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’m an excellent map reader. That does not translate into being good at “sensing” direction. If I know where I am, have a map, I can go anywhere. But why bother? I have a GPS that tells me step by step what to do.
My husband loved maps but was only so so at directions. They problem with men is that they are unwilling to ask because they are unwilling to admit they don’t know.
Maps drive this girl crazy. They are just too, too busy. Cannot read one. Auto GPS was an answer to my prayers, as I used to get lost a lot.
My wife drags out the map and hands it to me.
