Some people, women in particular, seem to think that because people have paid quite a bit of attention to them in the past, that they will always have that "magic". Then, as they older they get like the rest of us, they put on some weight, get a few more blemishes, lose some hair (more for the guys obviously), etc. In other words, your buddy is dealing with a couple of ladies (I use the term loosely) that are trying to relive their youthful days...it happens...it may not be right, but it happens.
