It means the person hasn't tried it before, but they enjoyed it, and would do it again.

For instance, if a person never went skydiving and then they went skydiving and really liked it, "they could get used to it" - they would do it again in the future, perhaps even as a hobby.

If someone slept in a comfy bed they can say "I could get used to this." Sure it loses "novelty" but it's better than what they were sleeping in before.

It's a bit of understatement/sarcasm said to humorous effect. Something is very nice indeed, but instead of gushing, you offhandedly say, "well, it's not so bad I couldn't get used to it if I tried really hard" while luxuriating in the pleasure.

The first time you try the finer things in life. You were fine with an 02 Corolla and then you borrowed a friends new car with heated and ventilated seats...

To me, the vibe is something like "I'd like to get used to this" as in, I'd like for this to become my new lifestyle. That if you had it consistently, it would become part of your life and you wouldn't be able to live without it afterwards.

Usually, getting used to something means that a situation seems unpleasant at first, but you will adjust and it won't bother you eventually. "The weather here is really hot, but you get used to it."

So, when you find yourself in a very nice, comfortable situation, saying, "I could get used to this," is a little joke. It's a way of acknowledging that the situation is very nice without stating the obvious.

It’s another way of saying “I am not used to this experience, but it is really good”. The phrase normally used when people try something beyond the level of luxury they are accustomed to for the first time (nice hotels, a fancy car, massage).

Ohh! This is the first comment I’ve read that makes it make sense (I think.) so basically it’s sarcasm? Or being ironic

Right. It's an understatement. It's like saying, "Not bad," when something extremely awesome happens.

Ohh okay! Thanks so much! I wish I had a free reward for you

Turns out I do have an award after all lol

Thank you!

Exactly that happened to me when I did my first tandem. I still skydive 14 years later. Best life decision ever.

Its partially sarcastic. Like a joke at how they'd have to "get used to" something that is better and more enjoyable in every way.

I think you have it right, but it has an ironic quality to it. The person is saying they would like to do it so much it would lose its novelty. I.e. they would like to do it regularly.

I’ve heard it used when something is really good or going well. E.G. I was staying in a really nice ski condo, and after skiing all day we were in the hot tub drinking whiskey and I said “I could get used to this (kind of lifestyle)”

I want to make it the norm. Turn her into my wife. Does they analogy make sense. It’s not like they are saying “I can’t wait to get bored with this”. That would be different

This is correct.

The criteria:

1. It is not something you usually do
2. You like it
3. It is above your normal lifestyle

You get your first professional massage. "I could get used to this". You drink expensive wine. "I could get used to this". You get showered with chocolates and flowers. "I could get used to this".

It's an understatement. You like the thing.

It has 2 meanings. The first is literal, meaning they don't really love it or like it but they could get used to it over time.

The current meaning is a sarcastic variation. When something is amazing that someone tries or sees for the first time, they can sarcastically say " I could get used to this."

Similar to saying "it's OK..." when you try or do something thing awesome.
