Netplaying 

It’s what you do at a networking event to have fun, since they can be so boring. Fuck the hi, what do you do or what company do you work for, how about, what enjoyment do you bring to my life and why the hell aren’t we friends? 3 cocktail minimum, let’s do some business and hopefully our clothes stay on.
I have turned my networking experiences into netplaying because it is so much more fun. I had to Uber home but when I woke up next to Jenny from the block, it was so worth it. I’m sure we will do business for many more days to come.
