<p>It seems hard to believe, immersed as we are currently in a miasma of equalist lies, that there were ever times in America’s rapidly receding past when people shared a generally realistic appraisal of the sexes. But there were. And America’s fruited plains were once populated with Realtalkers. A reader forwards a link to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150603214214/http://www.npr.org/sections/npr-history-dept/2015/05/26/409126557/when-petting-parties-scandalized-the-nation" target="_blank">Realtalk, 1920s-style</a>. The subject is “Petting Parties”, which were all the rage during that time.</p>
|
||
<blockquote><p>Soon the lovey-dovey wingdings were popping up all across the country. Southerners sometimes called them <em>necking</em> parties. They were called <em>mushing </em>parties in the West; <em>fussing </em>parties in the Midwest and <em>spooning</em> everywhere, the United Press noted later in 1921. Eventually some flappers began referring to party-petting as <em>snugglepupping</em>.</p></blockquote>
|
||
<p>It’s almost weird to read about a time when America was so culturally unified, and this despite massive waves of Eastern European immigration happening then.</p>
|
||
<p>A game-aware nugget of Realtalk is tucked into the story:</p>
|
||
<blockquote><p>“Girls like to be called snuggle-puppies,” one school administrator told the reporter. “They grant the boys liberties. Encourage them to take them and if the young chaps do not, they are called ‘sissies’, ‘poor boobs’ or ‘flat tire.’ ”</p></blockquote>

||
<p>Heartiste Poon Commandment XIII: Better to err on the side of too much boldness rather than too little.</p>
|
||
<p>The beta male orbiter was known to women long before our time. He was that “sissy” — an apt description — who couldn’t bustamove when it most counted. That 1920s beta male stumbled and fumbled and waited patiently for unmistakeable signals from the girl until she grew bored with him and alighted for a better man who knew how to travel the landscape of her hindbrain.</p>

<p>Related: Fat women were never attractive to men. The “perfect woman”, <a href="/dimensions-of-a-perfect-woman.html" target="_blank">according to an 1890s leaflet</a>, was slender and feminine, not a hint of fupa or manjaw on her. America the Beautiful, where have ye gone?</p>
