Before Covid, Kim Marx-Kuczynski from
Madison, Wisconsin shared a 1958 McCall’s article, entitled “129 Ways to Get a
Husband,” showing just how much times have changed. Kim believes that everyone
who’s currently thinking about a long-term relationship should stay away from
this kind of stuff, too. “I think if someone is actively looking for a
life-long partner just for the sake of being married, they will end up in a
failed relationship whether they legally sever it or not,” she said. “I’d like
to read about someone’s attempts at trying out everything on the list though.
They would either end up with a degree from Yale, in federal prison for stowing
away on a military vessel, or in an intervention meeting with friends who’ve
been very concerned with their recent dating profile choices.”
“It’s outdated and absurd and funny, but it
had serious intentions,” Kim concluded. “Society has changed so much in the
last sixty (now close to 70) years, and this article exemplifies the
differences between what our moms and grandmas grew up with compared to
ourselves and the coming generations. It’s fascinating.”
Of the 129 ways, here are the top 30:
