Take a look at what was considered "dating advice" in the 1930s.
In a tongue-in-cheek photo guide published in 1938, Click Photo-Parade magazine provided dating ‘tips’ for single women. Apparently, the only keys to successful dating in the 1930s for women were to not talk too much, wear a bra, and not pass out in the middle of your date because you’re too drunk:
![Do Your Dressing](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/do-your-dressing.jpg)
Do your dressing in your boudoir to keep your allure.
![Bras](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bras.jpg)
If you need a brassiere, wear one.
![Borrow Handerchief](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/borrow-handerchief.jpg)
Men don't like girls who borrow their handkerchief and smudge them with lipstick.
![Dont Sit](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dont-sit.jpg)
Don't sit in awkward positions--and never look bored, even if you are.
![Car Mirror](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/car-mirror.jpg)
Don't use the car mirror to fix your make-up.
![Dont Be Familiar](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/dont-be-familiar.jpg)
Don't be familiar with your escort by caressing him in public.
![Conspicious](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/conspicious.jpg)
Don't be conspicuous talking to other men.
![Headwaiter](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/headwaiter.jpg)
Don't be familiar with the headwaiter talking about the fun you had with someone else another time.
![Careless Woman](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/careless-woman.jpg)
Careless women never appeal to gentlemen.
![Sentimental](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sentimental.jpg)
Don't be sentimental or try to get him to say something he doesn't want to by working on his emotions.
![Talk About Clothes](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/talk-about-clothes.jpg)
Don't talk about clothes or try to describe your new gown to a man.
![Drink Too Much](https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/drink-too-much.jpg)
Don't drink too much, as a man expects you to keep your dignity all evening.
