Should I be concerned that one of my iPhone games (Two Dots) is being taken over by Zynga? …I’m especially thinking privacy-wise or supporting-a-communist-regime-wise.
Is flirting with your spouse weird after a point in the relationship? Like…if your partner sent you a flirty message or photo, would that be unexpected? Or is it always wanted?

Unexpected < > unwanted imo.

Sure, but let’s say you’re 80 and have been married for 60 years. Isn’t the benefit of a relationship that lasts that long that you can enter into a more mature dimension and flirting is kind of like…ridiculous? There are so few surprises left. Isn’t that the goal?
Flirting in a matured relationship always feels weird to me, but I get the sense I’m in the minority there.
Flirting says they find you attractive and still worth putting effort forth. Maybe unexpected but why would that be a negative thing?

But what if your spouse doesn’t find you attractive physically? Attraction fades at some point for everyone. Flirting seems pretty silly at that point.
It’s very possible I’m overthinking this. I tend to do that.
Ouch
Afraid to ask but
Is there no sex?

I’m not talking about my own relationship, I’m just speaking in hypotheticals. Physical attraction doesn’t last forever.
Attraction? I dunno. I think physical desire can.

Flirting is still fun. We like to laugh. We’re old and fat.

Schedule an eye dr appt for them. 
Most of my bad jokes elicit the response sequence below:
“You are soooo funny”
“Don’t forget ‘good lookin’”
“How can I forget that?”
As you can probably tell Mrs G is doing postdoctoral level work in sarcasm.

sounds like you’re uncomfortable with it, but looking for validation that it’s okay to be uncomfortable with it.
depends on the people imo.
that said, PDA or spouting off publicly about how much you love your soulmate is always unwelcome by others.
privately, do what makes you comfortable.
So flirting in this situation doesn’t indicate a relationship has matured?
no you are totally correct. This is gross and let’s just drop the subject
Who asks their doctor for a prescription based on TV commercials? I haven’t, but it must happen often based on the frequency of pharma commercials.

I think it depends on how truly new and different the medication is. Like with Viagra, those commercials were extremely effective because that was a really new and different treatment for something that previously didn’t have an effective treatment option.
Would seem to be an extreme minority of commercial advertising

I assume that marketing $$ must pay off.

There are a lot of people w the named comditions who have not really had good treatments before. Now, the dr should be offering many of them. But people w psoriasis, for example, have reason to ask if the doc isnt giving it out to them already
