    No wait, the joke is that he understood her phrase as “I’m not really sexually attracted to you, but you feel good enough to settledown”

      Oh I know. I also know guys who misinterpret a relationship maturing as it dying and I’m just saying that if she’s seeing it mature and he just thinks it’s all about jumping bones, then there’s some really serious lack of communication there.
