Since many of the norms from 1950s USA are still prevalent today in Mexican society, especially when it comes to traditional gender roles, the purpose of this video is to see what a modern-day Mexican woman thinks of the gender roles of 1950s USA.
This is generalizing a bit, in heterosexual Mexico marriages, the wife typically doesn't have a full-time job unless the husband doesn't make enough money to support the family. It's mostly considered the wife's job to take care of the home and the kids. When the wife doesn't have a full-time job she will often have a part-time hobby business, such as selling baked goods.
If it isn't obvious from my white t-shirt, leather jacket, 1950s hairstyle, and me using lingo from that era ... THIS VIDEO IS ME PLAYING A ROLE OF A 1950s MAN.

May... sadly the Philippines are very similar to a 50s house wife in the US. I watch many videos of these Philippine woman that bend over backwards for their western men. A lot of western men travel there to find these traditional types. Then again, they are the ones that are supporting these women and they never have much of their own so it's almost as if they are bound to them and do anything to make them happy. Sadly at times it could be for something as simple as having a cup of rice to eat. The men step out on these ladies and 98%of the time they don't say a word about it. Or the men leave and visit the bars over night and still they don't say anything. Bottom line is... they are definitely the closest thing to a 50s house wife a man could get in this time period. I'm proud that you stood your ground and know your worth May. I think you and Jordan would be happy in your marriage ❤
Major red flag was revealed tonight Jordon. Listen to your gut.
@@cosmichef75What red flag? Can you please clarify.
Ah, the magazine article was NOT the norm, it's just silly
I absolutely love this video. May's faces and reactions are the best! 😂😂😂
I love her accent and English.
And, now I am laughing at May questioning everything 😂 😂
I wish I had kept track of how many times Maya rolled her eyes! 😂
So many comments missed the part about this being a fun skit about a magazine article from 1955. Cmon people watch it again...
This is how my Mexican grandfather was with my grandma and his female daughters, (my mom and aunts).
I’ll bet they lived happy lives.
Way to go, May! So glad to hear your reactions. This was hilarious, probably the funniest of all the TT videos to date
Families stayed together with the traditional roles and children thrived having both male and female role models.
Remember on the I Love Lucy Show, Ricky took a poster board and wrote down all of Lucy's chores, hour by hour for the day? Even back in the 50s, this iconic show was making fun of the rediculous "rules" that husbands expected their wives to comply with.
Actually that was predictive re- programming, before what they soon 'unleashed' in the 1960s. Much like they do today, with almost everything... Marxism 101. (From television and Hollywood, to public edu "indoctrination..." the Western plus, worldwide. ;-)
This is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs, this was a great vlog :)
I actually observed a Mexican family in the Antelope Valley of California 10 years ago where the husband arrived at home, the meal was ready and the wife knelt down and removed his work boots from his feet when he got home and sat down in the family living room before he went to the bathroom to wash up in preparation for dinner which was ready for him on the dining room table.
ask a Germanic Anglo Saxon American woman to do that today and she will be walking away with all your money after your divorce.😁😁😁😁
LOL... Didn't take the AI 'bot' long, to find this: Reverse narcissism... Imagine, a time when co- dependent women acted like mate complimenting "ladies..." and actually still "worked in the home, raising a family" (as they did for tens to hundreds of thousands of years...) instead of competing, with men. WOW! But this was obviously "satire..." even in the 1950s in the publications it was published in, in preparation of what was soon to be "unleashed." (i.e. When most men were still being MEN... working outside the home, earning most of the money (when 10- 12% was spent, on housing...) and providing and protecting... before they 'conned' women into also living an 'unfulfilling' life to "serve the 'slave' system..." beginning right after that, in the mid- 1960s. (While also encouraging their offspring get 'indoctrinated...' into being "tax and debt slaves..." of the .01%.)
If Mexico is where the US was after the IH$ cult's Trojan horsed: "Vatican 2.0" (1958- '62) and so- called "British InvaSION..." (turned UN/ WEF/ E$G) just look northward, and to Western Europe, etc. to SEE how things will soon "change, for the worse." (And if women there soon become like the ones here in the US and Canada, etc., then the birth rate will DROP below 2.2 "replacement rate" exponentially, as well within several decades, by design... and that isn't what ANYONE but the top elites, and their "useful idiot" masses of brain- drained Cluster B personality "entitled" botheads (now filing over 80% of US divorces, then letting public indoctrination "brainwash" over 40% of the kids) want. Femi- schism soon DESTROYS everything... from "the family," to the society... within two de- generations, yet they are still: "pushing it" HARD to "destabilize, and subvert..." as THAT was, and remains "the plan..." all along! Frankist funded Fabian Socialist, to Postmoderne MARXism, 101.)
