A study showed that women can easily remember faces particularly female faces. This finding can be due to evolutionary effects rooted in female to female competition, explained by David C. Geary, a psychologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Women tend to certainly fight hardly over the best guys, especially this time around that women are double in numbers than men, and for the fact that some men dated not only in one woman but many. Most typical women fight over guys with good genes and resources to invest in kids.

The memory skills developed by women is due to the necessities to remember personal experience as it is very important for monitoring and maneuvering relationship, which also used to disrupt the social and romantic ties of other women who are considered stiff contenders.

Previous studies have shown that women also have a superior memory for verbal information, which they may use to dissect a person’s underlying motives or intentions—a skill that, according to Geary, “seems to elude many men.”
