A clever Tinder user is utilizing "Netflix and chill" -- the Internet's least subtle pick-up line -- to his advantage.

Imgur user vrpowell2000 incorporated the slang, a code phrase for sex, into his new Tinder photo.

Because why build up to "Netflix and chill" when you can just advertise it from the get-go? Vrpowell2000's photo pretty much sums up dating in 2015.

Anticipate that at least two people will wear this low-effort costume at your next Halloween party.

Update, September 29, 3:05 P.M. ET: Mashable caught up with vrpowell2000 -- real name Vincent Powell -- via email to hear the back story behind his viral Tinder photo.

"When I first started online dating I had a profile on Match.com and E-harmony, but I did not get many hits. My profile was honest, but a little boring. When I got on Tinder I decided to make my profile as ridiculous as I could. I quickly learned the way to a ladies heart is through humor."

As for how his look would fare as a Halloween costume, Powell reveals that was his original plan for the outfit:

"Originally the 'Netflix and Chill' thing was going to be a Halloween costume. I was going to wear a shirt that said 'Netflix' and my friend was going to be a bag of ice lol."
