wow. well, not much has changed, has it? Except for the girdles. ouch.

that’s why this is 2009 and not 1942….

First

@Creeze

well maybe if u girls werent so fake, and did other things then put chemicals on your face to seem pretty. its as fun as watching paint dry, cause it basically is…..

Women. Know your limits!!

thtguy: And when women aren’t “fake” and don’t “put chemicals on their face” like you expect them to, you go “feminazi dyke hurrdurr.”

What’s he writing in that little book?

I think he’s writing: “This girl is a blast. I need to call her again and get her hone before she passes out next time!”

@thtGuy
Way to apply a dumb blanket statement to half the world’s population! Congratulations, you’re an idiot!

@Wing Girl Kim
A shitload has changed, my dear, unless you live in an oppressive backwards situation. The biggest change is that women nowdays do not give a shit about this kind of thing, because, guess what, we’re now considered HUMANS, not just decorative pieces! Any woman who still complies with idiotic crap like this is an idiot herself and should really reconsider before she throws her life away on some a**hole.

The hell?

Is that Mr. Bean in the bottom image?

We want, but probably don’t deserve your full attention

“Watching supposedly strong women clamor for the remaining ineffectual available men after their sexual attractiveness has begun to diminish is sport for us men tortured by the constant whining of the average feminist.”

I’m just absolutely astounded that you seem to have written this in earnest. You really do buy into that stereotype of the whining man-hating feminist, don’t you? How sad. Truth is, the average feminist is in a happy relationship with a man who probably also happens to be a feminist. I’m sure that just sounds crazy to you, a man believing in women’s equal rights, since you are obviously still living in 1938. If that’s a “wimpy husband no other woman wanted”, I’d like to see the piece of work you wound up with.

obviously fake, probably made this year. stuff from 1938 wasn’t cornball humor making fun of what our idea of that time period was. this is far too self-aware for 1938, sorry dudes.

Anybody who thinks this is fake has been ruined by Internet blogs. For goodness sake you can even see the crease where the pages are bound together.

While some of the specific advice given is obviously dated (who wears a girdle anymore), the overall point is to be considerate and thoughtful of your date rather than focused on and thinking about yourself, but at the same time, try to be at your best both in appearance and demeanor. That remains good dating advice, in any decade, for both men and women.

I’m getting in a time machine and going back to the ’30s when women’s breasts bounced around like two puppies fighting under a blanket! “if you NEED a bra”… WTH does that mean, even flat chested women don’t want their nips poking out right?

@Ensigh Howard

AMEN ENSIGH HOWARD!
That is why I have 2 wonderful Black Labradors, NOT children OR a husband.
The ex-husband was bad enough after a 3 MONTH marriage-yup 3 months later he said,
“I think I made a mistake.” Strange, since he helped plan about 90% of the wedding, and we were in our mid to late 30’s. I give up on men…TRULY, SAD AS IT IS. I TOTALLY understand women in their 40’s getting involved with other women.

The average Disney flick of the last 30 years has 10x the social programming for girls. This instruction manual at least doesn’t hide its intent.

@lucy I’m usually all for ending a sentence with a preposition, but in your case, I take it back.

@SanityInjection
The photos are in awfully high definition for the 1930s.

Feminism is NOT an excuse for man hating. Sadly its what it seems to be more often than not.

And if you think women are not considered objects, you are F***ing crazy. Hello p0rn, Hello Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler etc…

Women have become bitches, treat men like crap, then cry boo hoo when they are alone.

While I agree that women should have the right to be equal, to vote, to receive equal pay for doing the same job. I also think much of the good parts of life are gone. Women now have to keep house, make dinner, raise the kids AND hold a full time job. How is that better than being able to to keep house, raise kids pursue your dreams/school/whatever. Women back in the day had outlets, clubs, events, friends and did pretty much what they wanted… Women did marvelous things, Hello Madame Curie, Amelia Earheart etc. The list is endless.

In our world, we are all slave to the wage and honestly no one is happy. More and more families are broken and the women are single and doing it alone. Constantly I am shocked and amazed at the behavior of women in general. The ‘What have you done for me lately” attitude is appalling. So is the “Oh I can do it alone, who needs a man” Yeah no wonder you are divorced and alone…and if everyone was so happy without a man, why are there so many dating sites? Everyone is so busy looking for someone to be with. Just sayin.

