Netflix and Chill

     For the record I enjoy Netflix and on occasion I can be found chilling as well. However to miss this phrase is bliss defined and a number of subscriptions may fall victim to it's questionable connotation. Popularized by slothful sex seekers on apps like Tinder my first aquaintence with the euphemism came from countless condemning female profiles. Ample octogenarians will never LOL and boomers seldom find themselves "turnt up" but a learning curve applies to the adoption of any slang. Born of a social media culture content to copy paste their way between strange sheets this language affords the opportunity for a compromising tete-a-tete.
   
     His stale job description lended credibility to the position while justifying multiple tropical photo ops but it was the absence of shirtless selfies that really made Steve stand out. Relieved to engage in intelligent conversation with this top marks profile she was eager to draw back the curtain before wandering the yellow bricks too long. His suggestion to spectate a tennis match on the first date may have intrigued her had he not been one of the players, but it was the invitation to after party with Frank Underwood on his Futon that robbed her repose.
 
     Though the activity may be engaged in and sought out by all kinds, execution in the matter begs examination. Apparently the recurrence of "no Netflix and chill" hashtags witnessed in women's self-summaries is suspiciously absent from the men's. Steve's "keep it casual" approach lends a certain context for the dubious proposition and explains why so many easily identify ulterior motives before finding themselves in an uncomfortable situation. Unfortunately for Steve, this doesn't license him to ambiguously allure the gullible to his house of cards.
