Why would any of that context matter to a 4channer?

1 - they are dog people. They probably married just because the dogs liked each others. 2 - it’s a cartoon. 3 - it’s just a fucking depiction of two people randomly meeting, it’s implied that they hit it off stellarly and, jes, people do MAd CRAZY things such as… marrying a person they are in love with. 4 - bestiality.

One of these is not like the other. My bet is number 2.

I dunno, 3 makes wild accusations about implied meanings. Seems suspect.

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

Conan O’Brian meeting his wife:

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.

Step 1) don’t be ugly
Step 2) see step 1

Exception to Rule 1: Be Conan Fucking O’Brian

Be affable
Be interesting
Be presentable
No one dreams about the guy they have to apologize for after you met them

I mean, Conan O’Brien isn’t exactly beautiful
notabot@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
“Don’t be ugly” is definitely helpful physically, but vital intelectually and emotionally.

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.

Alan Alda famously met his wife at a party, where someone dropped a cake on the floor. He and she were the only two who didn’t hesitate to scoop some up anyway.

Premarital sex being taboo sped things up
ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
And yet they had more premarital sex than millenials/gen z

I was just making a joke, but don’t doubt that you’re right. It’s a tough thing to measure as people aren’t always honest. Like if somebody took a poll in 1986 asking folks if they smoked weed, paranoia might cause smokers to say no

Lol, poor Anon thinks a Silent Generation meetcute in a cartoon is Boomers IRL.
Awwww…

My grandparents got married because my grandfather left his car keys in his coat on the rack by the door of a diner and someone grabbed his coat.
Apparently while they waited in the diner for a friend to pick them up he asked my grandmother if they should get married and she said
“Sure.”
3rd date. It was just something to do back then.Trex202@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
101 Dalmatians came out in 1961, these characters would be a part of the Silent Gen, or the Greatest Gen.

sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Not a boomer, but here’s how it worked for me:
- Meet at party, hit it off, and exchange numbers
- Text for a few days
- Date for a couple months
- Due to cruelties of hard to change plans, date long distance for a year
- Get married
Still together after 10+ years. We’re not all that different from the cartoon, and if we didn’t have the forced separation, we probably would’ve gotten married sooner.
lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
That’s basically how my wife and I met. Except we were never exclusive because she was a really good friend and I didn’t wanna fuck that up. We ended up going our separate ways when she went off to college… We reconnected platonically years later, and then realized we were both getting divorced at the same time. One thing led to another, and we’ve been married for almost 2 years now.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I’m happy for you! 😀
Friendship is the most important ingredient IMO, because a good friend is willing to change for the other, as well as look past deficiencies that don’t matter.

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.
ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
I’m going to assume if you arrange 1000 marriages a few are definitely bound to work out. For the rest though…
RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Arranged marriages have better results than love based ones in many cultures. It turns out having all your family who have had kids and been married have a clearer understanding of the couples compatibility than those in love.
Love will make you overlook the thing that your auntie would zero in on as a long term problem.
Rakonat@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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)
JoShmoe@ani.social 4 weeks ago
I didn’t bother going into details. It wasn’t an arranged marriage, the two were only arranged to meet. They chose to pursue a relationship entirely on their own.
kandoh@reddthat.com 4 weeks ago
Why would you ever want to meet someone and get married so quickly? Are you more interested in the appearance of what you consider to be a successful life, rather than having a life partner?
