Why do guys have such bad memory?

i dont get it! :s its super annoying!! aaagghhh

Answers:
I think I used to know, but I've forgotten.

Seriously though, I think it's fair to say that on the whole, women listen more attentively than men, even to irrelevant details. Men tend to concentrate more on key words and phrases.
Next time you speak to a man and you think he's not paying proper attention, try to throw in a few "bait" words to grab his attention.
For example, no matter what you're talking about - it could be something as mundane as the weather - try to include a key word such as "football" or "sex" or "Porsche" - he'll soon be paying attention!
I call it selective memory
Sorry. Who are you again?
cause we have alot on our minds
It must be to do with the pea brain!
Because the ones with memory u don't like. So u get what u deserve : " A doll face with no brains "
Sorry girls have the bad memory they always give the wrong phone number out to a guy do they not
To block out all the annoying female moaning poured into our earholes on a daily basis.
Testosterone!
No, we just have so many things to remember that we have to prioritise things and so, facts involving important things like football, beer etc. get remembered and things like soaps, relationships etc. don't.
because they worship more than "one" goddess.
Coz they have such small brains
You gotta make sure he know's what your saying at the time is important, other wise he will forget the small stuff. And make sure the important stuff is really important or he will not take you seriuosly.
not a bad MEMORY. a SELECTIVE one
What was that question again.?
Why do women always generalise?

As for …err.. what was the question?
are youi joking? they have a perfect memory, they just pretend they don't! lol
Its all to do with the limbic brain.

Men and women have completely different brain setup's. Females are better with all things to do with bringing up a child, while males are the hunter-gatherer types and all that encompasses.

Evolution hasn't caught up to our modern day lives is all!
I forget.

Seriously, different people choose to remember different things, that's all.
Things that are important to "A" may be of no consequence to "B" and so make little impact on "B" and are not remembered.

I am sure there are many things you do not remember that others (male and female) do.

Isn't the real issue that you think others should be and do just like you?
Is that reasonable or likely?
We (men) only store useful things in our brain! like types of beer and sport associated info!
all down to priorities.
men just have a different way of prioritising their day than what woman do. this often clashes, but remember, don't be too annoyed or angry, half the time men are unaware that they have done something wrong....please be patient with them, there are some good ones out there!

How rude and offensive.

But it's probably becuase some have to remember several girls names.
when you find out you should let me know i want to know the same answer
err what was the question again?
Selective memory.Woman tell little white lies to keep from hurting feelings, when a guys says he forgot, it is his little white lie. He doesn't want to hurt your feelings, by making you seem second place in his life or let you know he wasn't that concerned about it
i think its because they choose not to remember certain things. a lot of guys at my schoo are dumb. Id say about 60%
My dad says that little, unimportant things aren't significant enough for him to remember. He says, 'I remember to pay the bills, though, don't I?' I dunno. Maybe it's just that their minds are on something else at the time.
i did know the answer but ive forgotten it!
I am a guy and my wife tells me that all the time. Being married, it's almost a perk now to watch her get so upset when I have no idea about details of a plan that she has told be about 2 days ago. But truth is, I have thought about it and wondered the same thing. I think you just get so used to that persons voice, that at times you tune them out. The only problem is you begin to tune out too much and it becomes habit. I guess it's the same thing when you get used to a particular life style, you get complacent about things and don't notice out of the ordinary things until they bite you. I have found that I listen more when I am out of my environment or on a vacation. It sets the clock over if you know what I mean. Hope that helped.
bcause we don't waste our time remembering stuff that we don't care about, like what Mrs. Simpson wore to the party (unless of course, she wore something interesting...)
well, for one thing if it isn't about sex, sports, or food, or themselves they just aren't interested..men have selective memory only remember the those pleasure seeking memories of their past..putting a good spin on it all!!..NATURE OF THE BEAST THEY JUST MADE THAT WAY HONEY.. however rarely you might find might one in a million that ain't that way..GOOD LUCK!!
