In 1951 we were still recovering from World War II, the top song in America was by Nat King Cole and looking like this said "reliable breadwinner and good husband who won't stop off at the bar and grill on the way home from work, ever" to the women out there.

Oh, and this was the most popular style for the ladies then:

What I'm saying is, if you didn't look like that in 1951 you WOULDN'T get laid.
