Why do guys never ask for directions?

They think they know everything. And when they don’t, they don’t want anyone to know they don’t know how to get somewhere.

It’s a macho hangup that most men have. i am the first to admit this. i was so sure of my directions one night, that instead of going to Kentucky, we found ourselves in Illinois. that was a night that my wife will never let me forget.

I really don’t know where people get this. Dudes in cars have stopped to ask me directions so many times.

What’s the point? We know where we’re going. We can’t help it if you women are geographically challenged!

This is a stereotype. I cannot tell you why some guys do not stop to ask for directions because the reason differs on an individual basis.

We own GPS devices.

It’s not true. I used to stop and ask directions frequently. However, I wouldn’t always just stop the first warm body I saw, but I’d look for someone who might know. So I’d stop at gas stations with tow trucks, for example, because their drivers might know a lot of streets that a clerk at the local 7–11 would not.

thanx

Asking for directions is embarrassing and frustrating, but sometimes the only logical choice. Too bad most people don’t really do the logic thing. I asked a similar question not too long ago:

Do men really hate to ask for directions any more than women do?

I don’t ask for directions often because I am very good at reading maps. If I don’t have a map, I’ll ask.

Christopher Columbus didn’t need directions and neither do we. lol

@Winters Lmao awesome. Neither did the Vikings!

And they’re a whole lotta man. :D

This is one of those cliched urban myths. As with all of those it’s utterly baseless & quite inaccurate.

my wife calls me the human GPS. I never stop because usually find my way. and if I ever get “lost” I just retrace my route to get back to a point I know and start from there.
