This 1938 Dating Guide For Women Is The Worst Thing You'll Read All Day.
Tears are for the weak. Why not stare straight at a wall?
Here's what I hate about this.
- It assumes that women are always crying
- Men hate emotions
- Emotions are a bad thing
No wonder we all need therapy now.
God forbid, this man has to turn his whole neck around
Silly woman, your makeup is a minor thing. Men deal with the important stuff. *rolls eyes right out of head*
Being comfortable is a straight-up crime
Chewing gum? What a scandal!
and even if your date is the equivalent of the weather channel, try and look interested because women can't have opinions apparently?
Your date should believe you were born all dressed up
God forbid you make him wait 5 minutes.
Makeup? No such thing. You woke up like this.
Men can't be inconvenienced. Ever.
Oh no. A smile!
Don't smile at them either. Don't try to have fun. Your boring guy will dance when he wants to. Your wants are secondary. This is already breaking my brain.
Perfect. All. The. Time.
Being a woman back then must have been so much hard work. I'm wearing sweats as I write this.
Don't show affection
Why even date at this point? don't smile, don't dance, don't show affection. Your date might as well be a statue.
The origin of Karens
Maybe this is where it started. The whole being rude to waiters thing. Apparently, women just weren't allowed to speak nicely to them, ever.
Don't talk about things you like
Only the man's opinion matters. If this boring dude wants to talk about the exciting new research done on plain white bread, then you need to just play along. Thank goodness it's 2021. I mean it's not perfect but it's not this.
Getting turnt is for men
If your grandma could see you now. She sacrificed a good time then so you could enjoy your weekends now. Go say thank you to her. She sat by as the men got drunk.
Who is this scenario even for?
What woman goes to a restaurant and starts ruffling a strangers hair? Am I going to the wrong restaurants?
Don't pass out after drinking
Honestly, we'd want to forget the evening too if we had all these rules to follow. Let granny drink that pain away. She just had the worst date ever.