I have worked, I have raised kids, I have even worked in a male dominated field…but honestly, Im happiest making my man happy. In keeping him happy, he keeps me VERY HAPPY! Its a nice win win thing.

@Anon – Totaly agreed
These tips are totally valid. It is just showing class. Nowadays that might be considered oldfashioned, but thats just because the standards have dropped. Men who are looking to have a bit of fun with you, would ofcourse love it if you behave badly. That means easier to get. The guys that are seriously interrested would look for signs of good character. So it just depends what you’re fishing for.

The problem nowadays with equality is that instead of men being held up to high standards as woman used to be, the woman instead are demanding the right to behave as badly as some men. Ofcourse that right can not be denied, as men do behave badly often, but like anon said, no one wins. No one is really happy in that kind of behaviour in the longer term.

If you would put these rules for men, I think that most woman would agree that they want a date to behave like that. Or would you also feel men are not considered humans when they are told to behave decently if they want to impress a girl?

These are dating tips for women who (presumably since they need/search for/use dating advice) want a guy to like them. Its just advise, and not particularly bad or degrading advice. Some of them are outdated or (I believe) irrelevant. Of course that’s presuming it is just someone you’re going on a date with not a person you’re in a relationship with. Most people modify their behavior based on dates.

What a silly bunch of advice. I especially like how the rear view mirror is OMFGSOIMPORTANT that you can’t fix your makeup in it and women couldn’t possibly know how to drive or know what a rear view mirror was used for. Don’t these 1930s men look behind them to cover the blind spot?

@Nicky
1938 was very gay

I am only wondering what this bitch is doing out of the kitchen!!!!!

feminist are funny….. its funny because no one takes you serious and we all just laugh at you.

Pic related…. thats my bitch…… err..wrong website… you raff you roose

@Canuck
But, you need the sperm from a man.
How do you like them apples?

Felch Grogan and all the pseudo males who dust off stupid shit from any era or nutcase garbage bin are trolling here. These boys think they are slick. Too many women get sucked into some superficial tripe about dating. We have the global problem of rape, enslavement of women, child prostitution, circumcision, brutality and war profiteering polluters and I’ll just bet these boys are draft dodgers too. Wanting to be a rich guy and f***ing as many females as possible is what the so called mens rights boys are all about. Cooperation and sustainability are not their guiding principles but misogyny and deceit are the guiding principles of a patriarch and anti-feminist. Hiding behind noble Atheism is something I shall not tolerate you dicks. I’m warning my tow daughters and every sane woman I can about you all.

@Colin
Wow at least one homie here actually got it.

Ok. Obviously some of you people haven’t heard of the whole “separate spheres” concept back in the late nineteenth century. Read some Fanny Fern or Sara Grimke. Get some goddamn culture before you spout off about womens’ rights and abilities.

Looks to me like there’s a lot of men who don’t stand much chance of getting laid ever again (those who think the advice given was good, ie. ten commandments of dating) Hope you’ve got good rhythm in your dominant hand.

There is a difference between chauvinism and etiquette and, quite frankly, I don’t think I want to live in a world without etiquette.

Guys, stop making a big deal of this. It’s a blog post, chill.

Funny pictures, but, unless you’ve got neither sense nor sensibility, this advice still applies.

@Cupid
How about instead of griping about how long it takes a girl to put on makeup and how long it takes her to accessorize, you shut up and enjoy the fact that a girl is putting that much time and effort to get your wang to rise. Don’t tell me if a girl went to a date unkept in wrinkly clothes that were mismatched, hair undone, bags under the eyes, and no makeup, that you would be happy to show her off on the town. Unless, of course, you like dating slobs.
AS girls, though, I have always started getting ready so I would be ready before the date instead of making him wait… cuz that’s just rude. But you’re darned right I’m painting on my makeup and taking my sweet time accessorizing!

@Nicky
No. Men do not like to watch you get dressed.
Where the hell would you pick up a stupid idea like that?

Is that a young Benny Hill in those pics?

I’m amazed at the ignorance of some of the commenters here. I’m going to ignore some of the most obnoxious comments that are most likely trolling and respond to some of the comments that I believe were made in earnest.

