You've been hooking up with a girl or guy for a while and you're in that stage where you do not know whether to run or stay put. You think that the person is pretty funny, cute and not crazy like that ex of yours. So what do you do? You decide to Netflix and chill because it provides a combination of your two favorite things: kissing and Netflix. And it's because of people like us that Netflix has decided to conduct research on the very logo to find out what is really going on behind the streaming.
According to the Observer, Netflix contracted the market research company, Ipsos, and surveyed 1,008 American users between the age of 18 and 39. The results may be a bit of a surprise to everyone, but it all proves that if you are in it for the long haul, Netflix and chill may be the way to go.
So, listen up ladies. The survey found that 34 percent of men "fall for someone based on similar tastes in movies and shows," (Similar to if you're into sports, a guy just seems to get 1,000 times more interested in you, don't you think?). If the guy or girl you're seeing is indecisive of making it official, it could be that you two don't have "show compatibility" with 27 percent of people responding that it's very important in finding the one. In other words, if a partner sees that the other person is not interested in the same content of television, they could decide that it's better to go your separate ways.
Now, this is where it gets kinda weird...Apparently 25 percent of users find someone more attractive based on their 'Continue Watching' list. So, the person you're dating could be deciding whether you're hot or not just on what shows you've decided to watch. Can I get a "WTF?" When analyzing this information, it all adds up. Just think about it. What do you talk to people about to break the ice? You talk about television shows you binge on or movies you cannot wait to see. According to the survey, 69 percent of people discuss movies, and 63 percent of people talk about television on a date or when hanging out with someone they have a crush on.
But getting past that first date and forwarding to a few weeks when you're in that weird stage, Netflix can help you make it official with 58 percent of couples finding themselves bonding over the streaming website. But what's the biggest sign that you've found someone special? When they share the password with you. Fifty-one percent of the users have said that they only share that when they see the relationship lasting.
So, if you're currently Netflix and chilling with someone right now, I truly wish you all the luck in your quest for love.
