...”multiple men proposed to my mom when she was in college and law school...
I’m 50.
So I don’t know 1950.
But I assume if you wanted action from the average girl you had to marry her.
It wasn’t a bad deal. Trading sex for a lifetime of love and commitment from a man,
Now it’s traded for a shot of JD.
Two guys proposed to my mom. She ended up marrying the guy that was going to stay locally and had a better career suited to family life - my dad.
Dad passed away at the age of 72.
Two years later she was visiting with the sister of her other beau. “Oh my brother Chuck will be up next month, we should get together again - he would love to see you again after all these years!”
After a brief courtship of a year they were married! My mom at the age of 74 IIRC.
