I also have the opinion that men don't remember details about peoples' appearance as readily as women do. I'm 99% sure my wife has green eyes, but that number was more like 60% for the first 5 years I knew her.

When I describe men, I tend to say they have blonde-ish hair, particularly if it's short, even if it's brown -- I guess because I'm seeing skin in there that gives me the impression that their head is a lighter color?

I'll notice immediately if someone gets a haircut, but I can't tell you what it looked like before.
