Some men are not digit-al when it comes to remembering important dates. When ‘she’ is pretty serious about remembering  ‘his’ birthday, ‘their’ first date, or even the minute and second of when ‘they’ first shook hands, he is neglectful about popular occasions like the Valentine’s Day or personal stuffs like his own birthday. Many times, his memory about rest of the world is quite better but it is bad at remembering the numbers: Numbers that are more than memory in his life.  Is he astonishingly forgetful or willingly unaware? Here we conceptualize eight thoughts that may be responsible for men’s Goldfish-like memory on remembering important dates. And yes, this necessarily does not apply to all men.
 
Thought 1:  Remembering important dates sounds like a womanly matter. It is not manly man!

Thought 2:  Many men do not remember. So, I don’t.

Thought 3: I’m serious about her and not the dates. I’m serious about the future and not the past.

Thought 4: She is good at remembering the dates. So, she will remind me of the same if I forget.  I better focus on some ‘meaningful’ stuff.

Thought 5: Because the occasion is important, not the date or timing. Valentine is an occasion not because it is spent on Feb 14.

Thought 6: Life is one and there are so many important and money-oriented things to remember. Dates are just not that serious. In fact, they are costly.

Thought 7: She will be happy if I wish her. But forgetting her birthday doesn’t mean she will end up the relation here.  After all, she loves me more than the dates. Right?

Thought 8: Mine is a busy mind. I need rest. Remembering the office holiday is better than her birthday.

So, his forgetfulness steams from many things: Sometimes ‘he’ deliberately forgets to remember and sometimes he becomes so busy that remembering the dates becomes obviously less important in life. Work, money, pressure, responsibilities hover over his mind leaving the gorgeous dates in the graveyard. There must be many other fun thoughts other than those eight mentioned above. Even the one you have in mind right now. Cmon! Have your say.