First of all, if you are a “feminist,” you simply want equality between men and women. I think it’s fair to say that most rational, intelligent people are feminists. Those who are critiquing feminism are most likely feminists themselves (with the exception of the few blatant misogynists on here…) Feminists tend to get a bad name because some of the most outspoken feminists are the most radical. Not all feminists are like that.

Also, for those who seem to think that women are completely equal to men at this point in time, are you serious? Look at college professors, for example. Women and minorities are almost always underrepresented in a university setting. Males are often offered tenure before their female counterparts and they almost always make more money (even when the difference in tenure is accounted for). Similarly, when asked about levels of dissatisfaction in the workplace, women professors often score much higher than their male counterparts.

Finally, I’d just like to say that, as a feminist, I find many of these tips to be really humorous. Many of them still apply today. “Don’t drink too much,” for example, is probably good advice on any sort of a date…

While some of this does seem a bit outdated. (no talking while dancing? sounds like awkward silence to me.) some of it is less sexist and more… Common sense.
So I re-wrote it with a more modern mature woman take. If you don’t like it or don’t agree with it, that’s your opinion. Just keep in mind: If you disagree with me, Then others very well disagree with you (Very possibly that hot guy you’ve been wanting to get with for the past year/month/week/you-just-saw-him-at-the-gym).

1) Dressing in front of a guy you aren’t intimate with just makes you seem like a tease. Unless it’s post-coitus or you’ve been married for a good while, Have some heart!

2.)Messing up a guy’s good handkerchief (as if they use them anymore.) is silly. Some guys will allow it to seem chivalrous though. then again, they’re not used. So just bring your own Kleenex.

3.) Now, unless you’re spreading your legs, belching, and stuffing a hand down your pants Al Bundy style, there’s no reason not to be comfortable in how you sit. especially since most women aren’t expected to wear skirts now.

4.) and no, careless women really aren’t appealing, except in very small (Oh how cute!) doses. if you’re going to fall all over yourself.. maybe you should have your ears checked out. (equilibrium’s a bad thing to mess up.) But talking while dancing? If you know what you’re doing, Go for it. otherwise it can be a very awkward silence.

5.)If you need to wear a bra.. WEAR ONE. No one wants to see your saggy breasts, and it’s just embarrassing if it gets cold enough to make one a bit.. Nip-ply.

6.) Don’t use the car mirror, they have passenger side lighted mirrors in most cars now, so why bother getting into an accident over a bit of lipstick.

7.) PDA (Public display of affection) Can be embarrassing, not to you or your significant other or date; but to the surrounding public. Though in this day and age, unless you’re viciously making out in the middle of a crowded mall, a little hand-holding or cuddling isn’t even noticed by anyone.

8.) It’s not the tears he doesn’t like, it’s the being pushed (or even obviously manipulated) into a corner and into a situation he doesn’t like. No one who’s not a masochist likes this. It’s just an easy way to end the date (and relationship) early; because it makes you look like a manipulating twat.

9.) Now why would you be jerking the date around by talking about your exploits with the waiter, a person who you probably don’t even know! If you’re so loose with talking about other dates, You’d obviously be talkative about HIM. and that’s just not sexy.

10.) Let’s not stop at clothes.. If you’re engaging in a conversation that’s obviously ONE sided, it’s not fun for both parties. If you like to talk about your stuff so much, make sure he’s interested first. otherwise it makes you look like a selfish twat. and what person would want to hook up with someone who’s that narcissistic?

11.) Well, Drinking in and of itself is not to be done to excess with strangers, that’s the easiest way to end up pregnant, date raped, or dead. Now if you’re getting blitzed around comfortable people who’ll just take video of your escapades to show later? Go for it. ::Shrug::

12.)Don’t be conspicuous talking to other men means: Don’t flirt with other guys while in that blitzed state you weren’t supposed to be in anyway. If you’re that loose around other guys while drunk, you’re more than likely a slut, and unless the guy just wants to get laid and doesn’t care about other stuff, he’s likely to dump you and find other, less slutty girls.

I hope this clarifies most of the “Sexist” issues you’ve had with this post. Perhaps it’ll also shed some light on a lot of stuff for you. Of course, some of you who the light didn’t reach the dim recesses of your Cerebral intake might still find what I posted outdated and sexist. However incorrect it is; it IS your opinion. And I’m not a person to fault others for having a different opinion, that’s what makes discussions fun!

@Isis, actually, I do want to know… I’m a very curious person.

