Why is it that Men do not ask for directions? We tend to rather go around in circles than actually stop and ask someone how to get where we have to go. Also looking at a map is also out of the question?
Is it male pride? Or is it Male stubbornness? What is it? Or is it when we get directions we have no idea what they mean?

It's a primeaval trait. We were meant to lead the family and show utter confidence and self reliance.
Forget artificial insemination -now that we have sat-nav the male of the species really is at risk of being eliminated.
I never ask for directions/read a map either - I always say "we'll keep going till we are sure we are lost" and well, you can never be sure you are lost if you don't have a map. It makes for good adventures.
Does this mean I should have some gender reorientation surgery?
I don't know why most women ask for directions though because they don't follow them - I give directions sometimes and then watch the woman trog off left instead of right or whatever.
EK- the male of the species was always at risk of eliminating himself. Just by us being so dumb aad pig headed.
RB-it is the Yang to the Ying. We always have been opposite to one another. Same way I never look at directions when putting things together esp. from IKEA. I figure the more bits left over the more bits can go into my odd bit box that I never use.
bum its seven thirty am and OT is blogging... since i arrived he went out partying and left me all alone, now he's blogging away... this is the only means I have of contact... boo hoo hooo... he he he he he
my husband never asked for directions anywhere we were...but he was always able to find his way and has an ability to be anywhere and know how to get where he needs to go...i on the other hand get lost going out of the town i live...i don't know why...i just don't know where i am...thank god for gps...i do remember one time in kentucky where we were lost, he pulled over to let me drive...i got behind the wheel and he said "well where the hell are we"...
Daisy- He must be one of the lucky ones to be able to know exactly where he is. sadly I am the opposite. I could get lost at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately for Mrs Tarf and the Mermaid.
I seem to always manage to find my way home., often wonder why the locks were changed though.
It's usually me that has to ask directions as DT is usually fiddling around with the SatNav. Mind you it is usually very reliable unless, one dares to ignore the 'nice lady's instructions and then, all hell lets loose.
On one of our little sojourns we drove through the same village 3 times from 3 different directions.
This was soon rectified when I dashed into the village post office to redeem the matter.
"Straight ahead" said the lady behind the counter, as instructed, in the first place, by the 'nice lady' on the SatNav.
Ignore her at your own peril, I informed DT! As in all women, you know we're always right, er...except when wrong !
Hey Merms...
Don't be lonely come over to Trubes site and enlighten us with your eloquence and wit!
Disgraceful behaviour of OT leaving you 'Home Alone'.
Hope you're enjoying your visit though!
I have no problem with asking directions , I figure its better than going round and round in circles and looking an even bigger twat than normal. Sat Nav is a marvellous invention , but I have to say I dont get lost very often
Trubes-women are always right, even if they are wrong on the very rare occasion( i had to say that or mrs OT will get me).
Beast- it is fun going around in circles, least you know where you have been several times.
I think Kev is right. I can't read maps and when I get lost I ring up Elby and get cross when he can't tell me where to go...after all he is a Man with multimap in front of him. However, his attempts to help me may be impeded somewhat by my inability to give him the name/number of the road I am on. "There's a big roundabout!" I shout at him....
Lilith- We have a dear friend who went on a road trip with us and was the map reader. Well she didn't know a river from a road. But we had a great time getting lost found some really neat things.
E-G-O!
Nuff said!
Sabrina-You must be getting on the mend, glad to see you are feeling better.
