People Online Are Giggling At This "Every Woman’s Fantasy" Calendar From The '80s, Which Shows Men Doing House Chores

There comes a time in one's life when it becomes fascinating to see how our parents and grandparents lived when they were our age or younger, what their leisure activities were, and what amusing things they used to think of. With this in mind, a Twitter user named @fabiansociety chose to share his discoveries with others on the internet.

The discovery includes a few photos from a beefcake calendar that dates back to the 1980s. What makes it more intriguing is that this calendar was created by his mother and her sisters. Dr. Alexandra Solomon, a relationship therapist, notes, "Exploring past cultural artifacts can provide insight into the evolving dynamics of gender roles and relationships." This calendar exemplifies how a simple but daring thought can transform into something that looks professional and funny even after numerous years. The man began his now-viral Twitter thread, which has over 60K likes, by saying that his mother and her sisters made a calendar titled "Every Woman's Fantasy" way back in the '80s.

In this calendar, you can see different attractive men doing household chores like washing dishes, vacuuming, ironing clothes, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and so on. The first page of the 1988 calendar states that it depicts "real men doing what real women wish they'd do." As Dr. Solomon points out, "Humor and nostalgia can be powerful tools in understanding our past and shaping our future."

It was also revealed that they randomly approached the men in the calendar and that a few of the men in the photos were, in fact, models. However, they only welcomed attractive men who weren't professional models, so that some "regular hot dudes" could also be included in the calendar.
