      Further tip since I just started doing this.. I never remember my wife’s friends full couple names.. like both the husband and wife’s names. Maybe just one person but not both. So I started adding both names under her contact notes.. like “Joe and Mary”. Never mind that sometimes she doesn’t remember the husband’s names or any of my friends’ names either. Anyway saves the “you met/hung out with them once before how do you not remember their names” thing

    Dude, old men may be 'old' but not 'cold' They got the charm, experience and money,and many have stolen hot women from their pretty-boy boyfriends.A man is a man, no matter what age he is,and if he flirts and gets a reaction, you bet he will be up for action.
