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

[-] yeather@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Exception? You mean the standard.

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

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.

I mean, Conan O'Brien isn't exactly beautiful

I mean, I would have his babies, and I'm a straight man!

Have you seen that hair though?

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

For men:

  1. Be rich
  2. Don't be poor
[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Oh and not call all women gold diggers.

Which isn’t an IRL concern for most men. I used to be friends with a woman in a sugar baby relationship. She looks like a prettier version of Samantha Browning and I look like Waldo/Wally from Where’s Waldo if Waldo had bad skin and missing a few teeth.

Every once in a while someone would ask why I was hanging out with her and my reply would be something along the lines if she’s nice, interesting, and Im poor and I own a mirror. I had nothing to lose by hanging out with someone who was interested in beibg friends with me clearly because of whobI was rather than anything material I had to offer.

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.