@Jen

I think Jen hit it on the nail. Although I believe that some of these “rules” can still be upheld, the fact of that matter is that back in the day if you were a housewife and your husband, who would “bring home the bacon”, would beat you, and you wanted to leave him, you would pretty much have to become homeless. It’s sad, but I certainly wouldn’t mind if my girlfriend would not show so much emotion in public (anger, sad, overexcited), mostly because I’m a mellow guy, as well as if she wouldn’t talk too much to other men, as well if she wouldn’t talk so much about herself (shallow).

Honestly, women now could make a list like this about men, then and now. I just don’t understand why everyone has to be butthurt about it. It wasn’t like woman were demeaning themselves by not acting classy in some situations. I think we’ve all had our share of crotch shots in Hollywood, at least I have.

@Much Worse Today

@Much Worse Today
So all American women are nitwits? Good to know, geuss I need to change citizenship…Any suggestions as to where?

And make sure folks to smoke Lucky Strikes! They are reccomended by 2 out of 3 doctors across the Country.

After 50 years, the same rules still apply ladies.haha

@Anon
And it’s perfectly all right for men to treat women like crap??? Is that what you’re saying?

*sigh* Why can’t there be gender neutral dating advice? Just general stuff like “Don’t be an a**hole and don’t treat your partner like crap.” You know, common sense. Both genders like to talk about the things that THEY want to talk about, both genders like it when their date looks good for them, both genders like giving and receiving gifts, and both genders don’t want to be stuck with a drunk a**hole at the end of the night. DUH DUH DUH DUH.

Why are people so dumb with this gender bullshit.

@17 year old man
You’re the only man here

I belive that most (not all) americans (hoping that most of these comments are from them) men/women (both) are just plain stupid. Cant take this away from you folks but your pea brains with all your (so called) higher education cannot handle relationships. (which is not getting any better with any higher level of education)

My insults to your attitude: (consider me a troll if you will. IDC)

1) Stop taking every place/thing/website/blog as a platform for social and moral debates. Find appropriate places/groups/forums to do such constructive work. (pun intended) . Drop your attitudes and take things lightly for a while.

2) I believe that atleast in your society things have moved past the feminist movement. Maybe not a 100%, as still mostly human colonies have a Patriarchy society and acceptance of feminist view by them doesnt mean that it will ever be a 100% feminist concious. (Inspite of all the boundations/rules/sexist treatment by society, i believe that women have mostly found their way out of these situations without the ‘feminism’ playcard, as I believe they have a superior position due to their sex and much more advanced brains than men. So whoever holds the playcard i must say that wake-up and realize that the war is over, and everyday battles are going to be fought everyday so stop the melodrama, cause you look silly)

People (men/women) have fought for eqality of the two sexes not superiority of any, what is the good in it if this debate goes on forever and finally ends up alienating the two sexes. Yes, nature has created us to play our parts, but humans have superior brains which means that we can do far beyond our natural programming, so no point arguing about who should do what, so on and so forth.

FYI, I am a male.

IMO the levels of frustration in todays life make everyone irritable, to the level where we try to argue over anything, even if it is trivial. Noting comes out of these debates just some bad situation gets worse. I hope that americans grow up as i believe that america needs mature people, now more than ever…..

-junk0

Women! Know your place!!!!

last pic looks like he slipped her a rufeeeeee

these are rules based on COMMON SENSE haha…Dont fix your make up using the car mirror…UNLESS YOU WANT TO DIE haahaha…some of the discussions here cracked me up..thanks!!!
BTW I have a friend who’s just like her….and guys love her, its a matter of charisma even if you like to sit like a dude

@DaveM
unfortunately, many women are distastful now a days and leave out the house without a bra. When I was little, which was only a decade ago, women and female children were supposed to wear full undergarments, including sheer skirts to keep ur underwear from showing.

and now…all they have on is a shirt and skirt. And if you’re lucky a thong is present…

@anarchitekt

ya that’s sooo true! some people like that can get away with anything!

LOL…GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH

If you need dating advice from the internet or from a 1930s magazine, you are a social retard.

bahah yeah that and the fact that women pay no attention to any of the rules and usually get drunk and pass out

@Nicky
Well, they might enjoy it but it sure isn’t classy.