I love May even more today! She is so real. But its so funny... some of these are okay but some are like say what. 😂😂😂
Maya is much better than the tattooed alien head
When I walk through that door, I want to hear the frying pan sizzles.
8:53 That "OMG come on now" look on her face...priceless
This is so much fun to watch! Great idea for a video!
We are living in the days when you are better off focusing on raising your capital in order to attract the female companion that leaves in the morning because these (princesses) of today weren't raised to be wives but rather self intitled brats. Goodluck gentlemen
Yep lol! I encourage men today to get married obviously, but honestly, there are not many if any women in the western world worth a McDonald’s dollar menu dinner date. I hope the west falls quickly so that they can wallow in the bitter misery of what they let get away from them. A bunch of flipping idiots.
To whoever replied, it doesn't show up on my end.
It’s sad to see that feminism of the west has now infiltrated non western nations
Still nothing
Im a American/Mexican woman. I watched my mom do housework, cooking, laundry, watching over us and looking good with such eaze. However there were no soap operas back then. Not everyone in our neighborhood could afford a phone and we didnt have alot of stuff in our house. Everything was pristine.
I loved having dinner for my husband and serving him. Having house clean and his clothes ready for the next day. There is nothing to be ashamed of for doing for your husband.
It's a good thing you had this little chat before getting married. 😉
Thank you for this guide... Absolutely perfect.
This was funny!!! 😂💕💖 But funny NOW!! Not back then!!
I remember my sweet Asian friend telling me she did allllll these things and more. She would dry her husband after bath, massage his feet etc etc.
Definitely used to be this way in many parts if the World!!!
You guys are the cutest couple!! May is a Princess. And Jordan spoils her 🥰💕 I bet she does a lot of things for Jordan out of love because it is RECIPROCAL! 💗💕💖💕💗💖
Is your friend single now or does she have a single sister? Asking for a friend
🇲🇽. Felicitations Jordan and May! I hope you also have the family you have always wanted, too!
This was fun to watch , can't believe these tips😀😀
I have been married 3 times to men from Mexico. This sounds like 85% about each one of them.
Wonderful video! Laughed out loud several times.
She passed with flying colors. You have found a strong, independent family woman. Put a ring on it!
When listening to the list keep in mind the life of the man and wife were as follows.
Te man would work 8 - 5 which means he leaves the house at 7 and arrives at 6. He had to eat dinner and be in bed by 9 or ten.
Thew wife would be at the house all day with the kids if they had them.
The man had 3 or 4 hours tops to wind down after work so I can see how some of these would facilitate that.
They're right about the ribbon in the hair, though. That's important, ladies!
Tip 9. The last line - Remember, my topics of conversation are more important than yours" I actually added that line in round about 1985 and produced it as a paper copy format which had to be photocopied and passed around. Great to see it has made its way all over the world. Great work guys and congratulations on your engagement. Max in Bonnie Scotland
This was fantastic hahaha ❤
This was fun
This was very entertaining😂
I've seen these before and they are funny. The main thing to remember was it was both people taking care of each other, the husband would work to provide a good life for his family and the wife would provide a good home for her family. The woman wasn't a slave for her domestic skills and the man wasn't a slave for working and spending that money on his family rather than just himself. I guess there was more of people looking out for each other and working to make each other happy than they might be in today's marriages. Sometimes it doesn't work out, that happens, it just seems too many couples give up too easily nowadays rather than working things out. I'm hoping to see a turn around in this, I probably won't but it would be awesome.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a traditional kind of marriage if both people are happy and respect each other.
That was fun. So now you know!!!
In today's society, these rules seem crazy. I wonder if there is a similar list that has been updated in the past 10 or so years. It would be fun to compare to these old-fashioned tips.
This was to funny, my wife never lough this loud
It may not be a popular opinion these days.
But, those were actually very good tips.
The divorce rate is 50%.
There is probably a reason why.
I agree. Not that a woman should only put her husband’s needs before her own and never talk freely, but genuine interest in the husband from the wife usually did lead to a husband being genuinely interested in his wife too. It’s ok. I love where I live haha in the middle of progressive but regressive USA seeing a bunch of angry 35-50 year old women who are past their prime in sexual attraction (get mad all you want prog-women lol ok?) whining about how now that they are ready to settle down, can’t find a man. Selfish behavior has consequences and western culture is in free fall due to it. I’m glad I married a wonderful spouse who loves me, whom I love, and that we both work together to raise our beautiful children.
