We've come a long way baby, from 1938.
I pretty much knew a date was over when the girl ran away screaming.
And that was the blind dates at their front door.
I have a book called The Art of Dating from the 1950’s.
It says that after marriage the man will have needs. The women may or may not actively participate in the process.
They always laugh at this stuff like the Radfem culture today is so superior.
During a blind date, my sister excused herself saying she was going to the restroom, leaving her date at the dinner table. She went home. He had voted for Clinton.
Was that wrong? Should she not have done that? ;)
Outrageous! LOL
Every year our Catholic girls high school gave us a week off normal studies and brought in an etiquette coach. Many of what she taught I still remember, like never looking behind you for a chair, but just moving your leg back until you felt the chair, and then sitting gracefully.
On dating, we were told to wait in the car for the boy to open the door. But we were also warned that it was okay to get out ourselves after half an hour.
On dressing for a date we were told that if the fashion was to paint your ear lobes gold, we should wait until EVERYONE had painted their ear lobes and then to paint ours a pale gold.
The idea that “strong independent” feminists of the last 2-3 generations are happier than women in the 30s is laughable. Statistics alone bear out what a disaster 3rd wave feminism has been. It gave us Hillarious and her ilk...need I say more? Men today have wised up, and are pushing back in a big way. Gig’s up, girls.
I’m a girl and even I think that date’s boobs look weird.
LOL, looks like she's holding a cellphone.
In college, I dated one girl a couple of times. We went back to her place on the second date. She pulls out HER black book. Had phone numbers for 100’s of guys. I don’t know what her point was of showing it to me, but I took it as I wasn’t that special.
Needless to say, I didn’t call her back.
Um, no. My mother was in her 20s when this guide was published and she passed these tips along to us boys in the 1960s. Nothing wrong with them.

Most of this sounds dated, but it is still good advice for people, not just for women.
- grooming in front of your date looks bad, male or female
- drinking excessively is also a bad idea. If you can’t tolerate your date while sober, end the date.
- both crying and looking bored are rude, again whether male or female. If you cannot even pretend interest while looking for a better topic, end the date
- flirting with another person during a date is rude
I don’t see most of the advice as unique to women only. Don’t adjust your bra in front of him? Okay. But men should not adjust their anatomy either. The only advice that does not have a close parallel for men is bad advice for women too. No, I don’t want to date a woman who sits in an uncomfortable position to “appeal” to me, nor do I want to talk with a woman who fakes interest in a topic instead of looking for a topic that is a shared interest.
They had iPhones in 1938? Check out that first photo and tell me she’s not a time traveler.
There used to be a freeper singles ping list years ago. I wonder whatever happened to it. Threads like this always bring out a lot of complaints about women. Maybe if someone brought that back, freepers could look here for like-minded individuals.
