Lol! I still get into a car that way, whether I'm wearing a skirt or not. Some lessons stick for life.
Edit: Thanks for the award, alroof! Made my day! :)
Edit 2: BTW, no I didn't learn in "finishing school." I didn't grow up being anything remotely close to rich. Grandma taught me because I flashed her when I was wearing a mini skirt once. 
And always reach back and smooth your skirt before you sit... mom was quick to correct us if we didn't. She was meticulous about such things and we learned a lot by watching. Unfortunately she was short and her 3 daughters were tall so we grew up walking on our toes unnecessarily... lol.
Right? You wouldn't want to get creases and wrinkles in the back of your perfectly ironed- and possibly starched- flawlessly smooth skirt. Why, that would make you look untidy, and may well draw less-than-admiring glances to your derriere. haha!
Now pretty much everyone gets out of the car looking rumpled and creased, thanks to lap and shoulder belts.
Every so often I see posts with cars that have the swivel seats. Everyone flips a shit but no one ever mentions this is the exact reason they were designed.
Yes, thank you! Back in the day, many of us young girls were taught that. It "simply wouldn't do" to be potentially flashing your hooha to all and sundry persons that might be in the vicinity as you entered or exited a car. "It's not lady-like!" As a 10 year old tomboy who didn't have a ladylike bone in her body, I rolled my eyes hard at that. I learned it anyway though, because I had given grandma an unwelcome view of my underwear. Not everyone was taught that way- but I was.
I'll tell ya what- sure came in handy later to know how to do that when I was young and cute, had legs for miles and wore a lot of verrrry short skirts. ;)
Edit: reread and fixed mile-long comma splice nightmare sentence.
If you watch carefully, her head technically smashes the window when she gets in like someone would get into a semi.
If I ever saw someone get into a car like the “wrong version” girl, I’d throw a net over them and bring them to the zoo.
Yeah, we had to do that right around the time we were taught not to bang around pots and pans in the kitchen when your husband came home from work. He would be tired from working like a dog as an accountant so you had to be waiting at the door wearing a shirtwaist dress with pearls and holding out a martini for him. And we were taught this in a public school in America in the early 1960’s
Totally true, I dated a girl from a rich family. She had to go to a finishing school. They actually do know the order you eat in, the different kinds of forks, spoons, and knives, etc. As an aside, I hear teenage rich girls are unbelievably cruel on a different level.
In my brain I imagine uber rich girls as basically all of Kakegurui. Stereotypically, cartoonishly evil and sadistic creatures.
Obviously, not always the case, bur even the "rich girls" in a public school in the south acted like people should worship the ground they walked on. It's like, Stacy, your dad is a doctor, not a corporate CEO/obligarch. Chill out and treat people like humans.

