I think it's up to the ladies to tell us what they expect their men to do when something like this happens.

no we ain't suppose to tell you guy's. use your sense and do what comes to your mind

Will never happen.
If I were a woman, I'd drop him on the spot

All my "girlfriends" forgot my birthday [Oct 22.]...

Does that mean I should drop all of them on the spot...

In life, such things happen.. they should move on.. and look for another opportunity to celebrate.. Nothing positive is gained out of anger..

@CimonJorr
That's your choice. I am just expressing what I would do if I were a woman.
And it's not coming out of anger, a man who forgets his girlfriend's birthday, especially when they're still dating, doesn't have his priorities straight. He would need to have a very good excuse

Hell can be likened to a woman's wrath. If she is upset with you especially about something as important as her as her birthday then you are in serious yawa.. U should go down on your knees and beg 4 forgiveness den dash like a mad man to your bank and withdraw like half your savings and move with the speed of lighting to the nearest jewel shop and spend spend spend... U know how it s with woman and jewerries... that will ease her from 100% anger to like 28% then at night, u can finish the rest...

You're ready to go through all this trouble for a girl you'll probably break up with next month?

If the gender was reversed, would your sentiments remain the same?? ...

That's actually a good observation. I haven't gone through this yet, but I would be very upset, but probably not as much as if I were a woman.
See, I still have to fight my own gender bias

i like this

@whiteshark, nice answer.
@seun how do you know you are probably going to break up with her next month

How can i remember your birthday when you never look any older? - a diplomatic husband responded to his wife when he forgot her birthday.

that is so cute, but I wouldn't fall for that line

Well just explain to her why u 4got and even missed
her birthday party and MEN if u dont have a gud excuse
IM SORRY

@ icingbaby - thats a good one. It would never to me but just in case..........I would take her to a nice restaurant for dinner.......later on we would go on a nice romantic harbor cruise in the boat I chartered.....

nice answer Trooper

@ icingbaby - Thank you !

...and one more thing......the birthdays of my ex's are coming up........11/4, 11/8, 11/9..........but no dinner here...

you welcome get them some thing shining

yes I'm serious, if they were nice girlfriends to you, you should get them somethnig shining.

Seun do u get into a relationship with the intenstion of breakin up?? I love my girl and If I 4get her birthday, I know she's gonna skin me and I would do anytin not to incure the anger so..... I'll go break a bank to get her wat she wants if thats wat it would take 4 her to chill out on me cos she is ten times worth more then Fort knox to me....

For me the fact of the matter is there are a lot of ways to set reminders for birthdays these days so although you could argue that there is no reason to forget by the same token I would also argue that "remembering" a birthday is no big deal particularly if it's done with a modern day electronic aid.

Personally, I'm more touched when my girlfriend completely unexpectedly does something special for me (i.e. not necessarily on my birthday).

hey guys. wats up. i dont see any reason why a guy should forget his girlfriend's birthday if she really loves her and she should try to always remind him when the date is drawing near.
If he forgets, he should try and apologise and make sure he makes it up to her in anyway she want.

, why would you forget your girlfriend's birthday in the first place? She's meant to be special; you don't forget her b'day man! And if you do, and she get's angry, well then too bad, your fault! Hehe.

It's not hard at all. I'm going to do as if it's no big deal but when his own birthday comes, I'll also pretend to have forgotten.

That's a god way to retaliate but not a good way to have a happy relationship. if you want to be hapy with someone, large doses of understanding and forgiveness are required.

How can I understand that he forgot my birthday?? Has he got memory troubles? Maybe I'll have to write it on his forehead incase of next time.

Well my boyfriend is away studying and has just forgotten my birthday earlier this month. What do u think i should do? Imagine my birthday was on the 3rd and today is the 10th of the month and not a word!! I am waiting for the whole month of November to be over to deal with him

teach him a little lesson LMAO, maybe hit the book that his been studying on his head, than he will remember

should ma boyfriend eva 4get ma birthday,i'll have 2 break up wit him 4 about a month n 4get he even exist just 2 let him know what it feels like 2 be forgotten n more esp on such an important occasion as ma birthday.i'll probably throw a tantrum
