An insightful colleague of mine read my blog and thought this next topic would be more than appropriate to follow my last post. He stumbled upon an article that went over dating tips that were given to women in the 1930's. This article was published by Mail Online in attempts to share the differences between dating today and dating in the 30's. The results would astound you, especially if you were a feminist! Here are some of my favorites:
1. "Don't use the car mirror to fix your make-up. Man needs it in driving, and it annoys him very much to have to turn around to see what's behind him." God forbid us woman do anything that causes the guy any sort of hassle or extra work!
2. "If you need a brassiere, wear one. Don't tug at your girdle, and be careful your stockings are not wrinkled." So I guess this goes as back to the 30's that women have been trained to be prim and proper in front of guys. Don't give them the slightest insight that you can barely breath because your girdle is too tight in which you only wear for him so you won't show any imperfections!
3. "Dont' be familiar with your escort by caressing him in public. Any open show of affection is in bad taste, usually embarrasses or humiliates him." Another rule of thumb, don't show any affection because that is wrong and don't you dare think of doing anything to embarrass your male friend for that might turn him off completely! In that case, you might not get called back for a second date!
4. "Don't drink too much as a man expects you to keep your dignity all evening. Drinking may make some girls seem clever but most get silly." Yes, guys never say or do anything 'silly' when they drink either! Boy have the times changed, I think it would be safe to say that most men would now prefer their date to drink.

Find me a magazine article similar to this for guys? I can almost ensure that there is not one out there. So although guys may do most things in life in order to have a better sex appeal, women tend to alter their behavior and personality to better suite their male companion and to be a better mate, not just physically. These are now the facts, as far back as the '30's woman have been instilled in their minds to be more suitable for a man where as guys may feel that society has taught them that driving a Lamborghini may get them more play but has never taught them to change who they are just to impress a woman. So, for the guy out there driving an '88 Honda Civic coming off the red eye shift at McDonalds, you are going to find a great girl, someone who is more interested in the person you are rather than what brand name clothes your wearing. Hopefully this is the same girl who won't mind if her stockings are wrinkled and may have a few drinks over dinner! :)
