minus-square@Tylerdurdon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink142•1 day agoI had a friend who thought “Netflix & chill” just meant watch movies and relax, so she had it on her dating app profile and couldn’t understand why she only got hookups.

minus-square@Kusimulkku@lemm.eelinkfedilink22•22 hours agoIt’s like the older “come inside for coffee” thing. It could be just that but much more common to use it as pretense for initiating some coitus.

Or ignorance made a convenient fig leaf.
If you’re old enough, she’s correct.
So ugh where’d she post it again?
