The 1958 edition of American magazine McCall’s, featuring '129 Ways to Get a Husband'
That's a lot of ways! Arguably too many. But beggars can't be choosers, so let's take a look at Tip #6...

Tip #6 - Read the obituaries to find eligible widowers
Wow, where to even begin with this one?
-
03
On the one hand, this tip is kind of genius. It ensures right from the start that the guy you're after is definitely single, with no secret girlfriend or wife lurking in the shadows.
-
04
It also provides you with the opportunity to help someone through their grieving process, and to be their crutch at such a difficult time. A rebound, if you will.

05
Because that's a totally healthy premise on which to start a relationship, right?
-

The obituaries also serve as a sort of dating app because they conveniently list the names and ages of the widowers as well as any children they may have.

So you know what you're dealing with right from the get-go. In fact it's even better than dating apps because the men won't lie about their ages on their 'profiles'!

On the downside, most of the widowers in the obituaries will be in a certain 'older' age bracket...

Which isn't always ideal. Unless, of course, that's your thing (no judgment)

Let's say you did adopt this approach... how would it even work?

Do you show up at the funeral? Do you send flowers round to the house? Do you wait outside the house?

Too many questions. The whole idea seems ridiculous. Tip #6 gets a hard no from me!
