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.

Have you seen that hair though?

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

For men:

Be rich
Don't be poor

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.
