Dangerous Minds is often an invaluable resource for cringe-worthy vintage advertising, but this one is in a category all by itself.
Looking for the perfect gift for the miserable cad in your life? Perhaps he'd like a stuffed and mounted fake head of a woman he never had sex with. According to the sales pitch, this item is, "...for every man to boast of his conquests."
Now, we know what you're thinking: you're saying to yourself, "I'd love to have a severed woman's head on my wall, but I can't take all the yapping." Not to worry, the ad assures us that "...one of the nicest qualities is that they don't talk back!"
And only $2.98? Now, that really is too good to be true.
Men maybe complicated but when it comes to their women, they often take things at face value. He plays it safe by reading the obvious, often leaving his woman flustered and frustrated.
By feigning sleep she might want him to make the first move in bed, but he conveniently chooses to toss sides and fall into deep slumber. Of course, some men do suspect there is more below the surface, but they had rather not explore that complex tangle of emotions that make up a woman's mental landscape. Here are five girly tantrums, men prefer to overlook and women can't stop sulking about ...
When she says it is too expensive
You are out with your girlfriend and she notices this chic designer handbag displayed in a glass shelf. She stops to give it a long look and says "This is too expensive; I cannot buy it right now". This means; why don't you offer to buy it for me. Shilpa (28), a call-centre executive, explains this best, "One time I was out with my boyfriend for lunch. As I passed the Da Milano store, I noticed this really sexy yellow bag. It was obscenely priced, and I weakly admitted that I couldn't afford it." But all he could come up with was, "the bag is anyway not that great and definitely not worth the money." "I was so disappointed."
When you are glued to the television and she snuggles up to you
You might find her sudden interest in football very encouraging, as she walks into the living room and cosies up beside you. In such a scenario, most men begin to ramble about their favorite football club and what makes a Zidane legendary. Ask your girl, she definitely doesn't wish to learn about your passion for the sport, but your passion for her. "Seduce me and make love to me on the couch", is what she implies. Content manager, Rohit (32), finds this behavior of his fiancé bemusing. "She otherwise hates me for spending time before the television. But there are times when she gets so lovey-dovey and settles down to watch TV with me, and takes the greatest interest in whatever I am viewing."
When she praises another man
This means there is something you need to pick up from that other man. It also can be read as an attempt to make you jealous. There is never a flimsy reason why she mentions about this third person. You'd better be all ears and try to decode her real purpose. "I used to often broach the topic of a certain colleague, and deliberately stress on how he offers to help his wife with cooking and gives her a hand in all household chores," chips in Anita (37), ground staff with an airline. "But he would hardly pay much heed, and casually say, "poor guy", without even realizing that this is precisely what I ask of him too." Perhaps Anita's husband of six-years thought him another mundane fellow worker.
When she calls herself fat
Think twice before responding to such a declaration. Your agreeing with her can make things worse. All she needs you to tell her is, she ain't fat at all, and that you find her desirable the way she is. "After putting on a new dress, I would ask my boyfriend how I looked. Whether I appeared fat," says Shruthi (24), a marketeer with a news channel. "And he would lamely agree that I needed to exercise and can be back in shape." Remember, this is a rare occasion when she would love to be contradicted.
When she talks about her girlfriends
You are expected to be a mute listener in such a situation. Give her a patient hearing, and do not contribute or show interest in a certain friend. To get you interested in her female friends is not what she intends, and shall not take it kindly if you attempted it. Megha (21), a college-goer, gets very annoyed with her boyfriend when he displays un-called for curiosity in her girlfriends. "I lose the thread of the conversation. He digresses me into giving him unnecessary details about my friends, which I find revolting." Agreed, she is telling you about her pals, but you are only required to nod in agreement rather than get into a discussion, or worse still, oppose her.

The party, hosted by 'The Pundits', a senior prank society at Yale, is now being investigated for sexual assault and hazing of undergraduates. About 50 students attended the invitation-only annual nude bash.
Students were told to arrive at the party in costume, but midway through the night were told to strip naked. Members of the Pundits "were force-feeding people alcohol" as well as forcing several students to kiss each other. Later, 10 students had to be hospitalised for excessive drinking.
Attendees were allegedly told that they would be evaluated for Pundits membership. The party was part of the Pundits' "tap" process in which individuals try to impress club members to win a tap on the shoulder to join the club.
Invitees said the Pundits forced alcohol on them throughout the evening and they felt they could not refuse as they sought to impress the group to receive a tap.
The Yale police department is investigating the February 19 event, examining whether it amounted to a form of hazing. Yale police chief Ronnell Higgins said the YPD is also investigating "possible sexual assault".
Yale College dean Mary Miller said Yale "does not tolerate hazing or intimidation". "I am deeply disturbed by reports of heavy drinking by underage students in a context that could be construed as hazing," she said.
The Pundits society was founded in 1884 and for years has regularly hosted elaborate parties in which Yale co-eds strip and socialise in their birthday suits.
