What I Want In A Wife article from Cosmopolitan (April 1972) - least vile man on this list?

I'd like to think some of these attitudes, er, evolved over the subsequent decades. Certainly Sheila thoroughly educated Peel in this regard; I'd like to think Hurt grew up a bit too. Most of them were likely sexist pigs to their graves/dotage.

yeah you'd like to think they'd be mortified to read this now but who knows

luckily many of them are mortified anyway so

chairman: zionist federation

That's what I call an eligible bachelor.

i like tom courtenay's 'in my thirty-four years...' next to a picture of him looking, at best, fifty-eight

sidney shipton not just the chairman of the Zionist federation but also the founder of men's lib - form an orderly queue, ladies

Somehow I had basically missed the existence of Oliver Reed until this thread. Watched the Carson clip with Shelley Winters last night. Wow, what a piece of work.

envy you your years of innocence

nice thread but unlike the rest of you i don't pass judgement on other ppl's sexual preferences, so...

haha groovy man

new board descrip

wokebag

Don't worry, ladies, Ian McKellen, Ned Sherrin, Robert Carrier and Peter Wyngarde are just playing hard to get.

I do appreciate that Peter Wyngarde provided the most possible Peter Wyngarde-esque answer to the question put towards him.

(please don't consider that passing judgement on other ppl's sexual preferences)

Check out the DISPUTED FACTS on the origins of Peter Wyngarde:

It appears so.

peter wyngarde has the best facial expressions

more than a little vile,

In 1970, Wyngarde recorded an album for RCA Victor entitled simply Peter Wyngarde, featuring a single, "La Ronde De L'Amour"/"The Way I Cry Over You". The album is a collection of spoken word/musical arrangements produced by Vic Smith and Hubert Thomas Valverde. A promo single of the track "Rape" (entitled "Peter Wyngarde Commits Rape") was also issued in 1970.

Huh, this was actually the same issue, April 1972.

(xp) I have the album, a fine album it is too.

Nope, this is from the second ever issue of Cosmo UK, I suspect

Quiz: Could You Be President

Among the most quaint ideas from 1972, the idea a woman could be elected president.

'Catchable Bachelors'

Ah, right, that makes sense.

"Mister Germaine Greer", aka Paul du Feu.

I thought Cosmopolitan was more liberated than this feature would indicate. Was that a later development?

these attitudes were mildly progressive in 1972, it was just that bad

I remember watching this at the time and, along with a lot of other people it seems, finding myself rushing to stuff a video in the VCR to try to record it.
