A study published in BMC Psychology late last year surveyed over 48,000 participants. They were asked nine questions about their memories, including whether they could recall what they were doing one year ago and whether they remembered details from conversations. For eight out of the nine questions, men expressed the most difficulty.
Both sexes struggled with the same subjects, particularly names and dates. It was also found that for both sexes, higher education correlates with better memory and that anxiety and depression lead to more forgetfulness. Another interesting find is that age isn’t nearly as big a player in forgetfulness as we tend to think. Women between 30 and 50 years experience the same level of forgetfulness.
“It was surprising to see that men forget more than women. This has not been documented before. It was also surprising to see that men are just as forgetful whether they are 30 or 60 years old. The results were unambiguous,†said Professor Jostein Holmen of Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), who worked on the study, in Science Daily.

...so #ladies take pity on your man.
It's not his fault that you have a better memory--it's science!
