WHY WOMEN REMEMBER DATES
I've got nothing, so this one is so old it is almost new again...from 2012.
Just a reminder for those who insist on correcting and or debating the premise, this is SATIRE! A comment on life by using humor, irony and or exaggeration.
A classic argument between men and women revolves around men’s inability to remember dates. Women remember the exact date of any event they consider important. Men vaguely remember the year…maybe the month and year. Because women remember the exact date so easily, it is very upsetting to them when a man does not also remember.Women correlate remembering the date with caring. If you cannot even remember the date of an important event, then you must not even care.
Mrs. C remembers the exact day of our first date. She remembers the first day I texted to her 143. She remembers the first day I verbalized 143 and told her I loved her. She remembers the date of everything. Not just the date, but the day of the week that date fell on.
How do women do it? What gives them this skill that men do not possess? I think it is simply a matter of biology and anatomy.
Because of anatomical and biological womanly functions, women are keenly aware of at least one day of every month. They know when that day is due, how many days after they will be affected and when possible, plan their activities around this day and the following 4-5 days.
Because they are always keenly aware of this monthly event they always have a frame of reference to remember all other important days in their life.
When was the first time my husband took me to a movie? Hmmm… it was March, eight days before I was expecting my regular event…It was March 9th, a Friday. What day did we get engaged? It was December, two days after my monthly event ended…December 19th…a Sunday.
If women want their man to remember important dates, they should mark their calendar. Circle your lunar event, mark the number of days that will follow, and adjust the calendar as irregularity requires. You will be surprised at the results.
What day did Aunt Martha have her operation? Hmmm…it was in July; three days before…you know…that would make it July 19th…a Tuesday.
OR
To really drill the importance of dates to your mate, inform him that every month you are going to kick him in the balls when he least expects it, and make sure he knows what day that event will occur.
When are we supposed to go out with the Frankles? Hmmm…As I recall it will be one week after you kick me in the balls this month…that would be the 17th…Saturday.
It is really very easy to remember dates, as long as you have a consistent frame of reference.
I have never used that particular method to remember important dates. Do other women really do this or do they just remember every important date regardless? I just write everything on my kitchen calendar, for instance on the first of January, I will go through each month and mark in the birthdays.

DeleteHeeheehee! Well, i must be weird, my Sweetie remembers dates a whole lot better than i do. He'll say, "it's the anniversary of XXX" and i'll say, really, it is? Not only do i not know how he does it, i don't know why he does it!
ReplyDeleteOops, then menopause came and the memory for new dates was just as solid as before. Could there be a flaw in that theory? At least your humor, irony and exaggeration stand firm.
ReplyDeleteWomen are constantly compiling evidence to be used to win future arguments. Men just make things up and hope to be believed.
ReplyDeleteI remember exactly the date, time and precise location when I was last told off for something I'm supposed to have done, or not done.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
sounds correct that women remember dates better than men because of physical monthly events ,i want to add that because they give birth to children which makes them far emotional than men and their deepening sensitivity sharpens their skills to remember well specially date because it is matter of "care" but it is my guess only .
ReplyDeletemen are better in navigation and i envy them strongly for this
