This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Conan O'Brian meeting his wife:

https://people.com/tv/who-is-conan-obrien-liza-powel-obrien-wife/

"Then I left the room after this 20-minute conversation with only her. " After joking about having kids together during this initial conversation, the two exchanged information and began dating. In January 2002, the couple tied the knot.

So it happens, it just helps if you're tall and ginger.

i’m a 4 on a good day. Only dated once, she broke up with me, so I kinda accepted that I’m just not meant to have a partner.

1 year later I met a nice lady at a birthday party I wasn’t exactly invited to, we talked, yaddayadda, 12 years later we are still together.

Be affable

Be interesting

Be presentable

No one dreams about the guy they have to apologize for after you met them

Have you ever been on planet earth? That's sadly false in many instances.

For men:

  1. Be rich
  2. Don't be poor

No, you just have to be interesting to talk to, genial, and not look like complete shit.

Exception to Rule 1: Be Conan Fucking O'Brian

"Don't be ugly" is definitely helpful physically, but vital intelectually and emotionally.
