Just come across an episode of this programme.
Woman choosing between a group of men, none of whom seem attractive to me but who might be attractive if you engaged them in conversation fully dressed!

She chose a bloke who looked like something from the adams family and he was dull as fuck when they went on a date.

I don't get it! Who ever thought this was a good idea??????

It’s all a bit wrong isn’t it.
I don’t know how anyone could ever think that it is a good idea to go on a show like this.
Some of the contestants have pretty normal jobs and I wonder what it was like going to the office the day after it was on.

mnahmnah · 26/02/2021 22:50

I can highly recommend watching this. Hilarious.

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 26/02/2021 22:50

Yes!!!!

Now a woman is blindfolded and sniffing blokes armpits! I am so glad that i met my dh 30 years ago when a lovely smile and good conversation was what mattered.

So, oddly in the trailers/clips is footage of a contestant that lives locally to us that DH knew through work. But the full episode with her in never appears to have aired. We wondered if they didn't show people in their home region..!

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 26/02/2021 22:59

Yes perhaps!

I am just fascinated but in a horrified way

Somebody I work with went on this. Never got picked but everybody saw wayyyy more of her than we wanted to

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 26/02/2021 23:22

What happened when she came into work after? Was it it super awkward? Did people gossip about her? Did anyone take her seriously professionally?

Yes, I can imagine lots of awkward bumbling conversations and no one knowing where to look.

I only ever saw one episode and did not like the comments about genitalia.

Bluntness100 · 27/02/2021 07:00

I can’t watch it, I cringe so, so hard. I have no idea at all what makes people want to get butt naked and have their genitalia discussed on tv.

It’s like these people who go on embarrassing bodies. They give it “I’m too embarrassed to go to my doctor” then lay there with a camera crew videoing it as they discuss it with the programs doctor, and displaying it for the world to see. It’s like “well you got over that embarrassment pretty damn quick” .

groundcontroltomontydon · 27/02/2021 07:22

It makes me nostalgic for the days when people would do anything to get their face on TV. Now the camera doesn't even pan up that far.

SmallPrawnEnergy · 27/02/2021 07:34

I understand embarrassing bodies a bit more. Usually it’s not a case of “I’m too embarrassed to go to a doctor” it’s “I’ve been trying to get this issue fixed for years on the nhs and getting nowhere and this is my own chance at private treatment” ... another show that revels in the misery of poor people.

There’s something cringe-illy intriguing about NA though, but why anyone would go on it is beyond me. 15 mins of “fame”?

SmallPrawnEnergy · 27/02/2021 07:35

Only not own

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 27/02/2021 08:34

@jackieweaverhasALLtheauthority Bloody fab username btw ! It was awful ...she came in more bolshier than normal, and just had that air about her as if to say "I'm amazing, come and challenge me about it". She wasn't so bolshy when she got hauled up in front of the bosses. Needless to say, it was done in her personal time, and there was nothing they could do about it. But her attitude after it aired was so bad, that was what the rest of he staff couldn't bear. She eventually left

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 27/02/2021 08:34

And they spend all that time scrutinising body parts and then go on a date and are all " oh there was no chemistry"

No bloody wonder!

It’s all the completely shorn fannies that gets me, looks like a load of extra-large prepubescent girls 🤮. A couple of them had very obvious shaving rash too. Saw about 5 mins of it a few weeks ago and they were talking about vaginas as if they could see them, wtf?

I've said the same! I came across NA as we left the tv on after first dates once.i wouldnt make a habit of watching it.
I dont know what baffles me more - the fact that enough people want to literally bare all to make it a viable tv show , or that people would actually choose/exclude dating a person based on their genitals!Confused
I've also wondered what it would be like if you saw someone you knew...

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 27/02/2021 09:10

@Sittinbythetree

Last night the woman rejected men for having body hair. She wanted shaved balls and willies and it made me wantvto boak. Cover them up! The hair is there for a reason!

MistakenAgain · 27/02/2021 09:17

LWith reality TV it kind of came out of doing something with the surveillance camera idea and cult of the individual personality. This has taken the visual online dating idea and ideal of the perfect body.

It's titillation and has no substance. However as a young person I guess you might watch it. I mean if there was 'Naked Attraction over 50s' I can't lie that I would not be curious.

Anna12345678910 · 27/02/2021 09:21

I suppose it does help some that think they have to be 'perfect' see that there are a vast array of different bodies. Not all like the media show.
It is a bit grim and takes quite a lot of x to go on there

Ilovemaisie · 27/02/2021 09:21

Mistaken they frequently have over 50's on. It's...errr....
I have no words Grin

Ilovemaisie · 27/02/2021 09:23

Oh dear....by saying 'frequently' makes me sound like I watch it all the time. I don't. Honestly Grin
