Women forgive, not forget; men forget, not forgive. "We have two words for you: Lorena Bobbit," says Tango's Hanel. "Make no mistake: women neither forgive nor forget. Men, on the other hand, will often let bygones be bygones -- especially if they’re offered payback of the intimate variety."
Burchette of Maxim.com says, "Men's inability to remember birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or grudges has yet to be scientifically proven, but trust us, it's a very real and scary disease. That said we are prone to still being angry five months later, though we have no recollection of why we’re so mad in the first place."

2. Dieting usually fails in the long run, study finds - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18260925/

Those dieting efforts worked for a while, but the weight inevitably crept back up.

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, examining 31 weight-loss studies found long-term dieting doesn’t keep the pounds off. While people can lose weight initially, many relapse and regain the weight they shed.
The findings confirm what many scientists have been saying all along: Losing weight is easy. Keeping it off is another story.
“If dieting worked, there would be a bunch of skinny people walking around,” said obesity researcher Dr. David Katz, head of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center, who did not participate in the latest study.

If diets fail, what works?
People who have been able to keep their weight off share common traits, according to the National Weight Control Registry, which tracks over 5,000 people who shed significant pounds and kept it off.

Here are some of their strategies:

— Eat breakfast daily.

— Eat a moderately low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.

— Keep track of progress through weigh-ins, food diaries.

— Get LOTS of exercise — 60 to 90 minutes daily.
