I am good at remembering every friends birthday, but all my men friends forget, is there a gene involved which is responsible or is it deliberate.

I don't think so..Lol. I know a lot of guy friends (not significant others) who are great at remembering birthdays, mine in particular. So it's stereotyping to say that all men forget. It just seems like it happens a lot.

i won't agree on that because my guy friend never fails to greet me during my birthdays. Sometimes they were the one who greet me first compare to my girl friends. Instead, i am sometimes forget their birthdays....lol...sometimes my other are the one who will remind me on my friends birthday.

No friend its not like that, I had my birthday few days back but non of my female friends have wished me. what I mean is that frogeting birthdays is not related to the gene of menand not even deliberated but is some thing common for both genders.

I'm a male and I never forget birthdays. I might joke around about forgetting someone's birthday, but I really don't. My memory is pretty good.

I never forgot someones birthday, ask me any time of the year, when a person's birthday is, I will tell you. Ask me what day today is though... I always seem to not realize that it is today. It is not that I forget. But at the same time I know many girls that are this same way. So it is not a gene, I think it is due to the fact that we rely so much more on technology to do things for us, that we seem to glaze it over or something like that.

I think most men forget birthdays because there would be lots of things running in their mind. I think sometimes I too do forget birthdays of the people who are close to me. I think most times there would be work pressure or work tension or stress that would be running in my mind that would make me forget about my friend's birthdays.
