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.

Exception to Rule 1: Be Conan Fucking O'Brian

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

This is like one step above the brainlets trying to retvrn to 50s advertising campaigns as though they were real life.

My former boss had a whole church community arrange a meeting between him and a woman, just so his parents could tell her parents what he thought of her. The two would eventually marry. It really was that easy back then. And yes they’re still happily married for reasons beyond my understanding.

I'm going to assume if you arrange 1000 marriages a few are definitely bound to work out. For the rest though...

Odds are if a church was involved, one or both are gaslighted into believing they are meant to be married that other person for better or worse, and regressive enough subculture/community that finds divorce abhorrent for any reason (other than the man could have a younger bride)

They did not. And even then, so darn many boomers think it's normal to dispise your partner you'd almost think they're a bunch of losers
