Way too exciting, it totally broke the flow for me.
I think once you are features in a guardian article, you arent dull anymore. Building model airplanes in a shed is dull. Being so good at building them that journalists take time to visit you is not.
Both have around 1.8M members. The smaller one features Andrew McKean, the main topic of that article. The other one--with the registered trademark symbol in the name on FB--appears to be more of a commercial enterprise, run by the Grover Click character.
I learned that the article is wrong on a point. All contemporary Dull Men's Clubs are copycats. The original is from 1980 and no longer exists.

What's funny is when you actually know people who are influencers, it turns out their lives actually are nothing like what it is online! I think we are all a lot more dull than some would like to admit.
I think their lives look extremely dull online too. Prisoners of the most mediocre algorithms
Aw man, this sounded like just my kind of place. But... > It’s a sentiment eagerly embraced by The Dull Men’s Club.

You consume the condensed moments from hours and days of time from other people's experiences in real time in your own life- you can see cute pets, exotic pets, funny moments, beautiful people all in a minute or five of boring, slow-ass real-time.
I am a dull man by every measure. I don't have interesting hobbies, I am not an influencer, I don't post interesting posts on social media and I don't travel a lot, I don't do extreme things, I barely have any money at the moment, I bore others, in fact when I try to amuse my colleagues or the opposite sex, my jokes regularly fall flat and even my voice is dull I believe.
