Riley - Why We Flirt

Thesis - "One of the reasons we flirt in this way is that we can't help. We're programmed to do it, whether by biology or culture."

Paraphrase x3 - "Flirting is a way of testing one's mate-value and the possibility of alternatives--actually trying to see if someone might be available as an alternative."

- Flirting is another way to see if someone is worth of their time and possibly take over as the main person in the others life.
- Flirting is a test in life to see who is worth a person's time and who is not.
- Flirting is a way to see if a person is compatible with you and where they are worth some of your time or if you should just keep looking.

Flirting is just one of the many games in life that we all take part in. It is one of the ways that we as humans figure out who we want to be with for the rest of our lives. As this quote says, it is a way of seeing if a person is worth it in the long run or if we should just keep looking for something else.
