I think you hit the nail on the head...
With people who I thought were remarkable in some way, I can remember them better than others.
People with distinct features that stood out *to me*, I can remember them.
I put emphasis on that because there a lot of people I've met who OTHER people would say were distinct or remarkable somehow, but I just don't remember them that well.
So, beautiful people or people with exotic features, I'm just not guaranteed to remember them even if I'd agree they were great looking or something.
What really gets me is not being able to remember the faces of people I've known all my life, or people I was romantically interested in.
You'd think those people would be emblazoned into your brain but... it's vague.
I remember people's essence and the way they made me feel or what I sensed about them far more than I remember their physical details.
