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.

Why would any of that context matter to a 4channer?
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.
101 Dalmatians came out in 1961, these characters would be a part of the Silent Gen, or the Greatest Gen.
Fuck, is it really that old? Crazy
Still looks amazing
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.
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.
We joke that if we had been exclusive, we would have a 20 year old already.
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.
She's easily the kindest, most loving, empathetic, and supportive person I've ever met. And the best part is that when I finally told her my feelings (after we reconnected), they were reciprocated immediately, much to my shock and amazement haha.
Premarital sex being taboo sped things up
And yet they had more premarital sex than millenials/gen z
Edit: can't find the source where I had heard that. Maybe not true. This study shows the rates are lower than for millennials, but close. https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/hemez-nonmarital-sex-by-age-25-boomers-millennials-fp-17-11.html
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
Oh, totally. Just like to bring up that our grandparents/great grandparents were getting nasty even before widespread use of birth control, etc. Young folks today are having a lot less sex, or so I've heard, largely due to difficulties finding partners, stress, etc.
Didn't even have smartphones either.
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, yes, 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.

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?
Everyone knows Disney's movies are 100% accurate depictions of reality
You may be sarcastic but too many ppl actually believe this.
Ik right, Mickey Mouse exists irl
I'v seen him DJ
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.
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.
Step 1) don't be ugly
Step 2) see step 1
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
Disagree!
Disagree.
I mean, I would have his babies, and I'm a straight man!
Have you seen that hair though?
Exception to Rule 1: Be Conan Fucking O'Brian
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.

Anon needs to start crashing into women at the park
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
