People tend to forget these things were mostly written by women. They are kind of hilarious though.

Thank goodness this feels dated, now that all these expectations are unspoken, sublimated, and self-policed. Huzzah, progress!
scottjaeger
I like when they refer to "Man" with no article, also passing out from too much liquor is kind of trashy...
QueenCole
"The last straw is to pass out from too much liquor." You don't say?
whodoesthisguythinkheis
For these were simpler times when your worst fear after passing out drunk was that he might not call you the next day.

It's true. I hate tears. Women should cry in the washing room, not in public places.
tomyironmane
"by working on his emotions." seems to suggest more that she's trying to game him.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
You're assuming we can control it. How about helping her feel better?
AdvonKoulthar
You can control your legs too
treasuretrove999
Boo hoo.Stop crying about it. (Haha see what I did there)
Grosslyunpopular
“Be careful your stockings aren’t wrinkled” is the only advise I would actually take, but because I would notice, not a man.
ChemicalPorpoise
The gum thing is good practice everywhere. Because everyone notices when you smack your gum, Karen. Everyone. No one thinks it's cool Karen!

“Hey lady, did you even iron those stockings? Golly, they look in attractive.” End date

You don't notice things too much, but you also do. If either partner doesn't wear nicely prepared clothing, you subconsciously recognise it.

My mom and I had the "if you need a brassiere , wear one" talk when I was 11...that's actually good advice for life

She skipped the burn your bras feminist movement because she "liked to have some support"

"Wear what is comfortable" sounds more sane than "THIS WOMAN DESIGNED SUPPORT GARMENT IS AN OPPRESION OF THE PATRIARCHY!!1

Punch them in the jaw and run
zamielvanweber
To be fair sometimes the advise is really good. My fave are makeup ads though: they generally tell you how you are ugly and what to do to(1)
zamielvanweber
un-uglify yourself. I always wonder if a makeup campaign based on your products ability to enhance your natural beauty would work better.(2)

I too prefer someone not take my rearview mirror while I’m driving.
NotExplosive
Me too. It sure does annoy me to have to turn around to see what's behind me.

I'm more concerned people are turning all the way around while driving

I don't like it either. And I'm a girl.

That's why all the cars I've driven have had a mirror in the passenger sun guard.

Yes, man needs it.

But, what if I'm les?
tomyironmane
Good manners and proper respect for her time are universal. This still applies. Check the guy dating manual if you're feeling bull-dyke.
FlatPlutoSociety
According to the people who wrote these tips? "Be patient, you just haven't met the right man yet."
ticktockbent
Then why are you looking at dating tips for pleasing men? Are you confuse?
flushtownfandom
then you shouldn't wear a bra, get really drunk, and be very public when you are getting intimate
RandyRoxanne
Sounds like a typical Friday night
grantavius
It is still your responsibility to focus on pleasing the man...apparently. Also lesbians didn't exist in the 1940's when this was written.
MrRavellon
Most of those aren't really gendered. Don't use rear view mirror, be attentive towards your partner during the date, don't try to /
MrRavellon
/emotionally manipulate them and so on. Basically, be respectful. Otherwise you don't deserve respect in return.
iPretend
I’d like to read tips for men from this era and see if they are equally terrible
MrRavellon
What exact advice here is terrible? And why?
iPretend
It’s just all phrased like men are a monolith and can only be pleased by certain behavior rather than by being yourself.
MrRavellon
It's not that men are pleased by certain behaviour. It's that people in general tend to be displeased by certain behaviour.
Queenofspiders
You're... you're kidding right?
MrRavellon
No. "Don't emotionally manipulate your date", "Pay attention to your date and not to some other person", "Don't slump", "Don't be late", /
MrRavellon
/"Don't use rear view mirror if you're a passenger", "Don't focus on yourself", "Don't drink yourself under the table" - all good advice.
Queenofspiders
True. But then there's "please and flatter your date by talking about things that he wants to talk about"
saturos01
The advice isn't bad, it's just sexist because it's for women to cater to men, rather than cater to your date. Prepare for downvotes anyway.
MrRavellon
You do realise it is advice for women by women on how not to blow their first date?
saturos01
Yeah, but it doesn't matter who's giving the advice though does it?
MrRavellon
Not really. But it also does not matter that some people see it as sexist. If it is good advice - it is good advice.
mechanimated
It's pretty bad, a lot of it. Certainly talking only about what your date is interested in is an awful idea.
MrRavellon
It's actually a good idea. You learn what your date is interested in and you make a good impression.
mechanimated
By sacrificing all semblance of independence and individuality...?
applesforjuice
Well, yeah. It's for women. Men also need to cater to their date, but this is the advice for women.
jjm152
Well, it's advice for women. Presumably there would be advice for men as well.
MrRavellon
Advice for men is all of the "How to treat the women properly" ideas that suffused society at the time (and even now in part)
MrRavellon
Also, being downvoted for silly reasons amuses me.
Feeddabear
It blows my mind that people who bought this are still alive.
Roboholic
Why? Women in certain countries have it way worse today
squidnib879
it seems so dated but it was only like 50 or so years ago, that's what feels wild to me
JustJacque
I dunno some are sound. When I want to dance I want to dance.
frankxcid
That would be 70 years ago
MrRavellon
Most of them are good advice though.
heebiejeepie
Her date's a stone-faced jerk. Be yourself, girls. That's the only thing that makes 'dating' work. I

MrRavellon
/you barely know?
tomyironmane
Don't get down on those of us who have had the ability to show emotion or pain literally beaten out of us.
heebiejeepie
I wouldn't ever do that. This post was supposedly an official dating guide for from
tomyironmane
You called the guy a stone-faced jerk. What the hell did he do besides go on a date with a woman with possibly questionable manners?
heebiejeepie
As a how-to guide it had to go a little over the top to have impact. I took it at face value (common in Imgur comments). Regret the offense.

Seems like you're dating the wrong women, then.

I tried to carry one once because my dad does, but it's really impractical and gets gross. I'd rather have paper towels/napkins, or tissues.
MyTrashCanIsFull
Well you have to wash them when they've been used...
MackdomblesDarbleChaiseBarga
After carrying around a snot filled piece of cloth the rest of the day? No thank you, I'll stick to disposable options.
MyTrashCanIsFull
I carry one and I'll just say I only really use it as a last resort- for that reason. Very useful during allergy season though