Well… i read through the first few comments and i have to say i think most guys that said that they dont enjoy watching women get dressed have definitely just hit puberty and heard that statement from a p0rn movie!!!

most men (me included) love to watch a woman put on her dress and pre herself before going out… it’s the way they do it that makes them so damn cute and appealing.. u dumbasses better start recognizing that a woman’s beauty encompasses other aspects than her taking her clothes off… that was gay but **** it!!!

What a pile of horseapples.

Thank goodness THAT s.h.i.-. is over & done with.

this looks photoshopped, look at the shading. its all off

@blundht
Shut-up already and go make me a sandwich!!

I love this. It`s a small peak into the way it was really like back then. If you view it as sexist you can blame the male ran advertising co. for that. That is not neccessarily what men wanted or expected from women. Or maybe it was so what. All the tips are pretty much no brainers.People in general are quite annoying.Do you want to be liked on a date or not?

I think what people are missing is that this list is about what a woman should do for her man. That’s as far as it went in 1938. The man didn’t consider the woman’s needs and likes. Yes, people in relationships should still work to be courteous and thoughtful of EACH OTHER’S needs. To me, that’s what feminism is…demanding equal rights, not man hating, and any self respecting feminist would agree with me. All of you who are suggesting that all feminists are man haters are likely not meeting very many 2009 feminists.

@Much Worse Today
Yep, I’m a woman and this pretty much sums up my thoughts on women today, society and the way we see things. Sure it is nice there is voting for women and they are treated equally in certain situations, but it has given most of them an excuse to be a total s***, or feel entitled to more than equality, I’m tired of women always preaching for “equality” and slyly asking for better things than men. Why is it ok for a woman to hit a man but he can’t hit her back in self defense? It makes me angry that guys are so terrified to fight back when a woman is beating on them, and it’s pretty demeaning. A friend of mine got the shit beat out of him by a chick and didn’t even touch her, and they arrested him.

What kind of justice bullshit is that?!

maybe he’s writing the check to pay the bill

@thtGuy ahahahahahahahahahaha you are totally THAT GUY, thtGuy. Way to be. For the record, I know plenty of girls who don’t wear makeup and are fine with how they look. I don’t, but I don’t think makeup is a bad thing either.

And chances are, you’re probably never, ever getting laid. Have fun with your judgment and your internet p0rn!

@Nicky
what do you call it when you stick your finger in his ear? a wet whilly? or are you cleaning it for him?

This is solid commedy!

Wah wah, we doll ourselves up and parade our goods around like wh**es, why oh why are we only attracting shallow idiot guidos? Clearly not our fault, all men are like that!

You know, maybe you should stop painting your face and showing off your tits and go somewhere other than discos and clubs, you might run into men that surprisingly care for more than how you look like. But this solution is SO simple that it makes me wonder if women are actually aware of this and simply choose to ignore it because it would deter what they bitch about, yet actually want: the aforementioned idiot guidos.

Sorry ladies, but you won’t find your desired gentleman at a club, popping coronas. And he most likely won’t be a tanned gym monkey in a S-sized pink shirt with popped collar.. but as mentioned above, I doubt you really look for one anyway.

So keep bitching about your choice, while we go back to looking for a decent female who is actually worth our admiration. Yes, they’re rather rare nowadays, but some still do exist.

@Much Worse Today
While you try to make a valid argument You are missing the main point of feminism–Women’s equal rights. Although most feminist haters think this means allowing women to act like men or care less about society, children, and themselves, it actually means allowing women the ability to make their own life decisions through the right to vote, work for fair wages, decide to be a mother or not, and choose to marry or not. These are the same rights men have–they choose to be fathers, they can work for fair wage, they choose to marry and they make their own life decisions. Back in the 1930’s women didn’t have these choices. Rather they were forced into marriages, from propaganda, and limited means to support themselves. If you don’t like how women act today–well those are the choices and life decisions they have made for themselves. Not all women are how you imagine. I am not totally sure where you get your information–not everything you see on TV is true, it is dramatized, edited, and highly skewed to get ratings. I think you should read more research papers and books that depict Feminism and the reality of women’s lives.

