Men are notorious for forgetting anniversaries like wedding anniversary and birthdays. Now there is some research to show that men forget because they are men. But with guaranteed approval cash advance and smart apps, you now have no excuses to forget or spare cash on important dates that matter to your family.
Anniversaries are sacred to women; they set great value in remembering birthdays and wedding anniversaries of their parents, husband, children and friends. So naturally they are upset when their husband or boyfriend forgets their birthday or wedding anniversary. Even if everyone else in their universe calls or wishes them, woe betide the husband or boyfriend who forgets the all-important date! Then no matter how much he may profess his love, he is banished to the penitentiary.
There is even some indirect evidence to support men and excuse them for forgetting. Research by the University of London’s Institute of Education has shown that middle-aged men’s verbal memory lags behind women by a humbling 5% to 8%. The research in 2010 involved more than 9,600 men and women, in England, Scotland and Wales, who were asked to perform listening and recollection tests. Although it did not actually involve remembering significant dates such as birthdays, it does provide insight into our powers of recall, and how they vary by gender and by other factors such as smoking and exercise.
Participants in the first test listened to 10 common words and then recalled as many as possible in two minutes. The second test involved listing the same words five minutes later. Men scored almost five per cent less than women within two minutes, then nearly eight per cent worse in the five minute test.
There is help at hand to help men remember and schedule events. Use Google Calendar or iPhone Calendar to schedule event like your wedding anniversary to recur annually with multiple popup reminders set for couple of days before and for that day. Google Calender is free and is power packed. You can set any number of reminders to be sent days, hours or minutes before the event.
