Why do girls remember everything you tell them?

[mustang1998]

why do girls remember everything you tell them? A girl randomly texted me and asked if reese peanut butter cups were my favorite why does she remember that?

It's just us girls! I know it's weird. I still remember almost everything my ex-crush said to me. hell,I still remember even what he was wearing on a "first date" ,which was a year and a month ago lol. The female brain is very interesting lol. Girls are more likely to remember details ,(which is where all these wedding planning,clothing,picture- things come from),whilst the guys are laid back and usually don't care about all these small things,they look at things in general. There was a theory I think about colours.Guys only saw purple for example while girls see all types of shades like lavender,amethyst,lilac and other crap lol. It's just how the female brain functions.

It may not be that she tries to remember it. There a lot of things that I remember and I have no idea why I just know them. My boyfriend can tell me things about his family or whatever and I know it and remember it when I have no intention of doing so but he completely forgets and I remember ever detail of it. I can remember stupid things from back in elementary school things that don't matter and I don't try and remember but I remember it all

I remember things that are important or relevant to me. Like I took a course in Judaism and I remembered everything cause I was interested in Judaism and then I took a course in Islam and after a full semester I didn't know what an ummad was cause I wasn't interested in Islam as a religion.

I just have a good memory. About everything, small details, what color my boyfriend's little sisters nail polish was two weeks ago, etc. It's not something I have to work hard at. My boyfriend finds it inconvenient at times because he can't pretend things went down differently or he did or didnt' say something because I always remember.

I'm not sure, but I've had several guys say that women remember more details about people. Why don't guys remember more details about people and less about the stats of a football player from 10 years ago or how many models of an obscure car were made in a certain factory on year? Etc.

I have no clue! my memory though isn't that great with some stuff. And is not like I remember things only if I care about it, because I remember pretty useless information sometimes. And some guys remember a lot of stuff too.

I don't know about other girls, but I remember everything because I pay attention to the details. I remember things that other people forget.

Maybe she's like me.

Generally speaking, women are more obsessive creatures when it comes to details. Why, I'm not sure. We tend to pay attention to meaningless crap and drive ourselves crazy trying to give meaning to it, haha!

[TangerineFire1]

Because it is important to remember little details that make up the person that you are, silly goose.

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Have you never argued with a woman? Of course they remember everything you say and do.

[Pineappleexpress]

i don't get why guys consider that a bad thing?

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Because an argument should focus on the issue at hand, not what I did 6 months ago that was never brought up.

[toulouse]

men do this as well. this is caused by poor communication-not by women.

problem is not having a good memory. problem is perseveration on events that are currently not applicable. they were never resolved. solution is to confront things as they arise instead of ignoring it until an explosion.

its not exactly helpful in any argument past or present, to have a poor memory... resulting in those who fail to recall, or refuse to admit to facts , to put it upon themselves to reinvent history..

[christinalong338]

i agree toulouse... my boyfriend would rather blame me for accurately remembering the events than stick to the topic at hand.

[coldxgal]

If I like him then I pay attention to his words because I care about him.

[toulouse]

when something is important it is prioritized , therefore more accessible to memory.

[10angrycats]

We just do lol! I've got a photographic memory so that even further annoys friends.

[Pineappleexpress]

no, that just means she cares about you and actually processes in her mind what you say instead of just nodding her head and saying "mhm" like guys do. :D

[InquisitiveMale]

Props for being 16 and giving the answer I would have...

Our minds place value on information and if the person talking holds high value to us, we tend to both process and remember information more often, as well as with accuracy.

[everynameistaken]

cos we actually pay attention when you speak

[chocolateismylover]

Because we care
