A TikToker has been let down after reading the hilarious acts women did in the 1950s to score a husband.
British expatriate Jordana Grace, who now lives in Queensland, found an old magazine from 1958 that revealed 129 ways to “get a husband.”
In a now viral TikTok video, Jordana shared the top tips recommended to women of the time — from “dropping a handkerchief,” learning to paint, and wearing a band-aid so men will ask what happened.

In a now viral TikTok video, Jordana shared the top tips recommended to women of the time – from ‘dropping a handkerchief’, learning to paint and wearing a band-aid so men will ask what happened.
“Number 17. Be nice to ugly men, because handsome is just as handsome,” Jordana said in the video.
“Number 23. Go to all your high school reunions because there can be widowers there.
“Number 30. Learn to paint and set up an easel outside a technical school.”
Jordana continued to outline several points that she found funny and slightly odd, including number 25 that suggested going back to your hometown “because a wild boy next door could now be a qualifying bachelor.”
Other tips were “wearing a hat box” and dropping a handkerchief “because it still works.”
A woman dropped her handkerchief in front of a man in an attempt to get his attention, dating back to Roman times.
“Number 34. Wear a band-aid so he can ask what’s going on,” Jordana continued.
She said the ‘best’ tip of all is number 40 – which suggested ‘standing in the corner and crying softly because they come over and ask what’s going on’.
Jordana couldn’t help but burst out laughing after revealing the latest tip.

A fourth said, “Well, now I know why I’m single.”
