Terrible "How to Get a Husband" Advice from a 1958 Women's Magazine
from Cooper and Anthony Show · host Cooper Lawrence, Anthony Michaels
Someone found an old magazine article from the '50s called "129 Ways to Get a Husband." And a lot of the suggestions are just ridiculous and sexist. Like one of them that just says, "Be friendly to ugly men." They're all from a 1958 issue of the women's magazine "McCall's", which went out of print in 2002. Here are a few more BAD pieces of advice on how to find a guy . . . 1. "Get a job demonstrating fishing tackle in a sporting goods store." 2. "Get lost at a football game." 3. "Don't take a job at a company run mostly by women." 4. "Learn to paint, [then] set up an easel outside an engineering school." 5. "Read the obituaries to find eligible widowers." 6. "Wear a Band-Aid. People always ask what happened." 7. "Stand in a corner and cry softly. Chances are good that he'll come over to find out what's wrong." 8. "Get a sunburn." (???)
