A new survey on men’s memory found that guys can’t remember important dates like birthdays and anniversaries for s**t. A whopping 41 percent of the more than 1,000 men surveyed admitted to forgetting their anniversaries. A significant number also confessed to not remembering their partners’, their mothers’, or even their own birthdays. Really? That is […]

Congrats, you two!) Can you believe I’ve been writing about this s**t for a year? Even though it feels like it went by in […]
Men! There are plenty of things about women that they don’t understand, but they really, really don’t understand what goes into our appearances.
