It seems women have eyes in the back of their heads and remember everything. I've seen this so many times. Colors, what was said, how it was said, etc..Is that all/most women. If you don't remember stuff so well, do you have less emotion? I wonder if it is related to how emotional women are?
I've heard a theory on this that women over aged would go searching for berries and such and have to remember how to get there. Men might sit in the grasses waiting for some tasty creature to wander within range of his spear. So we're more "focused", but can stare into oblivion and not think or remember. e. g. the mans "nothing box".
No way. I am terrible at recalling conversations verbatim. I have a certain emotional filters that drive my life and most experiences that I have. So do most people but I think others have more connectedness with the in-the- moment dialogue whereas I'm more connected with observing my own emotions, or the emotional responses from others. So during any heightened emotional state (fear, anxiousness, stress, etc), my emotional filter is up and I'm unintentionally analyzing voice inflections or body language of myself and whomever else I'm interacting with. It is only when I'm calm and in familiarity that I feel more engaged in the actual dialogue of conversation.
I know you didn't specifically ask about remembering everything in regards to this area but this is where I find my own "weakness" in recall.