Agreed.
This may be over 70 years old but a lot of the points are still valid.
These aren’t about “holding women back” or having them be “like objects”.
It’s about presenting yourself in a good manner and showing your date that you think he’s worth your attention, effort and time. If I took a girl out on a date and she looked like she just rolled out of bed, used my rear view mirror to apply makeup(while I’m driving), talked to the waiter/staff about past dates, got completely wasted and flirted with every guy around….yeah…I probably wouldn’t be taking her out again.
I like “nice” girls that know how to behave in public with someone else. Just as they would expect me to do the same. A lot of these tips can me flipped around for guys, as well. Even more if you replace the feminine parts with masculine parts. Girls don’t want guys “adjusting” themselves infront of them/in public..getting wasted and flirting with everyone..etc. etc.

All the rampant blind feminism in these comments ARE pretty damn amusing, though.

@SandyNaulah
I agree completely.
It’s nice to see some people still have manners and common sense out there.

Okay, Okay….Let’s back up a minute please. Back in the old days women were suppose to follow the rule to please the man, it is all about pleasing the man. Nowadays, it is more of an even playing field, which is the way it should have been back then also. Let’s face it most men would do anything to get in her pants anyway. Society was so backward back then and conservative. I say go women and save the ta tas…I Love the ta tas….

@thtGuy Oh, come on, Guy. Most of the women that guys wet themselves for (Megan Fox, Jessica Simpson, or any all the other talentless w****s on the big screen) are a hell of a lot faker than the average girls. You wouldn’t even look twice at any authentic females.

Geez, bunch of feminists. Are you all having your period? Don’t feel so insulted, or stop crying about alamony (that’s just a joke as well, take it easy). It’s supposed to be funny, chill down.

shes passed out drunk ???

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

First of all: WOW!
@Candace: When you say, “I think it’s fair to say that most rational, intelligent people are feminists,” I agree completely with what the above posted… that is a horrible generalization. Plus sociology teaches us that society’s views on rational and intelligent people change from culture to culture. The fact the feminists now have moved into a stage of “modern feminism” where they pull the “gender card” is disgusting. I am all for equal rights for women etc., but then you should seriously consider if women are always the best fit for certain positions. Affirmative-action hirings of minorities is a joke, why should companies hire inferior workers just to satisfy gender and race? If a person is the best for the job, they should get it.Period. The Problem is, many women (I’m not saying all) when placed in a position of power, get ridiculously hard to work with/approach on any matter. The “gender card” is bullshit, and needs to be eliminated if society plans to halt its self-implosion course it has set itself upon.
In no way am I meaning to disrespect women, but let’s face it. Women are generally better at raising children than men are(maternal instinct). Men, whether by pressure from society or their own instincts, want to provide for their family. Is it too hard to ask for a family consisting of 2 caring, loving individuals who reach decisions together?
Women definitely should have all the rights to raise their own family, support themselves if that is their choice, absolutely! There is no excuse for abuse,drunkenness or violence in any household.
Anyways, great article, it made me chuckle,

Thanks, 1960’s! Glad you happened.

To all of the guys who think this is how you would like your dates- Do you like sex? If no, then please, GO BACK TO 1938!!!
If yes, then STFU and take care of your lady a bit! I know that some of you may think that God put us here to serve and cater to you but guess what, He also gave us a brain and the ability to think for ourselves. Compromise a bit. You’d be amazed at what all it can get you. I’m pretty sure that guys today are having much, MUCH better sex and more of it. And probably all because women DON’T act like this anymore. Take your pick, but you can’t have it both ways.

@Craig
you made my day with that comment. I think you’re the only one that took this in good humor.

Now they call them body shapers, hello!

Thanks for the Monday morning chuckle.

What amuses me is that so many people, male and female, are taking issue with this. It would seem to me that the suggestions offered are simply that, suggestions. Furthermore, I feel like they seem to be good ideas.

My favorite bit in all of the posts is the feminist argument. While I agree that women have not gained true equality, I blame them. It would seem that while most women want to be treated equally, they don’t want to be treated the same. If I were to treat my dates like I treat the men I socialize with, there would be a public outcry. I can call my male friends “fat ass douche-monger”, I wouldn’t dare to call a woman that. My male friends will go out in jeans and a t-shirt, women I know will dress up, even on a casual outing. If my friend “Jerry” gets out of line, I can knock him on his ass, if “Mary” gets out of line, no can do.
To sum it up, if women expect to be treated equally, they’ve got to learn to accept some things. I will treat a woman like a lady if she acts like one, but if she does whatever she wants regardless of how I treat her, then there is no reason for me to treat her differently.

just pointing out that those who attack feminism and say it is out of date/dead are out of touch with the educational and academic systems which have grown feminism into what it is today.
what some people think of as feminism is actually radical feminism, but second-wave or postmodern feminism is a concept that you cannot be against unless you aim to oppress yourself — even if you are a man.
if that makes no sense, it says a lot more about you than it does about me.

