Maybe they do. But why is it when they drive and they get lost, they refuse to stop for directions? A woman drags out the map.
I have met few women who could put that map to any use. In fairness, I have met many men who also could not put that map to any use.
I totally believe this. Women (including me) drive by way of monuments. ie. go 2 miles and turn at the Baptist church then left at the Kroger.
Men are directional ie go SW on Harbinger Street for 2 miles and then turn north on Hiccup Rd. etc.
I can find my way anywhere if you just tell me how to get there but reading a map no way. :-)
We’re really never lost. We know that we are bounded by interstates to our east, west north and south. And usually we are bounded in a much smaller area.
We’re somewhere inside those boundaries, and we have a general idea of what direction we are going.
But a good woman that doesn’t nag and can read a map, is nice to have. A GPS also works pretty well but it does nag a little.
“But why is it when they drive and they get lost, they refuse to stop for directions?”
Because we know we have these genetically superior pathfinding skills to fall back on!
Now mel, you know that men do not “get lost.”
We explore alternate routes.

Reminds me of an old joke: Why does it take 10 million sperm to fertilize one egg? Because none of them will stop to ask for directions.
Cuz, if'n we wuz really lost, pullin' out that map won't tell us where we are... ;^p
Which reminds me of the old joke:
Q. Why does human conception need only one egg, but thousands of sperm?
A. Because the sperm won't ask for directions.
Hah. I can almost always point out N/S whereas my husband sometimes struggles. OTOH, I’m kinda bossy . . . maybe I already have that “extra” testosterone. ;)

I’ve only seen that in movies and on TV. I hate being lost, and take whatever measures are required to orient myself.
