In 1958 McCall’s magazine printed an article entitled ‘129 ways to get a husband’

The article starts off with suggestions of where to find your prince charming:

“Be friendly with ugly men – handsome is as handsome does”

“associate with more attractive girls; they may have some leftovers !”

“learn to paint. Set up an easel outside engineering school”

“Stand in a corner and cry softly.”

“Buy a convertible. Men like to ride in them.”

“take good care of your health. Men don’t like girls who are ill.”

“Get a sunburn”

“Use the ashtray; don’t crush cigarettes in coffee cups!”

“don’t whine-girls who whine stay on the vine”

“learn to scale and clean fish”

“don’t be a pushover”

“remain innocent but not ignorant”

“learn to play poker”

“stow away on a battle ship!”

“rent a billboard”

“make and sell toupees”

 

If tinder or Plenty of Fish are not working for you, maybe you just need a little old school advice!
