A neat trick by the potential husbands to pick a date they are unlikely to forget in future...

Why men can't remember important dates such as that?

It must be a genetic thing that men have more problems with this than women, I can't explain it. But it seems to be true, except in my own case of course, I remember my own wedding date well (and fondly, just in case somebody out there thinks I'm sarcastic...).

Eh, men, I guess I'll never fully understand them.

My brother, Don, was married on 9-9-99.

His wife's birthday is 6-6-66
His daughter's birthday is 5-5-05
His other daughter's birthday is 4-4-01

Wow! How uncanny!

lol

The reson us men folk cant rember important dates is because the football matches and grand prix racing dates are nearly more important and with there being mor races and fixtures they out balance that one date.......all though i forgot my GFs birthday last year and i dont think ill be forgettin this year *bad painful memorys*

My boyfriend is the one who remembers all the dates in our relationship, He reminded me of our first anniversary

Personally I don't consider them important. You can celebrate a relationship anytime, anniversaries are irrelevant.

Birthdays, anniversaries, whatever. A few days late hurts no one. On an F1 Grand Prix weekend though, they won't re-drive the GP just because you forgot to watch. So it's obvious which is more important.
