'How to get a husband': Cringeworthy 1950s dating article advises women to 'cry softly in a corner' and 'stumble into a room' to attract eligible men

A 1958 magazine article advising women on how to attract a partner has surfaced on the internet, triggering a frenzy across social media.
Titled '129 Ways to Get a Husband', the feature in American magazine McCall's included a varied body of tips ranging from bizarre and desperate to downright sexist and politically incorrect.
One of the more outrageous instructions told women to be flexible about their potential partner's decisions: 'If he decides to skip the dance and go rowing on the lake, GO – even if you are wearing your best evening gown'.

How things change. Crying softly in the corner is what I have to do to get fed most nights.

You know how a British woman cleans her ass?
She waits for him to get drunk, then throws him in the tub.
Cheers, mate!

Listening to a bunch of losers who have a disgraceful history mocking us for an article 70 years ago is bullshit.

It's not purposeful @Frank Cannon It's for entertainment only.

Agree but you're not passing out candy tonight, are you?

Poor baby! I was raised a preacher's kid. I feed whatever comes thru the door since that was the rule at our house.
-
Cringeworthy indeed...the article should be titled "How to Come Across as Desperate" ... OR "How NOT to Get A Husband".
-

No. I hide in the bushes with an air horn and yell at the kids cutting across my lawn.
-
The idea to get a convertible sounds good to me. :cool:
Some of these ideas aren't terrible. Take up hiking, learn to bake pies. No man can resist a good apple pie and you have to burn the calories somehow.
That said I'll leave the real evaluation to the womenfolk, this is a game I cannot understand as far as I can tell they use magic.

He seems his usual charming self to me.

My, how "woke" feminism and political correctness has changed what used to be the "standard" of the day to "cringeworthy" today. Times change, people change...what a bunch of politically cowrecked snowflakes...piss off wankers. Always looking for something to be "offended" about...sick of this BS.

Thought you were supposed to spray it in the air. Well, that explains some things.

Feminists have run out of stuff to get pissed off about so they had to dig up an article from the 1950's.

Today's women don't want husbands. They may want their money or status, but marriage is just an inconvenience to the millennial woman.

Maybe you should go looking for a cougar.

I've always figured it was weak, stupid men who were looking for weak, stupid women.
Back in the fifties, there were a lot of them, apparently.... happy77

I tell you times have changed. From what I saw from girls pursuing my son?
Women have become exponentially more aggressive uhhhhh... socially in the past 40 years.

Not from what I see. Young women today are crying out for romance and marriage. Don't let the feminazi media mislead you.
Several of my mid 20's nieces are married. One just had baby and the other one is 4 months pregnant. A third was married several months back. All college educated gals with full time jobs. Most of their friends are either married or engaged.
Why do you think the Hallmark channel is so popular among women today? The movies portray romance, marriage and commitment.

"Let it be known in your office that you have a button box and will sew on bachelors' loose buttons!"

"Mad"? Yeah about how far back SJW's have to go to generate controversy in this "brave new world". But in reality, it appears you missed the crux of my post. Hope you had fun attempting to mock the statement though. Later...it's past 0 beer 30 and I'm doing fine.
