As a 41 year old Aspie, should I apply to Take Me Out on ITV?

Topic.

Finally figured out how to download the application form and plan to fill it in at some point, is it worth bothering though? Would I get picked for a date with my age and lack of employment?

Answers on a postcard please! :D
 
I wouldn't, but I'm extremely camera-shy.

They might be interested in a situation like yours once, so not if it's been done already. And even then, they would be likely to want someone younger, depending on who they want to sell products to.
 
It's your call Rich.

I personally wouldn't be able to handle it. Far too much going on in the studio and the audience, lights, noise and chaos.
 
If you have no issue with being scrutinized and laughed at and just being in the public eye in a BIG WAY, then why not go for it?

You just need to be even more disabled than you already are and weird, so that they will accept you, because that is the way tv works; the crazier one is, the better viewing. Which, ironically if you are not accepted, hey that makes you virtually normal lol

That's the whole point of a forum, to ask for opinions from strangers.

Also, would you mind NOT using bad words on my topic?!

Define "normal"?! Sorry but this winds me up immensely, contrary to the opinion of clueless morons, us Aspies are just as "normal" as everybody else IMO.
 
Why not? If you're ok with the attention (much of which may well be negative) and with being laughed at by the general public, go for it! Chances are you won't get selected, but you don't lose anything but a bit of time.
