The Simple Joys of the Dull Men’s Club

If you don’t fancy sports, dance lessons or reading groups, there may be a place for you yet. Introducing: The Dull Men’s Club-a global group where embracing “boring” hobbies is celebrated. But what exactly constitutes dullness? As the club's founder Grover Click tells us, members have been known to collect milk bottles, take photos of roundabouts, follow brown street signs and seek out village water pumps. This club does not spice things up.

    This club is so important! Everyone finds enjoyment in so many different things and this place appreciates that! I'm Noah and my dull hobbies include being interested in everything which ends up to little to talk about any particular thing and stuffed animals. The latter where most young adult males don't care for much. But hey I have over 200? now and it's great.

And their interests give me a new perspective on things. I never noticed roundabouts as something interesting before, but seeing how someone is so intrigued by them makes me see them in a new light.

    Terrific. There is no such thing as a boring subject, just bored people. Living in the tornado-prone region of the United States I've long been fascinated with storm (also root) cellars.

    Not dull to me at all. It's not like my life is bloody exciting. Generally what I really like doing is 'testing' stuff. Speakers, cars, camera's, cheese, beer, you name it. And I love making mixtapes and dash cam compilations of the (relatively safe and boring) Dutch roads. I also have a thing for the London Underground and I like to find 8mm films (for projectors) that were once forgotten/left by people and contain unique material they filmed. All relatlively 'dull'. Sure, there's more I do. Photography, concerts, traveling but in general, I like hobbies that others may think are 'dull'.