Edit: before I get labeled a boomer, I assure you that I’m not even close.
@@dcarts5616preach brother preach!!!
@@dcarts5616 A wife should absolutely put her husband's needs before her own.....and the husband should put the wife's needs before his own.
Keep in mind...in 1955 US, wives were homemakers and husband's worked outside of the home.
Her "job" was to be a homemaker. If the husband was doing his job properly to provide income for the home then she should be doing her job as well.
Even today... both spouses should put out effort to make the other spouses life a happy one....
Modern society, in the US, has NOT improved. It has taught women that their husbands are their adversaries and they should do only for themselves and hold their husband in contempt. And then they wonder why men don't want to marry now...and often why they don't even want to date.
If both partners do not WANT to put out effort to make the others life better and more enjoyable, then they honestly shouldn't be together. Its a recipe for unhappiness.
@@chandie5298 we agree! Well said.
That cracked my mind
I hope you let May set that "list" on fire afterwards😂
Awesome haha ive said Mexico now is like 1950s to 1970s USA. Dating a Mexican very serious (from Canazuela and shes from Veracruz) and happy. 2 of my friends found Mexican ladies too.
Cooking is a big culture thing where my GF gets mocked & teased by her tias and primas for not being good or enjoying cooking. She loves that I enjoy cooking as a replacement but its definitely thing, her mother makes a hardcore effort to feed the men. Come come!
Well, these escalated quickly, especially the "I'm more important than you" 😂
that was fun
That how my moms life was with my dad. They where born way over 1955 so many women still lived liked that in the USA and in Mexico. (We are Mexican in US.)
Was your mother a stay @ home wife??
@mimi7914 These broads can't handle the gig let alone understand the "term lol
@@mimi7914 ok? Someone has to work. It’s best to have married stable parents raising kids instead of a taken advantage grandparent or a bunch of TikTok addicted minimum wage pipsqueak wimps raising our kid’s in some overpriced daycare, don’t you agree? I hate that western culture has forced many households to have both parents working full time. The western world is crumbling and they can’t figure out why…well…sigh.
Now this is funny 😂
Beautiful couple 😊😊
It's about time Maya is back!
It would be great to hear the husbands responsibilities from that time.
It's the same as it's always been. Provide, protect and fix broken things in the house.
He worked from 8 to 5 and probably had a 1 hour trip to get to and from work daily. He would be in bed by 10 at the latest so he had 3 or 4 hours after work to do what he wanted to do.
I can see all the feminist triggered and looking for a debate...well, I'm free at the moment 😂😂
It was cool back in 1950s
Funny, when you say marriage...she has that sarcastic laugh and closes her eyes
I think that article was actually a hoax but was probably based off of the 1960s book called Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin.
When will there be a new Vegas video
Very cute. Beautiful dress
I've never liked her more. Great reactions.
Greetings friend beautiful experience
Marry Mya and you may end up being Mr. Mom.
He's already wearing the dress.😆🤠✌️
Wow, I thought May was 22!
SHE looks just like a Robert Palmer Dancer ...simply irresistable ...she's so fine (you are a lucky hombre')
How about tips for husband?
I just sent the article to my Mexican novia on What’s as a joke. Should be funny
👍👍👍👍
This is funny
Ha!
It only goes down hill once the ring goes on. These are some major red flags Jordon.
Try living under these rules for a week.
(I dare you). 🤪
Stay well. Stay happy. Peace.
In 1955 and today US norms seem too liberal and debaucherious to LatinAmericans . Meanwhile now we’re practically equal male and females. Both gender still have responsibilities that come with the territory. That’s why you get married not to have a girlfriend but to have someone to take care of you. If not, it’s not worth it. Sorry, Jordan you might have to put tinder on hold and go to those little magic towns to get a proper wife. 🤣🤣🤣😅
Nice experiment, there must be a list whit the things that you the man in the realationship must do for your woman! like pay for everithing, be a gentleman, treat her like a queen, and some other things so, maybe is not that bad as it looks like! for example, if my girl could make the money to pay everyting I´ll be glad of quit my job and do every step of that list for her! jajajajaja! I mean, is win to win! and its all about to share!
We just got a full time housekeeper....
People take a magazine's article as a norm. The equivalent today would be to think that every woman does what Cosmopolitan tells us to do. Articles reflect some general views but usually go to a certain extreme. Men in the 50's did a lot for the household as well and they didn't have as an affectionate a relationship with their children as many do today. So, it wasn't all the burden on the women of that time.
