Women seem to remember everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Men do not. This isnt a good combination. It means trouble. I always end up in trouble. My wife remembers everything with precise detail that almost every day, I find myself staring at her, a questioning look on my face and a dull "uhmmmmm... " in my brain.That's not a very bright thought, but it pretty much sums up the feeling you have when your beloved recounts the detailed events of a few weeks back, and you're wondering: "Was I there?"The thing that really can put the squeeze on a man's mind is that women seem to make an anniversary of most events. They remember where and when you met, everything that happened, and the clothes you both were wearing. These are the details that really do not stick in a man's brain. Women make an anniversary of the first time you met, kissed, went to a movie, became a couple and met her friends. Meanwhile, guys are like, "It happened, so what? What's dinner?" Women don't like that. They like to ponder and speculate, analyse and remember. They never forget - just like elephants!Uh-oh, I should not have put it that way. She wont be forgetting that either! (Be very, very careful in comparing a woman to animal, even if it is as cute as seal puppy. But that's another story for another day.)But why - oh why - are women and men so different in this way? It has actually happened once or twice that I remember stuff that my wife does not. Unfortunately for me, it is usually completely useless information, regarding football and supermodels. This however, sort of proves a point. The male and the female brain are wired in different ways, and science confirms this. According to research, women remember everyday events better than men. Tests also indicate that the female brain is more likely to remember words and objects, while men are more likely to find their way out of a forest. In other words, males are good at non-linguistic information or so-called visuospatial processing. (Uhmmmm...)Women apparently also remember emotions way longer than us. Like how angry she felt when you forgot it was the day of your first car ride together. Or something like that.Since this penchant for forgetting anniversaries seems to have some scientific backing, what can a women do to help when her man forgets something important? Please resist the instinctive urge to hit his head with a wok - it might just increase the bad memory.What I believe is the most efficient tool to make a guy remember is to reward him when he actually does remember - like you would do to a coconut-fetching monkey. So how do you do this? Good food is an option. To make us remember better like other decent human beings, feed us memory boosting omega-3 fatty acid and herbs every day, and hope for the best. But remember, it doesnt hurt to give us a discreet hint a few days before the big day. Its a trick any woman can easily use, and it has the ability to make a man think that he remembered it all by himself.
