"Doors afford a continued supply of chances to make an impression on your companion. Don't pass one up, it's always good for a laugh and an opportunity to show off your leadership qualities…"

"No, you don't grab her arm. You offer assistance…Yes, doors do offer an excellent chance to make a good impression. It's a way to show your respect for ladies…it's the way to succeed with brunettes"

How to succeed in business, or with brunettes, or with blondes. They're all important missions wouldn't you agree? Well, here's one way to tackle the brunette problem. See what you think…

"When you get to your table sit down immediately; shows you're relaxed. Help with her coat? Well, you helped her on with it. Besides it's her coat, she should have checked it…"

"Ladies first…She'll expect you to help her off with her coat and arrange it over the back of her chair…No, she shouldn't have checked it…There, she has an excellent view of the room. Good thinking."

todaysdocument:

Midshipmen Wrong and Right are back for another vintage installment of the U.S. Navy’s Dating Dos and Don’ts training film: How to Succeed with Brunettes.

(See if you can guess which one is Midshipman “Wrong.”)

In case you missed it, some background from the previous post:

Courtesy of our colleagues in the National Archives’ Motion Picture Preservation Lab we present How to Succeed with Brunettes (1967), a film produced by the Navy that demonstrates proper dating etiquette for officers. Part of a recentaccession of military instructional films from the Defense Visual Information Center (DVIC), the somewhat dated film features wonderful music, evocative of its era, and a fair bit of comedy, both intentional and unintentional.
