Why We Flirt

Single people flirt because they're single and therefore nobody is really contractually obliged to talk to them, sleep with them or scratch that difficult-to-reach part of the back.

But married people, they're a tougher puzzle. They've found themselves a suitable mate, had a bit of productive fun with the old gametes and ensured that at least some of their genes are carried into the next generation.

They've done their duty, evolutionarily speaking. Their genome will survive. So for Pete's sake, why do they persist with the game?
