It's 3am, you're steaming sat up in bed with an untouched pint of water on the nightstand and a half eaten kebab on your pillow; the next logical step is to call it a night.

Either way, their intentions aren't, shall we say, honourable. It's a safe bet that since Facebook launched about three lads worldwide have got laid via this tactic.
