September 1962 Radio-Electronics Cover - RF Cafe[Table of Contents]

Wax nostalgic about and learn from the history of early electronics. See articles from Radio-Electronics, published 1930-1988. All copyrights hereby acknowledged.

According to common advertisements seen in electronics and mechanics type magazines in the 1940s, '50s, '60s, the two best ways to get the woman of your dreams is by ordering a Charles Atlas body building course, or, at least according to these Precision Apparatus Company promos, becoming an electronics technician. Whether it be Hogarth in a World War II Echophone ad or Pete in this Precision Apparatus Company ad, it seems techies get the girls. It appeared in a 1962 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. I don't know at what point nerds began being shunned by the babes rather than being wowed by them. Here's another Precision Apparatus Company advertisement asserting the same message. Maybe at some point the tables will turn again.
