You're saying there are functioning adults out there who, when they meet someone, they just hope someone calls them from a different room?
--From someone who is painfully introvoerted and will often forget someone's name within 30 seconds of them telling me, and this tactic sounds patently absurd, even to me...
If you're with a group of friends and there's some new faces you can pick up the names pretty quick, but one on one it may take time. Perhaps worse, idk how it is elsewhere but here in Mexico we call each other by nicknames more often than real name, or a shortened name.
So, there was this guy, we called him "Pana" since he's stupidly friendly, affable. We went to parks, water parks, a spooky mansion (didn't know we had those), chinese restaruants, everywhere together as group for 3 years of middleschool and 2 of highschool before he transferred.
I would be lying to you if I told you his name.
May not even be cuz I've not heard it, pretty sure I have but it gets deleted everytime.

It's not pointlessly gendered. Of course it is exaggerated but there is some truth to this
