Someone unearthed an article from a 1958 issue of McCall’s magazine titled “129 Ways to Get a Husband”, and it. is. fantastic.
Some of the highlights include:
1. “Get a job demonstrating fishing tackle in a sporting goods store.”
2. “Get lost at a football game.”
3. “Don’t take a job at a company run mostly by women.”
4. “Learn to paint, [then] set up an easel outside an engineering school.”
5. “Read the obituaries to find eligible widowers.”
6. “Wear a Band-Aid. People always ask what happened.”
7. “Stand in a corner and cry softly. Chances are good that he’ll come over to find out what’s wrong.”
8. “Get a sunburn.”
From personal experience, number 8 seems questionable at best, but I have to say numbers 5 and 7 seem like a couple of solid options. Go get ’em, ladies!
