I'm shocked that the advice to the husbands is to not be a jerk.

ie, "Talk to her of anything you would talk of to a man...," "be thoughtful," "Listen for him...," implied: "help him dress," "complement him," "share [your jokes]," etc

"Listen for his latchkey and meet him on the threshold."

"Let your wife share them."

"At least be thoughtful."

I'm in a hurry. There might have been others.

So like what the fuck happened in the 90s with cosmo

The only thing I can think about is how hot and sticky and sandy and salty and itchy those (cotton?) swimsuits must be after a day at the beach

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I sometimes go into the sea with a cotton t-shirt as protection against the sun, and I have no such annoyances afterwards. It's definitely full of sand and not recommended to bring inside anywhere, but apart from that I have no complaints.

To be fair, I am more "aware" than most about what my skin is touching. I only feel comfortable with loose clothing and anything tight aorund my neck (think of turtlenecks or ties) make me feel uneasy. Sunburn turns all of that up to 11 and makes it unbearable for me to wear a salty T-shirt. You have more sun discipline than I, and for that I respect you

I read that first one for the missus as " listen for his lechery " and thought I was in for a wild ride.

This isn’t as appallingly sexist as I expected it to be

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago

Written by a decent person in an appallingly sexist culture. I'm sure we see such things every day...

A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.

I kind of expected these to have aged worse. Some are solid - if a little obvious in modern times - advice.

And then there are the others... At least some of them are humorous; show them to your partner guys i'm sure she will appreciate them. Even if she is just a wife 🫠

I showed it to my wife and she laughed a bit too hard at the "devoid of colour sense" part.

I legit thought the one on the left was "the wife" until I looked to the right. The sections being under the "wrong" person didn't help either.

~~Obvously that would be fine if they were, but I doubt the people who made this would think that way~~

Edit - after properly reading it, it's more wholesome than I thought it would be.

"Even a wife is an individual". Wait what.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

Very progressive for 2025, unfortunately we're heading backwards where we need this said again...
