Slangs, fashion trends, and norms can all change as the years fly by. But one aspect that we may have completely glossed over until today is the acts that some women used to practice to attract men. One quick trip down memory lane to unearth these tricks was detailed in a TikTok video that left thousands in stitches.
A comedian and TikTok creator revealed how women ‘scored a husband’ in the 1950s, reading 129 tips from an old magazine sold in 1958.
'Number 17, be nice to ugly men because handsome is as handsome does.’ Jordana said in between fits of laughter.
'Number 23, go to all of your high school reunions because there could be widowers there.’
'Number 30, learn how to paint and set up an easel outside of an engineering school.'
Jordana continued to outline several points that she found hilarious and cheeky, including number 25, which suggested going back to your hometown 'because a wild boy next door might now be an eligible bachelor'.

Other tips included 'carrying a hat box' and ‘dropping a handkerchief’.
The act of dropping your handkerchief dates as far back as the Roman period.
'Number 34, wear a bandaid so he can ask what's wrong.’ Jordana continued.
She hailed number 40 as the ‘best tip of all’ as it suggested 'standing in the corner and crying softly because they'll come over and ask what's wrong'.
Jordana burst out laughing after sharing the final tip.

The TikTok video amassed nearly half a million views and hundreds of comments from users who were both bewildered and amused by the tips.
‘Be careful with the hat box one, I carried one once I am now married. I have no idea what happened.’ one user joked.
‘Okay, but the tip about painting is genius!’ another said.
‘Honestly most of these would work.’ a third added, while a fourth chimed: ‘If you are single, please, try these out so we can see if it works. My instinct is that they probably do.’
‘I am glad my wife did number 17!’ another teased.
‘I'm going to casually drop my tissue in infront of my crush and see what happens.’ one more declared.
What are your thoughts on these tips? Are they accurate or exaggerated? Dare we ask if you’re guilty of doing some of them (or falling for them)? How did YOU meet your significant other? It’s interesting how times and norms change! Share your love stories and dating tips with us in the comments!
