But, not all pieces ofRendezvous From the mid-twentieth century is always relevant, especially for women.Old dating tips In the 1950s and 1960s, the supposed girls were more like property than people. As a result, the so-called rules for women have focused mainly on how to please a man and avoid confrontation at all costs. In this document, we gathered some of the most hilarious (and odious) dating tips that girls had really given decades.

1. The girls were encouraged to lie on their lineage if their parents were overweight.

A dating board offered in a 1958 issue ofMcCall. Read: "If your mother is fat, telling him that you take after your father." Yes, it's a direct quote and no, that's not all. The article continued to say that if your father was overweight too, "tell him you're adopted!"

4. Women who wanted to please their men were responsible for expressing their vegetable presentations.

TheGood HousekeepingThe article also noted: "If the vegetables are something, it can usually take or leave, surprise it with imaginative peas dotted with tiny white onions or gold carrots with a pinch of ginger." We are confused: Is it your husband or son?

InMargaret Bevans' The McCall Book of the Label of EverydayThe dating expert advised girls to accept help forever so as not to embarrass their dates.

He continued: "Clee-it long shorts from Bermuda in vibrating scratches that you can recognize three hundred meters away; embroider him a t-shirt with his club's badges; cut him a cloth helmet of the Aviator to keep the hair of his eyes. And when he comes back to you ... rub the cream of Lanolin on his knees. "Wow isveryspecific.