I had those thoughts as well - that it’s likely a more extreme view of the norms of the day
Who's the master? 😂
My mother lived with this rules and my father would cheat on her all the time.
The worst answer May gave for question -will she be happy when you come back from work,she said ehhhh no.For all your tips May gave negative answers.That's why she never got married and she is 32.She said if you won't agree with her you will sleep outside.What?!!And the slap on the face at the end after saying about dinner?You must be blind or something.Only red flags about her.
Another tip coming from a 63 year old husband. Dont be angry all the time. That goes to both.
When are you guys announcing the pregnancy?
What are you talking about? She’s catholic and he’s a a gentleman. I’m sure they aren’t going to have an out of wedlock child. They respect their parents too much, I guarantee it.
Hi! Thanks for asking! Eve thought we would love to have a baby & we’ve talk about that a lot; we still have lots of things to do like becoming engaged; getting married, get our new house, etc. more than because of a religious or internal familiar reason, I like having order in my life, that’s part of who I am. So I honestly doubt that the baby would come after all that.
hahaha - hilarious. On another note - that WAS the expection I was raised with in the 50's and became a wife / mother in 1970. Things were changing by then, but I was schooled by my older siblings for the expectations of the 50's. One of the good things the 60's brought for women. Unfortunately, many of the feminists of the time seem to be in hiding in present day.
What about having kids? I don't think that was covered, except to simply silence them when Daddy gets home.
She didnt pass. Find another one
Bring back the 50s
Funny how he was with someone for 5+ years that certainly didn't fit this video.
This reminds me of the old movie "The Stepford Wives!" Ha ha ha! Ja ja ja!!!
I am looking for traditional marriage, but i have a online business making 6 figures. So, this money will be just for me.
This is a double edged sword. Depending on work schedules. Both husband and wife so the roles can be reversed. My wife works and she props food for the week and just throw it in the oven every other day. We eat the same thing twice , then put another peeped dish in and repeat.Sometimes I make up her plate and I wash the dishes and clear off the table. So she can go to the gym and get home at a decent time, if you have kids everything is up in the air you both just pitch in we’re your needed. Kids are tiring
Are you going to become a Mexican citizen ?
Re: Tips: If a woman works she can't be expected to be the perfect homemaker like she could be if she didn't work, but, if she is a stay at home wife, I would say that I personally would be okay with several of the tips. 1. I don't mind planning and making nice meals. So I would be okay with that. 2. It's not a bad idea to look nice for someone you love minus the ribbon. lol 3. I'm okay with this one because I don't like to be bored either. So I don't have an issue with throwing some excitement into the mix. 4. I don't like clutter or messiness so I wouldn't need to tidy up during the last 15 minutes it would already be clean. lol 5. If there is a fireplace and it's cold, why not light the fire? Besides it's romantic. 6. It's a good idea if possible. 7. That should be easy most of the time if you love someone, unless it was a bad day. 8. It's not that hard to smile so why not? 9. I will break on this one. Shared experiences by both people should be equally discussed. He's not more important than she is. 10. This one is a good idea in theory, but again, it depends on what happened during the day. If the plumbing just flooded the entire place it would be difficult to do. lol 11. Forget this one, maybe late can be explained, but all night? Without a phone call? All I can say is he better be pinned under a car in a traffic accident or the relationship would be over as far as I'm concerned. 12. I could do that. 13. I could do it but I don't see myself removing his shoes unless it was a request. lol 14. This one I have a problem with because he sounds like a narcissist. I don't mind a guy taking the lead as long as he's intelligent and makes sound decisions, but I feel he should share things with his wife and take her feelings into consideration. No one wants an unreasonable tyrant. "No right to question him"? I'm not okay with this one. lol 15. "a good wife always knows her place"? It depends on what it means. If it means she is treated like a subservient No way, but if it means she should use discernment in social settings so as not to embarrass him then yes. The same should apply to him. lol So there you have my take on it for what it's worth. I might view it more traditionally than some, but even I have my limits. lol 🧚♀
May's reactions are exactly how I feel! Crazy that women were treated with no respect and no regard for their feelings by men...disgusting chauvinistic mentality! Thank God times have changed a lot! I wouldn't get married either! 😬
Lol
Why haven't you tied the knot?
It is a fact that daughter belong to their fathers as do their wives. They are property. I tried to teach my nieces to make their own lives then bring a man into their life instead of her going into the mans life. None of them listened.
Jordan do you live in a different world 😊
What do you mean? I'm playing the role of a 1950s man in this video while reading this magazine article.