I do think that most of this is good advice for women on a date. Interestingly, also good advice for most men. People should be prompt for a date. They shouldn’t get too drunk on a date, or flirt with other people on a date. You should try to talk about things the other person wants to talk about, because THAT’S HOW YOU START A CONVERSATION! I like how so many people here are acting like these tips are evil and womanising. Guess what, THE TARGET AUDIENCE IS FOR WOMEN! the advice is still good and applicable to men, but that wasn’t the audience. This same advice probably showed up in a DIFFERENT magazine for men. Most of these tips are common courtesy. You shouldn’t make your date wait for you to get dressed, or they will get bored. That would be rude. You shouldn’t act bored on a date, even if you are. If you don’t like the date, don’t accept next time, but once you commit to a date, at least TRY to have a good time! You shouldn’t chew gum on a date because it is awkward and rude to talk while chewing gum, and just like you don’t want to hear about the giant dump we took this morning, we don’t give two shits about the new clothes you bought. If it looks good, it looks good. Otherwise, men generally don’t really care. Also, don’t talk while dancing, nothing is more awkward than that.

The ONLY two tips that seem strange are the bra tip and the handkerchief tip, but only because most women generally know well before a date whether or not they need a bra, and most men don’t carry handkerchiefs anymore. But if I carried a stylish handkerchief, damn straight I’d be pissed if some floozy f***ed it up with her make-up that she should’ve had on before I even got there.

Most of this advice can ONLY be broken if two people have been dating awhile and are used to each other’s habits.

All this DONTS for women, what about DONTS for men, does it mean there are alws meaningful for dates?

I do agree that some of this is good advice for women. A woman that slouches seems uneducated and just sloppy. I absolutely hate it when a date starts talking to another guy on our date it’s really annoying. Last thing i hate is when you start to put on make-up right in front of us and it kind of makes us wonder that if shes putting on make up now she is not trying to impress me but some one else.

Hilarious……all these rules for women and not for men. Women can’t even show thier affection in public. FUNNY. I’m glad it’s 2010

While I personally believe that women should have all the same rights as men, the fact of the women’s rights movement, is that the Rockefellers funded women’s lib, the Rockefellers were the one’s who got all of the newspapers and television exposure for women’s lib – the Rockefeller Foundation. The two primary reasons why the elite bankrolled women’s lib, were one, because before women’s lib the bankers couldn’t tax half the population (women) and two, because it allowed them to get children in school at an earlier age, enabling them to be indoctrinated into accepting the state as the primary family, breaking up the traditional family model.

This revelation dovetails previous admissions on behalf of feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem, that the CIA bankrolled Ms. Magazine as part of the same agenda of breaking up traditional family models.

Is there one of these for men? Be interesting to see how we’re supposed to behave!

@chris
you win an internet good sir

I like this its mostly true and funny XD
apart from i could drink you under the table and still walk out in my 5 inch heels.x

i request that someone write what the man should be doing in these photos…ie- to keep his dates attention on him, he obviously is a real bore

Very nice way to put it.

@Much Worse Today Someone just got broken up with

Oh what ever happened to those days… they were good times.

@Beth
I emphatically agree. My kind of girl.

This is good advice if a women wants a man to respect her. The only reason women don’t need men right now is because of the stability in society. If there was all out war and and a break down in the system those ideas would change.

@ SandyNaulah:

I completely agree with your new list. A modern woman should have part of the “old-fashioned” bit about her as well as the new modern woman twist. A man’s list could pretty much consist of similar things.

I use this every time I go on a date.

@blundht
Women may not be considered ‘decorative’ anymore… but i still won’t take a girl home who can’t act proper. Just like I don’t expect her to come home with me if I don’t act proper. Stop being sensitive, and enjoy this for what it’s worth. Stupid little jokes and comics poking fun at men exist too – in great abundance. What do men do about it? We laugh! So suck it up princess, and have a sense of humour.. yeesh!

