This ‘129 Ways To Get A Husband’ Article From 1958 Shows How Much The World Has Changed

What would come into your mind when I ask you to describe the 1950s? Would you have thought about how magazines advised women to seduce men in the 1950s? Kim Marx-Kuczynski, from Madison, Wisconsin, recently shared a 1958 McCall article, titled “129 Ways to Get a Husband” which would amaze you how the times have changed.

The text begins with the statement: “In the United States today there are sixteen million women over the age of seventeen who are not married,” which would make it evident that a vast majority of them would like to be married at that age.

The writer has asked 16 people to produce ideas on strategies that lonely women could use to grab the attention of men. Some of these tips, such as ordering rare steaks and not gossiping to crying in a corner of the room, and getting a hunting license do sound ok and make sense and some tips seem to be very questionable.

In the author’s defense, the magazine says that they did ask the participants to throw away their judgemental thoughts and write down their honest opinions.
