30 WAYS TO GET A HUSBAND ACCORDING TO A 1958 ARTICLE

BY SUNNY DEVONS

The world has come a long way from how thing, are expected to be and what are in fact called societal norms. Back then, an unmarried woman was considered faulty. If she wasn't married by the age of twenty-five, people automatically assume that the woman was the problem, not taking into consideration that men were also to be blamed.

This article shows just how unfair the world has been to women and girls alike and just how far we've changed. In the US alone today, at least, there are about eighteen million women over the age of eighteen who are still waiting for a marriage proposal, presumably, the vast majority of them would like to be.

From getting a Sunburn and learning to play poker, to crying in the corner of a room...This article is reflective general. The comparison of what was acceptable then and what is acceptable now is fascinating.

It's also made me grateful so much progress has been made.

This is preposterous. It shouldn't even be in existence.

Norma Libey March 7th 2025 at 3:22

My mom told me a man wants most what is just out of his reach and not to give him what he wants until you have his ring on your finger...And tomorrow we'll celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. You women of today—don't give yourself away before you have a ring on your finger, because you don't value yourself, how will he value you?

Little Sips March 7th 2025 at 4:00

Well, things were better back then, so...maybe what we consider cringeworthy shouldn't be—

Erica Moore March 7th 2025 at 4:10

This whole list is littered with wct, but my personal favorite (#2) has me randomly has me bursting into laughing fits since I read it.

Lyram Lynns March 7th 2025 at 4:11

No. 16 dropping a handkerchief still works 😂😂😂. Don't think kleenex has the same romantic effects...unless you are a contagious bug. 😂😂😂

Jane Stewart March 8th 2025 at 7:00

What do I need a husband for? And stowaway? Until you're caught and court martialed my the military.

Rita Henley March 8th 2025 at 7:15

Rent a billboard? A sure fire way to attract psychos 😂😂😂

Rebecca Clark March 8th 2025 at 8:10

Now you don't even have to try. Just by being in their presence makes them go crazy.

Veronica Steele March 8th 2025 at 8:14

Crazy is what it is.

Mindy Mints March 9th 2025 at 9:15

Who's willing to be our guinea pig? Try it and let's see if it works.

Vanessa Smith March 12th 2025 at 12:45

My aunt Lindsay fell off a bike in front of her husband's shop and never looked back 😒

Jane Doe March 12th 2025 at 12:50

I'd like to read about someone's attempt at trying out everything on the list though.

Mindy Mints replied to Jane Doe March 12th 2025 at 12:59

It's either you get that ring on your finger or end up in a federal prison for stowing away on a military vessel or an intervention meeting with friends who have been very concerned with you're recent dating profile.

Jane Doe replied to Mindy Mints March 12th 2025 at 1:15

It is outdated and absurd and funny. I can't wait to see if they try it out.

You're right! Awful that women are portrayed in this way and valued so low. There's so much more to a person and to life than being married or a play thing.

Dwayne1 March 12th 2025 at 5:00

Shhh...today's women think you're talking badly about and stereotyping them.

Half of these are instructions on how to get raped and murdered.

Summer Villani March 12th 2025 at 7:05

My thoughts exactly.

Robert Wiresen March 12th 2025 at 8;06

I just a sunburnt girl in high heels who cries in a corner and is good looking at drinking. Lol

Girl in on fire March 13th 2025 at 7:23

"Point out to him that the death rate of single men is twice that of the married men." Lmao, I pick up boys all the time with death statistics! 😉

Emira March 13th 2025 at 7:24

#5 'don't be afraid to associate more attractive girls; they may have some left overs'. What the hell?! LoL.

Jenine B March 13th 2025 at 12:54

That looks like some crazy mix of desperation and most-used clichés from romantic comedies.
