Sterotypes of men

[Shimon]

Ok so me and my g/f are driving along for a sunday afternoon drive. We went to go out to dinner. She told me to make a left hand turn. I proceeded to do this. Not knowingly a hour later I would feel like im in the middle of the amazon jungle. We took all these different turns. Now as a sterotype men don't ask for directions. I now belive this is true, she told me numerous times to go ask for directions at a house. Why do that though when your in the mountains...those people are fucking insane. They would shoot my ass, and Rape my g/f. I didn't feel like going into chuck norris mode and roundhouse kicking sombody in the nose. I keep my cool composure and decided OH SHIT my cell phone has some sort of GPS on it....Hour and a half later. We were home safely...This was sotry time.

Do any of you guys ask for directions if lossed? Or is this sterotype true?

I don't, but I have a badass sense of direction, and it's made even better by the fact that my girlfriend doesn't. Last weekend, we were leaving a freind's house in the middle of the Suburbs, and I had the innate sense to go in a certain direction. My girlfriend kept saying "Turn left", and I'd go right, and vice versa.

I got us out of there.

It;s happened enough - my girlfriend saying go one way and me, ignoring her and doing the opposite, and then getting us somewhere, that it's an inside joke.

I have a navigation system, I don't need to ask anything.

But I usually do when I have too..

[PolluX]

always ask for direction if I get lost. Unless I know where I turned wrong, then I head back to that point.

Why in God's name (PAGING BLUEBLAZE. PAGING. BLUEBLAZE. BLUEBLAZE TO AISLE 2, PLEASE.) are you using that font?

[Zeebu]

he always uses that font. im sure it makes him feel unique.

a font more appealing to the eyes would be preferred, but i strongly doubt that he will change it.

when typing, do you chuckle to yourself and think "this is kind of difficult to read, hyuk hyuk"?

[PolluX]

what font is it?

Yeah I invested in one of those as well... they're not very good at navigating you through local roads where you know all the shortcuts. Plus it sometimes makes you take toll roads when you don't have to.

Yes, this is sterotyping.

Perhaps she actually knows where she's going and tells you the opposite direction, knowing that you won't listen to her. :fear:

My sense of direction comes from satellites.

Actually, Netherlands is a smaller country and mine knows all the roads and I can say if I want to take the faster, shortest route, I can avoid part of a route, etc. So I have none of those problems.

[Facetious]

I have a horrible sense of direction, but I wouldn't usually ask for directions unless I'm lost in a strange place. Asking for directions in my area is pointless, I find people that barely speak English (most people at gas stations) apparently never go anywhere or something. They can understand road names, and they can say "left" and "right" but for some reason their directions are always horribly wrong.

[Scurvy]

stereotype or no, its better to have a stubborn man behind the wheel than a woman. period.

I must be one of those rare few people in the world who not only carry a street directory in their car, but know how to read it.
