I ran across an article on brain differences in men and women and happily followed links for almost an hour. I’m going to do several posts on this topic.

A massive number of studies have found a significant difference in the male and female brain. Of course, there are individual variations, but for much of this, there is very little if any overlap. It’s not surprising our brains are different since they are shaped and modified by hormones. More testosterone results in a different brain for men and there is no way to change that fact.

One brain difference is the relative size of the hippocampus, which is larger in women. The hippocampus is where we store memories. This is why you remember details he doesn’t, and why he forgets things you recall. 

So don’t get upset at him and please don’t think his not remembering means he doesn’t care! His brain is optimised for other things.