@Ensigh Howard Do you say any of this as an actual mom? Because I’m both a mom & not in need of any man. So, ya know, bite me

@DAWN

haha you think dating a women would be any easier?

The advice is still current. It is never ok to disrespect or be rude to your date. If a man was the focus of this article the advice would pretty much be the same (one or two changes)

this is for DATING-

Men – when you date arrives don’t keep them waiting, don’t dress in front of them, Smile.

Women don’t like when you borrow their handkerchief to blow your nose. or borrow their brush to fix your hair in public. handle your grooming in private

Men don’t spread your legs and take up one and half seats. Don’t look bored. Don’t chew with your mouth open no on needs to hear or see your gum or dinner.

If the music is load and the girl is enjoying the dance. Don’t talk. there is time for that at the table. It just shows that you are uncomfortable physically with a woman. Dance when you dance. talk when it’s time to sit and talk. (Does not apply to slow dances)

If you need a belt wear one. Do not show your ass crack, scratch your crotch or butt.

Don’t use the car mirror to fix your hair, contacts or adjust yourself. She need it to drive along with turning for blind spots. Use the mirror that’s attached to the passenger side sun visor. there is always one there. why the hell would you need to screw with the driver.

Don’t be overly familiar with your female date. Touching her may not be appropriate. holding her hands fine if she wants. adjusting her clothes? no. Cleaning something off of her face. only if she says it’s ok.

Don’t be pushy. Or give too much advice. If she doesn’t want to talk about her work, then drop it. Some women don’t want to work on their career when they are on a date. Most don’t want their date to fix them.

Don’t be overly familiar with the waitress. Don’t talk about how much fun you had with someone else. She deserves your full attention.

Don’t talk about the latest trade to your favorite sports team or the motor in your car or your favorite video game Talk about the things she wants to talk about. If it happens to be the same thing. Great! (she may love sports, cars or video games)

Don’t drink too much. Some men get fun, most get loud and sloppy.

Don’t flirt with other women or have long drawn out conversations. It’s rude to your date.

Don’t pass out. You are too damn heavy to carry home. You will be left.

How we ever survived as a species…

@Qua
…Thank you.
Whenever I bring up this point to women, they immediately call me an a**hole, or a sexist. Apparently, believing that women have as much power as men do to do physical damage to someone makes me a jackass. Go figure.

@weez

you’re an idiot. Maybe you shouldn’t treat your male friends like that either. how about respecting PEOPLE? something tells me there’s a lot of truth in your statements, meaning, I think you actually treat your friends the way you suggest you do.

so you’re implying that for women to feel they are being treated equally, they have to accept that from time to time they’ll get a beatdown because some arsehole didn’t agree with their comment? what’s your opinion on spousal abuse? and don’t use that lame ass argument that women are equal abusers because you don’t have the statistics to back that shit up.

@thtGuy
Ah, but you expect women to look pretty all the time? Go “Google” actresses with and with out make-up. Women are held to such ridiculous standards of beauty anymore its imposible for us not to wear all that crap. Stop demanding perfection and maybe we will stop trying to achieve it…

@Larry Carter Center
thank you
I love you

“Careless women never appeal to gentlemen” Oh, so that’s where I’ve been going wrong all this time!

@Nicky
you are wrong because you are a woman..

Too many people posting here seem to just accept the “fact” that men are dicks and women shouldn’t have to do anything they don’t want to ever because he’s a dick and well.. he’s a dick. Screw him and what he wants because he’s a dick. It’s all about mememe and what I want and I don’t give a damn if he’s happy or not because well.. he’s a dick.

I come home from work every day and the first thing I do is kiss my wife. I ask her how her day was. I try to help her with any housework that’s left unfinished by the time I get home. I show an active interest in her life, her friends, and what she wants to do and say. I try to keep up my appearance even though we’re married and I behave in public. I try to avoid interacting too much with other women if I’m with her because I don’t want to offend her (regardless of the innocence of said interaction). I don’t make everything about me. In fact, all of the dating tips for women posted her (aside from the brazier/girdle etc) I already follow because it’s common decency and shows I respect my wife enough to not act a fool in public and embarrass her.

Should she not do the same for me? Oh wait.. I forgot.. I’m a dick… and she shouldn’t have to put up with my shit.

Why I read this and thinks in Paris Hilton… Like someone says, we are at 2010.
