Voluntary Amnesia

It has come to my attention that these days people seem to be suffering from amnesia of the voluntary kind; this involves deciding to block out the wrongs committed and carrying on with life as if nothing ever happened. It also covers running away from certain issues that need to be addressed instead of facing them head on.

I'm finding it quite sickening that certain guys willingly choose to fuck up, bask in the glory at the time then the next day when they've sobered/woken up convince themselves (with the help of their like minded friends) that the previous nights events didn't occur and everything ran smoothly.

Unfortunately life does not mirror the Men In Black movie, humans are not provided with a memory erasing device at birth, as adults who are responsible for our own actions we should really be trying to limit the amount of reckless mistakes we make instead of acting willy nilly. I've got an idea how about we act our age and not our shoe size? Yes I am using an ancient analogy but it is true.

Furthermore quick question why is it that guys have voluntary amnesia when a planned date arises. You waste your time and energy arranging and agreeing to a date only for the date to come and pass without any contact from the other party. Then you receive a text or phone call which leads into the topic of the supposed date

"oh yeah what happened last week? How come we didn't meet up again?"

"hello stranger, where have you been hiding?"

"weren't we supposed to link up two weeks ago?"

Do women have better memories or do men simply just remember what they want to remember and deliberately forget the rest?
