6 Hollywood hunks tell young women how to catch "HIM"
Do you sit back lazily and dream sweet thoughts about having a shining knight ride out of the blue and claim you for his bride? Or do you believe in doing something more active about it?
Wailing about the shortage of men won’t do it. There are ways and ways of quickening the marriage gleam in a mans eyes. Makes no difference if you’re the most popular girl in your crowd or if you spend most nights in front of your television set alone. Bagging a husband takes a different technique than merely bagging a date. If you’d like to change your name the beautiful way, it’s high time you learned some tips on how to find the right guy.
We talked to a half-dozen Hollywood actors who know the score. Some of them are married, some are waiting for the right girl to come along. But these men know what it is that gets a guy thinking of a girl in terms of a life-mate.
Tony Curtis, who is starring in United Artists’ “Johnny Dark”, has a very practical suggestion. "A girl can be as beautiful as all that, but if she’s domineering or too forceful she’ll write finis to any serious thoughts the guy may have. A fellow may enjoy dating her, but, as a rule, he shies away from the prospect of being tied in permanent harness to a girl who shows all the earmarks of being a shrew. |
Fernando Lamas, who is in MGM’s Rose Marie, says: "Believe it or not, something as simple as domesticity in a girl is what often loops a man. It’s a very feminine characteristic and one that makes many a lonely bachelor, fed up with drugstore meals, want to take the plunge. Bachelors are very susceptible to a home-cooked meal. So many girls today seem proud of the fact that they’re terrific in the office but duds in the kitchen. They even brag about the fact that they can’t boil water. |
Jeff Hunter, now in 20th Century-Fox’s Princess of the Nile, says: "First, get the man interested in you. Then you can use certain techniques that will make him chase you until you catch him. If you want to get him to take you out, you might kid him into it by saying, ‘Someone gave me tickets to a night baseball game, but I don’t suppose I’ll go. I hate to go alone.’ Especially if you’ve chosen a sport he likes, he’ll jump at the chance of escorting you, Then you can take it from there, |
Tab Hunter, currently appearing in UA’s Screaming Eagles, says: " A girl who can get and hold a man is one who’s easy on the nerves, If she seems to understand him and doesn’t expect too much of him, he soon begins to get the idea that he wants her by his side for the rest of his life. If you can make the guy feel better for being with you, you’re getting somewhere. |
John Derek, star of Republic’s The Outcast, says: "Employ the tactics of the hunter. When he’s after big game he goes to the jungle. If he’s after deer, he goes to the forests. If you want to track down a future husband, go to the places where men are. There are many clubs you can join and courses you can take where you’ll find the attendance predominantly masculine: classes in subjects from archaeology to Chinese checkers. Amateur theatrical groups are good to get into because you not only find guys there but the atmosphere is relaxed and sociable and everyone heads for the nearest coffee pot later to talk and get acquainted. Even in sports, try to work up a sincere interest in fishing, golf, or horseback riding, where you’ll find more men than women. Might as well be smart about it."
There they are, girls, some real sound husband-finding suggestions from six popular stars. Written by Hellen Weller

Rock Hudson, whose next film is UI’s Magnificent Obsession, says: "Don’t be too aggressive or too capable if you want to get a guy’s thoughts on marriage. A man likes a feminine girl. He wants to be the man in the family, the head of the house. He likes it when she makes him feel protective. When a girl is so sure of herself that she knows how to do everything, from fixing a light socket to jacking up a tire, he’ll no longer feel that she needs him. I don’t mean that a girl has to be a simpering, clinging vine who can’t move a chair by herself. That can be sickening too. But the super-charged, hyper-sophisticated girl who knows all the answers and doesn’t mind telling them to you may be able to find a good job for herself, but she won’t easily find a job keeping house for a man of her own. |
Someone essentially lend a hand to make significantly posts I’d state. That is the very first time I frequented your web page and up to now? I surprised with the research you made to create this actual publish amazing. Magnificent job!

GREAT post! Hope you don’t mind I added Rock’s blurb to my http://RockHudsonBlog.com (with a link back of course)
Also this is the best designed “Misty Look” WP theme I ever seen, I barely recognized it. Good job! 🙂
Of course it is all right that you reblogged it and thanks for the link back 🙂
The reason my “Misty Look” looks a little different is that I”m a graphic designer/web designer and I work in wordpress for a lot of costumers. I use my own blog for tresting and to see how far you can stretch the system so instead of the publishing system that follows wordpress I use a combination of LiveWriter and Dreamweaver. That is to say, what I cant make the LiveWriter do I make in DreamWeaver and past the html into the source page on LiveWriter. This way I can easily change fonts, font sizes, font colour etc
