925 Game Guide

Found a copy of an early game manual dated to year 1925 and written by "Mr. X". I have the translated Finnish version but I suspect the original was either written in Germany or Sweden. I found it rather interesting to compare the situation back then and now. Here's some quotes as translated by yours truly:
Quote:Quote:
...In order for a man to succeed with women, he must be able to please them. Women must notice that he is "swift" and interesting. A man who is silent and sulky will never succeed with the weaker sex, although being handsome.
...Men must absolutely be superior to women with their intelligence, this is what the women want from men.
Quote:Quote:
How to conquer a woman.
...Women's character demands that men pay attention to her. She demands she is taken into account and that men are polite towards her. This pleases her and she will always value a gentleman who can play polite [in public]. Politeness is the key to conquering women. Too much of anything will corrupt anything. Excess politeness will look ridiculous. It will make her smile and man can never look ridiculous in her eyes.

Quote:Quote:
On looks.
...I recommend all young men to become what is called a real man. Women will like this. Yes, they will demand that a man has muscles and fists to defend her. Women know they are weak. This is the reason she will demand that a man must be strong.
There are two things in a man that will please a woman: beautiful, shiny hair and white, strong teeth. These are the two things that one must not neglect.
