How Attractive Are You To Men?

The completely politically correct quiz from a 1949 Esquire

Do you lay awake at night wondering whether men like you?

Well, you're about to get a restful sleep because the gentlemen of Esquire came through for the women of 1949 to really show them how to get a guy. Simply take this straightforward questionnaire and see where you stand with the opposite sex. (Or sit, because that's more ladylike.)

Here we go:

1. Do you wear clothes that make you a little more up-to-the-minute than the other women in your set?

Good — provided your taste is reliable and that the clothes suit you. Men may rant about the “crazy hat” but they swell with pride when their lady companions arouse admiring stares.

2. If you are asked to get another girl for a foursome, do you pick one obviously less attractive than you are?

You are unwise to do so. Get the most glamorous girl you know, and both men will be pleased.

3. Do men marvel at your capacity for holding liquor?

tumblr.com

A great mistake: it gives you a fast reputation and runs into money — the man’s money — besides.

4. How many comfortable chairs are there in your living room?

tumblr.com

At least two, I hope. No man can fall in love unless he has a chance to relax and he can’t if either of you sits bolt upright.

5. Do you keep men interested by hinting that later — not tonight — you’ll be really demonstrative?

This is a low trick and one that a surprising number of men see through at once. If you kiss a man, it should be for your own pleasure and not to reward him.

6. Do you ever embarrass a man by telling him he’s good-looking or has big muscles or is too, too intelligent?

tumblr.com

Try it! Almost any man can stand almost any amount of flattery, however obvious, without embarrassment or surprise.

7. Do you knit when you are having a cozy, fireside evening with a man?

tumblr.com

For some reason, men hate to see a woman doing anything with her hands when talking to her. Undivided attention is best.

8. Do you either play bridge or dance really well?

tumblr.com

If not, take steps to correct this at once. You’re better off if you do both well, but one talent is mandatory.

9. Are you so beautifully groomed that you make an average man feel like a lout when he takes you out?

Fine. Men are extremely critical of any imperfection in a girl’s neatness. If he feels like a lout once, the average escort will take pains to be better-dressed himself the next time.

10. Do you, when you have first met a really attractive man, clinch your future acquaintance by some polite variation of “Come up and see me sometime”?

It often helps out on the occasions when the man is too shy to make the first advance himself.

11. Do you save yourself wear and tear by not troubling to entertain men bores?

tumblr.com

A grave mistake. Bores have their uses since a clever girl can practice her conversation on them, with nothing much to lose. Besides, they often have attractive friends.

12. Do you suffer from indecision when ordering dinner or drinks in a restaurant with a man?

This maddens them — learn to make up your mind rapidly.

See, wasn't that easy?