Go listen to the intro. He’s reading an article from a 1950’s magazine. Today, that magazine article would be like the Washington Post or The New Yorks Times in reliability and truth in todays world, in other words, he’s reading a gossip magazine column and it’s just funny.
I wonder how common mental and emotional break downs of the wife were back then. Lol
All the women I've had the pleasure of meeting from the Era are and were built differently and very capable of dealing with the hard days and good days
Western culture was less selfish and the people were emotionally and mentally stronger (I said stronger, I don’t say they didn’t have issues to work through) back then generally. Today’s western woman wouldn’t last a week in a happy 50’s or 60’s household.
I wonder what’s changed?
Well, by the 1960s a lot of women were addicted to pills, alcohol and cigarettes, so one has to wonder if a lot of that stemmed from their early years of marriage in the '50s.
😂
Either you work or you tend to my every needs or go find your own way, but if my woman chooses the route of stay at home wife I will expect you to tend to me as a tend to the household you and the kids.
@@mimi7914 i believe that lands on the part where i mentioned she tends to me (cooks, cleans, tends to our kids)
So if she works, that means you're going to hire a full-time maid/housekeeper, chef, full time nanny, driver to get the kids where they need to be, pick them up after school, etc.?
Lol, Mai doesn't want to be the perfect 1950s wife, I guess on average most women in Mexico are still post 1970s US in mentality. still beats the modern women in 2024 US though.
Great video, we still infested of conservationist people here in Mexico, who goes by those rules
What happened to your first girlfriend that you started the channel with???
They did a video on it a while ago. It’s actually one of the first TD videos I saw. I think his old girlfriend didn’t want to have kids, he did. They called it quits amicably and now Jordan found Maya.
His first girlfriend he started the channel with left and started a brand new You Tube channel called MaddieGold. She still makes videos, as a solo female in Mexico. That is an interesting channel to check out too. MaddieGold just did an amazing few videos on Oaxaca, so definitely worth looking at.
I think she's in a bad mood. Its just aabout both people being nice to each other. Nobody is a slave.
Many US men think they are going to find a woman less interested in equality, in essence a 2cnd mom in other countries, someone to assist like a free maid. Good luck! That’s why lots of Latinas are WAITING or simply not choosing to marry. We have college degrees and expectations of equal household chores and equal childcare responsibilities. I think a conversation on all the great educational and work changes Latinas FINALLY experience after excluded via law and traditions of the past and to be finally fully human is a more interesting story. I hope May is aware of red flags, lol.
enjoy your cats and boxes of wine.
if you do not want to specifically make your husbands life better....to make the home a haven, then you don't deserve a husband.
And I do think the husband should specifically put out great effort to make his wifes life better and happier as well.
What you're describing is seeing the husband as an adversary rather than a partner....and holding him in contempt.
You've been indoctrinated into a narrative guaranteed to bring you a life of misery.
But you are right about one thing. I do expect...and won't except less....than a wife who desires to put out effort to make my home a haven from the stressors of the world. If she is not of that mind.....exactly why would I want to marry her? Because I WANT an adversary in my homelife?
Well...that went well Jordan. 🤨
Here in Utah, we don't get backtalk from any of our wives. Mormon sister wives school each other on being obedient & respectful. Become LDS and move to Utah---You will be treated like the god you will become.
But your living in sin and well, eternity won't be so cushy.
@@searchingforsigns8445 who’s living in sin?
Mormon sister-wives? Utah? Gods you will become? What on earth are you talking about?
@@dcarts5616 Obviously, you don't know what Mormonism is. Here is your first lesson: czcams.com/video/Pgw-C_DTVo8/video.html
Oh man, do you really want this to survive? I don't think the world works that way.
What are the rules for the men? 😣
Ah, this is SO outdated in the US. The most poplular approach is "How to make your husband miserable!" or,
"How to make sure your boyfriend will NEVER marry you!"
Exactly the point he made... It is outdated. He's reading something from the 1950s that was published and beaten into the heads of women of that era. It's a joke in other words, his narration of it to her, to show how ridiculous it is and get her opinions on that which was published so long ago. It's interesting to hear her perspective on things having grown up in Mexico as lots of things mirrored the United States in many ways and then of course there was commonly accepted norms that stemmed from traditional customs and ideals, now also considered to be outdated buy a large majority of the population in Mexico.
@@julieb0925 Well, if you think the 1950s in the US were like that, you might do a reality check. It wasn't.
In 1955 women you couldn’t even vote 🤨
She complains about women suffering in the past. She should take a look at modern women in the US and how it affects society.