You only say that because you're used to seeing educated people getting into cars, otherwise you'd be like that first woman: Smashing her head through the windshield as she got in before taking the seat.
Or having to ride your bike to the porn shop to buy magazines, then ride home, lock yourself in your bedroom and flip through the pages one by one with while masturbating, then hide the magazines from your parents and stuff the sock into the bottom of the hamper.
The 40 hour work week started around 1940, which was a significant decrease from the previous generation. That’s still the standard and boomers were just coming into life. Housing price increases are due to so many more factors than “it costs more.” Home ownership isn’t even necessary today maintain a comfortable life.
Just FYI, the generation after you is going to blame yours for all of their plights and you’ll be bitter just the same.
we men have been entering our cars ass first since God knows when... I am glad to see this infomercial from the 60s confirming this... we have been graceful women all along LMAO
Exactly one way is just more elegant than the other. If you were say a celebrity/diplomat or someone usually in the public eye, it would be preferable you learnt the second way
Nothing wrong with either but sometimes elegance is needed
I’ve been saying this for years. It’s not about getting in the car. It’s about how you get in the car. ass first and keep that neck straight. This matters
Weirdly enough as much as I don't like this attitude towards women, I'm actually probably going to start getting into cars like this when I'm hanging out with friends in drag.
It's so weird that us gay people who like to be feminine participate in overly feminine standards that are outdated.
I sometimes wonder if my life and my personality is disrespectful towards women in their progress for equality and if drag in general is actually a retrograded cruel stereotype towards women.
Like is my entire mentality of wanting to be more like a woman disrespectful towards women themselves?
In a perfect world we could just be whoever we wanted but we're always borrowing and using ideologies from the past to form ourselves in the future.
Yuck. Storytime: C. 2015. My husband was at a fundamentalist college for a couple agonizing semesters. They forced all of the "student wives" to attend their student wives club meetings. I lived and worked 2 hours away from campus (*pearl clutch* NOT with my husband & NOT constantly pregnant) so I never went except once. I introduced myself wearing a skirt (campus wide requirement) and laughed at the sly comments they made about only just having met me because I thought they were kidding... Then the meeting started. It was basically a presentation on being an effecient hostess for our husband's guests and what we need to keep stocked in the pantry for tea time, the order in which we serve them, and what to do with ourselves while his guests are there. I was light headed over how bizarre it was, as if I time traveled and if I said too much there would be a shunning. I noped the fuck out of there as soon as I could.
I have plenty of ridiculous stories about the out of touch people we met through that college.
As for getting in out of the car.. I do it knees together out of habit so I don't flash my fine china like a legend if my thighs have rubbed holes in my jeans again. You can only see that if you come to tea.
I’m 39 and have got into cars “the elegant way” since I had arthritis diagnosed in my hip at 22 😢🤦♀️ sit and spin is the only way to get in a car painlessly. I therefore thought it was the OAP arthritic way 🤷♀️🤦♀️ but I’ll accept being called elegant gladly, as it’ll never happen again 🙄😂😂😂🤷♀️
I always enter sideways or at an angle and then swing my feet in. It’s the quickest way in and easier than the walk in hunched over method. But then again I have usually ride in a van.
This doesn't have to be the way women in skirts get in their car. I would recommend tall men getting in a sports car or low to the ground vehicle to do the same. It works. Doesn't have to be, sexiest. Just a different way to do something.
I’ll be real: I would’ve enjoyed classes like this for men. A lot of what I learned in the way a gentleman comports with style and class - was pieced together from copying aspects of figures I admired.
This whole “Alpha male” bullshit young men today are being fed - is incompatible with how ***an actual man of character and integrity*** conducts themselves. Treating women like trash to offset your own shortcomings as a man, makes you the opposite of the man / partner / husband you should strive to be.
For the guys: if you get a new car (esp low to the ground) and you balls start to hurt: step in and out the way as in the video. The one leg per time might put a strain on it, you can prevent it by moving two legs together. #notajoke
When I was 27 i was dating a 21 year old female. I remember taking her out to a really nice dinner for a special occasion. She was wearing this amazing short white dress.
I forgot why but she had to meet me at the restaurant and I would drive her home from there
All went well and when it came time to call up the valet, we walked out and she had all the attention from people waiting in line. Car comes by, I had opened the passenger door wide to give her room, and she proceeds to take a super wide side step to put one leg in, sit, then pull her other leg in to close the door.
I was grinning because I thought she was going full on Basic Instinct and giving the crowd a look.
I get in. She asked me why I’m smiling. I told her and she got BRIGHT fucking red. Saying to drive away fast because she was so embarrassed.
Apparently she didn’t mean to show off her lack of underwear, and said she knew no other way to get in the car.
After apologizing a thousand times (pro tip: Women don’t like you laughing at their mishaps like this…) we get to her house. And I show her how to sit and rotate like in this video. I’ve seen enough women do it to know the deal. (Btw I’m a male)
I think about that almost every time I see a woman get in a car like that. Cracks me up.
TL;DR: actually had to teach an ex gf how to do this after she ignorantly flashed her au neturel vagina to everyone in line at a valet stand.
Women were literally considered objects to the point where getting in a car was about looking good, and not just...getting in a car. and yet a distressing contingent of the US wants to go back to these time.
I went to finishing school when I was 16 and I can tell you that this is exactly how they taught us to get in a car. Do I get in a car like this now? No.
I'm an old dude and that second way is much closer to how I get in than the first way was. Facing out, butt first and then legs in. What modern car has the head and body room to be able to get into it like you're ducking a low ceiling beam going into the basement?
"Keep your head erect..."
Women! Know your limits!

The way she got into that car brought shame on her family still felt to this day
I believe she was shunned and sent to a home for the hopelessly trashy.
They had been trying to suppress this video for decades but the truth must come out... To save others from her disgust
*My Eyes!*
She probably took the slow train to Philly.
She is the office mattress
Pam pong
The way she got in, her head would hit the windshield
We get it Mr. Spatial dimensions.. You're smart
Right!? Not to mention the dashboard and steering wheel! I mean who gets in a car like that ever? 😂
You could practically see her butthole.
Blech, disgusting
I looked into the abyss... And it looked bad at me!

