I hope this leads to new medicines for memory control. I'd sure like to be able to take a pill and forget all about my first wife....

Lift weights. Do NOT get HRT. If you can remember what weight,reps and sets you lifted a few days before...that's all the memory you need to progress. signed, your FReepersonaltrainer.

"Older men with relatively high levels of testosterone in their blood tend to outperform others in tests of memory"

Because it is so embarrassing to have a chick walk up to you and say "Remember meeeeee?"

I heard that testosterone made men less happy. This helps explain why. A better memory....

What they neglect to mention is that, while testosterone leads to better memory, it also leads to very selective memory. A typical memory log for an average male reveals this limitation...

I know that one reason my friends take estrogen after menopause is to improve memory. Maybe part of senility and dementia is just drop in hormone levels as we age. I have already warned my "adult" kids that they will be taking care of me when I get old. That is how I dealt with them when they were little. I knew they thought I always told them what to do, etc. I told them, "This is all just temporary, when you are adults and I am elderly, roles reverse, and YOU will be taking care of ME!" That always made them smile.
