LOVE "when a man dances, he wants to dance!!"

[C-dot]

"Don't be too familiar with your man in public, it will embarrass him."

"Men deserve and desire your undivided attention."

I thought ladies were supposed to be indecisive and fickle! lol

 

[crwritt]

LOVE "when a man dances, he wants to dance!!"

Don't you wish more of them still felt this way?

 

[vintage_jayhawk]

"If you need a brassiere, wear one"

Sound advice for any era!! :eusa_clap

I love the "don't sit in awkward positions". I'd recommend it overall to girls wearing a dress that is too short...

 

[JennyLou]

Ha, thank you for posting this.

 

[HadleyH]

...and that's so true... because...honestly, that has to be one of the most irritating things ever! past, present and future! shakeshead ---

Do not be sentimental!!!!!! [bad]

 

[Viola]

Not passing out in the middle of the date is a good rule to live by, I should think! Don't drink like Nora Charles unless you can drink like Nora Charles!

 

[Tomasso]

Isn't she what is known today as a Hot Mess.

 

[Mirinda]

I was wondering if there exists a "Tips for the single gentleman".... which tips do you think should be included?

 

[Humphreys Honey]

Reading this, I suddenly don't understand how I managed to get engaged!

 

[scottyrocks]

LOL

 

[Miss Honey Bare]

I have to say, most of it is silly and sexist.

And how many guys these days wants a girl NOT to drink too much (there's more chance of getting her girdle off that way!). lol.

 

[SayCici]

I was wondering if there exists a "Tips for the single gentleman".... which tips do you think should be included?

I imagine, if it were written by the same people, something like: "Women are absolutely helpless in every way, and need you to do everything for them, including opening any doors (don't you know it strains their wrists) to cutting their spaghetti."

I loved this! Especially the bit about wearing a bra if you need to. Isn't that just common sense?