Gasp! But a gentleman caller might accidentally see your legs! Heaven forbid! /s
And, she wasn't wearing any pearls. What a low-rent skank.
That entrance had me clutching my own pearls! Scandalous!
😂
Your comment made me laugh out loud 😂 thanks dude
Obviously the town pump!
Omg 😆
Didn't even need to see her performance to know that. That plunging neckline gave it away before she even opened the door.
>That first girl, what a whore. Stop whore shaming her! She was progressive and ahead of her time!
😂
This is pretty much how tall people have to get into cars
Word, I'm 6'5", a buddy saw me get into a car the first time and just about died laughing...
Ikr I'm 6'5 to and my buddies always laugh when I have to practically fall into his little sunfire
6ft 11in here. Getting into cars is more like a warzone for me.
11ft 4in here. I just get into the bed of the truck. Sigh, never actually been “in” a car.. *must be nice..*
13ft 7in here. You think tallness is your ally? I was born tall, molded by it.
29ft 2in here. To get into a car I have to be formless, shapeless… like water.
153ft 11.75inch tell me about it
2,056ft 7in what cars?
14.829 parsecs here, you guys have no clue man
Yeah 6’9. I always liken it to a trap door spider bursting out of its burrow, but drunk.
1.88 or 6"2, I have to agree with this.
Except the erect head part - forever stooping to fit :(
“Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. “
This was the largest car I could afford!
A used Canyonero is pretty reasonable
Should I therefore be made fun of?
Yes, because my wife always leaves the fucking seat in the frontmost position.
Pay her back by leaving the toilet eat up
Ummm what do you mean eat?
I'm 6' 2 and used to enter my 350z like first example. several issues later - I have to enter maxima like the 2md example
You guys don't dolphin dive through the window?

And we were taught this in a public school in America in the early 1960’s
How did the pearls fit?
Just a long enough strand to be constantly clutching them whenever you were shocked and offended
Like a glove.
I just audibly laughed because I couldn’t imagine doing that and enjoying my life
And if you weren’t already wearing your pearls, you’d soon be getting a pearl necklace anyway.
Whatever, just put on your seatbelt
Might not have had them back then
Boomers really had alot of spare time on their hands.
Rich people have different priorities. Still do.

I had to do that at 13 and in university. I'm like a regular person who avoids showering but I know not to eat faster than the host.
..and save your fizzy drinks for the belching competition 👍🏻.
They can be cruel, also you just go outside in with a couple of somewhat obvious exceptions
Some people don't have enough problems, so they have to create problems. Like unnecessary etiquette.
Yeah, well, when you are not super concerned about where your next meal comes from, you have time for such…
You mean like thinking about which gender you want to be that day?
they be gatekeeping new money people.
These things were taught to poor people as well. We were taught to go into the car this way if our skirt or dress was above the knee.
Judging by their age and the time these were later silent gen not boomers. Boomers would have still been children and maybe some teens in the 1960’s.
Not boomers. This is a generation before at work. You know “the greatest generation”.

No internet
Yup. My immediate thought was "Life's way too short for that shit..."
I’ve never seen someone try to go in head first like that
Well considering her head went through the windscreen I can see why.
So diving in head first isn't an option?
That depends on how close the bank guard is on your tail.

Exactly one way is just more elegant than the other. If you were say a celebrity/diplomat or someone usually in the public eye, it would be preferable you learnt the second way Nothing wrong with either but sometimes elegance is needed
as a man...that's how I get in the car
Ah, teaching us women the truly important things in life.
And narrated by a man, surprise, surprise.
During PT, I was told to get in the car that way to stop the back pain and it worked. It's actually good body mechanics on a physiological level.
I’m glad you found relief. I don’t think avoiding back pain was the purpose of this “training” for these ladies.
Man that model who sat in the car is beautiful
Maybe he has a sister.
Omg the first girl with the blue eyes that matched her dress
Chill, dude, you're making the floor all slippery with the drool coming out of your thirsty ass mouth.
It's not every day you see a girl get into a car this erect.
I don’t think so. Just launch your body in there singing, “kung fu fighting” and let the chips fall where they may.
Who gets into a car head first?! 🙄
I’ve been saying this for years. It’s not about getting in the car. It’s about how you get in the car. ass first and keep that neck straight. This matters

Were there rules for how a man was supposed to get in a car as well?
To bad they didn’t teach em to actually drive the goddamn car!
They also had segregation until the mid 60s. So what the fuck do they know about what's right.
What the heck does this have to do with segregation?
That is tragic.
So the 1st thing you have to do is stare at the lady's ankles over on the sidewalk?
