Club. He's put out several calendars featuring some of the group's members, from a California woman who has an obsession with "wet floor" signs to a New York City man who collects security envelopes."
"I guess it's a self-assessment thing," he said. "If you're thinking you'd be a good member of the Dull Men's Club, then you're probably already a member."
"I should point out that we're not dullards, we're dullsters," he added. "Dullster is the perfect word. It's the opposite of hipster."
"Click said he recently submitted his new word for consideration by the Oxford Dictionary selection committee. He hasn't heard back yet."
