This is a movie from the '60s about WW2 in which a man who has always loved fish gets rejected for the Navy (4-F), and wishes he could become a fish ... which he ends up doing, becoming a Navy operative that helps the Navy destroy Nazi German U-boats.

The title character is portrayed by the well-known comic actor Don Knotts, who I think we can all say represented something akin to a StBlackOps2Cel-tier man of his era.
In the movie, he had a wife:
OK, her face is a little off, but she wasn't fat, and presumably neither a single mommy.
The point is that, in the current era, would it be possible for any man of Knott's looks to get anything close to a gal like this? This was what the zeitgeist of the post-WW2 was. To be ANY man that wasn't a criminal, there would be decent women thrown your way all the time, so that all you had to do was play that part of being respectable, and a wife would be guaranteed.
Oh, how the times have changed ...
