Why don't men ask for directions????

It's a pride thing. Plus I feel like most men have the *provider* complex - meaning that they feel like they need to provide for their women - their family such as them trying to fix everything on their own instead of hiring a professional to do it. Not all men, but I feel like a good portion of them. Personally, as a chick, I will ask for directions BUT if I have the time to try to figure things out on my own, I most definitely will. I like figuring out how to get from A to B on my own - it's like a learning experience.

What rot! I ask when I need directions but have a extremely good sense of direction that rarely steers me wrong all the best urban

I ask for directions on going somewhere only if there are no road signs and I got no idea at all towards where I have to go. If I need to assemble something I ALWAYS check directions and the manuals first. This is how a technician should always work and not act as if he knows everything.

I never ask either, I would rather look at a map and be confused but then map reading is one of my better points lol. I never really seem to get lost

I think the reason why men dont ask directions is probably men are really good at it already. Men are just good in finding directions while women aren't. I believe its because men are more logical then women that made them logically find their way.

Women do love asking about directions, I guess. Most of us wants to be sure of everything and would ask about anything...

I'm a man, and can only speak for myself in this respect. But I can be backward when it comes to asking for directions. Why? Well, in my case, I think it's that I don't like quitting my comfort zone to approach someone, I'm a bit shy when it comes to that. I prefer to keep to myself. However, if I'm really eager to get somewhere, I will unhesitatingly ask, and not just once, repeatedly, until I get where I need to be. And people are usually so helpful; it's not a painful process.

I believe that men don't like to ask for directions because that shows everyone that they don't know where to go. My late husband would drive in circles for hundreds of miles out of the way instead of simpling asking for dirctions.

I think it is engrained into the DNA of men to be have a 'take charge' mentality. That they could take care of women. I think that most specially if they have women in the car, they would definitely not ask for directions. I think that the GPS has helped preserve this characteristic for men! And like most men, the GPS get helpless too at the rare occasion that it gets lost.

I'm really fond of reading instructions whenever i receive something new except for cellphones. And about asking for directions, i seldom ask but i do when i get tired of going around. This reminded me of a friend who once went to a city in our country. Our language is totally different and yes he can speak the language there but he felt shy. So he chose to walk for 6 hours until he was able to reach his destination instead of asking for directions.

I don't know the reason but yes its really true that women asks directions very quickly than men. My father also doesn't ask for a direction very quickly unless wandering for long time. I can remember once my father and i wandered for about 2 to 3 hours to find his friends house but after so long time he called him to reach to house.(ynpatil). I am male but i don't like to wander for so long if there are so many peoples around us to take on our ways easily. But it's good thing because not always somebody's going to be around us to help. If we can figure it out on our own then its good thing.

That's is something that I always wanted to understand. My dad never ask for directions, he prefer to drive for hours than ask to someone if they know where the place is. Good that we have my mother, she always ask the direction to someone. I don't know if all the men are like that, but most of them are. The only guy that I know that ask for direction is my sister boyfriend.

Because the road was builded by men.
