Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod
Rock For LifeFor many years, one of the Lutheran church bodies in America had a youth organization called “The International Walther League,” named after a Lutheran theologian. This group had its own publication called Messenger. In the early 1960s, an article appeared in this periodical. Here is a paragraph from one of its pages. It details a survey conducted to check out what boys wanted in a girl.
“Their ideal girl: She’s a blue-eyed blonde, not too thin and not too plump. She’s a trifle shorter than her boyfriend and not quite as bright. She gets medium grades in school. She doesn’t smoke; doesn’t drink. She dresses conservatively, usually in casual clothes. She uses little, if any, artificial beauty aids.”
Well, I actually like intelligent women. Am I missing out on something? What did these guys back then know that I do not understand today?
The ideal girl whom God Himself has given to me happens to be a great deal smarter than I am. I think it’s a question of what the author of that Messenger article was “missing out on.”
Smart girls rock, and so do the boys that like them.
Did it print a description of the ideal boy?
The article is short sighted and stupid. I would never want to date someone who couldn’t hold their own with me in an argument.
It’s not an article – it’s the results of a survey of Lutheran guys in the 1960s. I wonder if the average Lutheran man’s opinion has changed much since then (readers of Balaam’s Ass seem a cut above, of course).
Sad to think that guys in the ’60s were so dumb. Am I surprised? No. I think guys now are probably just as dumb, on average, and thanks for the compliment.
well i think that there is only onee miotto women (girls) should live by: if he dont treat you like youre daddy does, drop him!!!!!!!
Hmmm…drop the blonde hair and the no drinking and you are talking about my wife!
