I was super amused by BuzzFeed’s “13 Tips for Single Dames” which ran today. It shows images from a 1938 issue of Photo Parade magazine, which gave our grandmas advice on how not to act on a date. So what do I think? I think it needs a freaking update. While it’s still a good idea not to pass out during your date, things have changed a wee bit for us single gals since then. Here are 13 tips for single dames today.
The 2009 caption for the image above? Wearing pantyhose on a date will severely decrease your chances of getting laid.

I was really hoping you all would run this. I had a good laugh, especially the dancing caption.

aww, sex in the car is only “so high school” when that’s the ONLY place you ever do it!! It can be awesome for one of those “I just can’t wait until we get home” moments.

So,if I were a guy 70 years ago, I’d expect my date to be virtually indistinguishable from a mannequin except that she’d constantly flatter me?
Score. I’m so gonna get rich marketing mannequins with built-in recordings that say flattering things. The elderly are gonna freakin’ eat them up.

i think i now see dating in a whole new light thanks to this insight. Can’t believe I got it so wrong all these years. Now I know why I’m not married yet.

apparently, i’ve been going about this dating process entirely the wrong way. i’ll keep this taped to the inside of my wrist next time so i can do no wrong.
according to the last picture, getting smashed in public annoys the owner of the restaurant? he must be so angry because some dud is paying exorbitant amounts of money at his place of business. whoops.

Thank you God (whoever you are) for letting me born and grown up in a time where women can just be human beings while dating.

So… was passing out during the date like a common occurrence or something? And were women on the fence as to whether or not guys like that, back in ‘38?

Whoever said that wearing pantyhose on a date decreases your chances of get laid is wrong! Pantyhose are sexy girls and this new bare legged, cavewomen look sucks. I miss the days of skirts, hose and heals as many guys do.
