As if this is news.

What bunk! I can read maps. I can read nautical charts. I'm the navigator.
And we don't get lost.

Yeah, well, this still doesn't get most men off the hook for refusing to ask for directions. ;)

True. I can get so lost reading maps, but give me landmarks, and I am there...

Tell me about it.
This evening I actually witnessed a woman customer asking a woman cashier directions. I listened too.
The poor customer woman is probably still driving around in circles.

Women can't read maps - and real men don't need maps.

What bunk! I can read maps. I can read nautical charts. I'm the navigator. OK, for the next study we show that women can't differentiate between an article about general trends in groups of people, and a statement about them personally.
To: Rodney King; BRL
But the assertion that women are incapable of reading a map correctly has, unfortunately for the female sex, been backed up by several studies on spatial abilitymy wife pick pocketed my loaded concealed weapon and is making me type this. "women may not be able to read maps, but men are incapable of asking for directions."
there, she's gone. hell, we'd ask for directions if the answer came in the form of a map!

Women should just let a guy drive to their destination and stop arguing when they're together in the car.
To: Rodney King
Hahaha! We've got all you fellas fooled. Females can most definitely read maps and navigate...it's just we are so used to telling you males that 3" is actually more like 8 or 9". ;-)

I swear I'm right about everything else but directions.
To: Rodney King
Theory confirmed.

This is why I ordered the navigation system on my new car :)

Tell her to read, "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus". It will explain everything.
And yes, before I read it, I thought it was a load. But the author is very, very good at explaining his views.

The poor customer woman is probably still driving around in circles.i doubt it. i suspect that the customer got to exactly where she needed to be and even though to you the directions seemed inane, to another women the directions were perfect. instead of sorting through psycho-babble and trying to play guessing games, we men find it much easier and precise to read a map and NOT get a dose of hormones.

Women can't read maps, but they ask for directions. Men just get lost

Oh, so it's "general trends," huh? This is the title: "Women On Road To Nowhere (Study Finds Women Can't Read Maps)"
It doesn't say "some women." It says "women can't read maps." I'd say it's more like "sweeping generalizations."
BTW, there are few landmarks when one is out at sea. Does the person who did the study suggest I count waves to get us back to port, say, "look for a wave that has a big pointy thing at the top & follow that one?"

No, dude, the cashier woman said go North on Highway 60. Highway 60 goes East and West.
To: mlocher
Actually, in his book the author tells a tale of lonely, disheartened Martian males looking for purpose and meaning in life - which they found after viewing the beautiful female Venusians through their telescopes. The Martians quickly built space ships to carry them to Venus, and the rest is herstory! LOL
