You may be sarcastic but too many ppl actually believe this.

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.

Don't forget the rampant domestic abuse that frequently came from the person you signd a life long contract with. Easy my ass

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Yaknow, when your right, your right

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 59 points 5 months ago

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

Premarital sex being taboo sped things up

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 50 points 5 months ago

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

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 8 points 5 months ago

Still looks amazing

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Not a boomer, but here's how it worked for me:

  1. Meet at party, hit it off, and exchange numbers
  2. Text for a few days
  3. Date for a couple months
  4. Due to cruelties of hard to change plans, date long distance for a year
  5. 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.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 15 points 5 months ago

the dog kinda roped 'em in to it.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 14 points 5 months 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?

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