Because women were not nearly as promiscuous, marriage was widespread (without laws enabling divorce for women without a really good reason), and there was not the "free love and sex" undercurrent through everything yet, it occurs to me that there was much more sex in the "public" culture, out in the open.
Examples:
-Dancing was widespread: get to put your hands on a bunch of random women all night (even here there was lots of AMOGing going on in the form of "cutting in" and "stealing" a guy's dance partner b/c the masculine force was omnipresent and men were always aware of where they ranked in relation to other men).
-Women seemed to have the expectation of being dominated and at the first sign of disapproval said things like, "I'm really terribly sorry" to prevent men from blowing them out of the water. Of course, women are women and inevitably if the man seemed weak there would be sh!t tests just like today- however the sh!t tests were laughable weak IMO because the threshold/tolerance for sh!t was much lower then. Heck, even in 1970's "Love Story" which is the quintessential Baby Boomer movie with the sensitive male, she oversteps the line and he goes "Listen you Radcliffe b!tch." It was so ingrained in men not to put up with sh!t- women going against men seemed so wrong. Of course you had your men with nagging wives that wore the pants in the house- these men were the object of sympathy, scorn, etc. But from most women there were lots of mild sh!t tests on an ongoing basis so she could constantly be dominated by the man and feel secure/happy about that. Much the same as today except that 1. you have OUTRAGEOUS sh!t tests from girls these days (like the thread where the girl is texting her "boyfriend" while on the phone with another guy, is told not to do it, and then does it again a few seconds later), and 2. You have men who are so weak, so pvssy whipped, that their threshold for sh!t is so damn high that it would probably take a woman tripping them, kicking them in the balls and then stamping up and down on their back with high heels before they would put the woman in her place.
-Airline stewardesses, Burger King employees, you name it, it had sexy young women dressed uniformly in short skirts and etc.
-Bars and nightclubs were places where men actively hit on women and sometimes got into fights with other men over women- again, the masculine force always there.
-Women dressed sexier and men casually complimented women on their looks all the time. A lot more random flirting between strange men and women with no consequences. Just watch any 60s Bond movie to see this.
- For instance I was just watching the "Love Bug" (60s movie about car racing) and as a reward for winning the race, the main character casually kisses this hot blonde model full on the mouth for several seconds- keep in mind these people do not know each other, but he has proved his masculinity by winning the race and this is his reward. After the kiss he checks her body out openly. She is not offended- she smiles happily that he is checking her out. Think about how most women might react to that today ("OMG that would be so creepy!! I don't even know him!! Creeper!!!") Yet they would go to bed with him after a few texts and checking out his facebook page.
Happily this last trend seems to be changing, or maybe it was just this particular lady- I was in a steakhouse last night with a friend and this very very hot blonde in her 30s who worked there bumps into me and says, "Excuse me." I said, "You're fine!" She turned around, looked over her shoulder and gave me a huge smile and slowly tilted her head/eyes down until she was looking at her shoes. So so sexy.
I then proceeded to chase her through the restaurant but she had to take table orders and was surrounded by a group of patrons, so there wasn't anything left to do (besides I had a friend there and we had to get to another place that night).
But anyway, those are just several examples of the overt sex present in the culture- because the promiscuous, "anything goes" undercurrent was simply not there at the time.
It also occurred to me watching "Love Bug" that men were just totally unashamed about dominating everything. There's a scene where he drives through San Francisco in regular traffic and he's just casually yanking the car all over the place and driving extremely aggressively. It is obvious that the masculine force was omnipresent. I also saw a TV clip from the 60s of some football game, I wish I remembered which one it was, where there were INCHES OF SNOW on the field and HEAVY SNOW raining down and they were still playing the game. Men were men. I wish I had some video examples to show.
I really like the post about everybody kind of operating at 15% percent today- it's so true. Everybody's game had to be picked up then- even your so-called "betas" back then would dominate most men today. And the post about how we gave women an inch and they went around the globe a few hundred times- so true. If you have tolerance for sh!t treatment, women will step up and give it to you- all the while secretly scorning you for allowing that to happen.
