why are woman so retarded with directions?

[dolfe1]

Ok seriously, we have all heard the stereotype that woman suck at directions but shit it is just ridiculous at times. The other day this lady asks for directions in a city I am not familiar with, she was on 35th, I told her she need to go to 15th, she asks if she needs to head north or south, I say I don't know, south I think, just go to 15th, well she makes a big deal about going north or south, and me not being sure, so I say lady just drive down the street and if you see 36th turn around, if you see 34th you're headed in the right direction, fucking simple, she's says, I'll just use Mapquest, ha dumbass, why do I bother. Then a woman I work with who is new to the state needs directions, she is headed to a state that is south of the state we are in and wouldn't you know it she has to ask if she needs to head north or south on the highway, I had to explain it for a couple of minutes, this happened on four different occasions. lmao I could go on all day. Maybe being the hunter gathers us men have a more developed sense of direction.

I had this same conversation with my wife (pregnant) sat. night. We went to eat at resturant. there was a huge line so we decide to go somewhere else. We literally drive around the building to get to an exit and head back out on the road. We get back on the same road we pulled off of to head to another place to eat and she says, "I am so turned around, I have no idea where we are." I didn't know what to say. I was in shock. I have no explaination for you just wanted you to know that you are not the only one in this boat.

Women are retarded when it comes to driving or navigation. My favorite is driving down the highway and all of a sudden she says "Thats the exit we want!" HELLO!! Im fucking 3 lanes over doing 85 and you point out an exit that was 100 feet ahead!?

Jewel did a similar thing with me about a block from her former apartment in Nashville. I stopped the car and told her that if she is going to give directions, I want to know everything AT LEAST 2 steps ahead. I dont want "turn left here.....ok, now turn right." No, I want, "first youre gonna turn left onto Main St, then go about 5 blocks and make a right onto Broadway." Since then, we havent had any problems.

Dont even get me started on why I wont let Jewel drive when Im in the car!

Men are much better at spatial awareness women are much better linguists, some are even cunning linguists, and are also much better multi taskers. It's just a skill that men are better at in general

 

[sweettart29]

Okay.....I have been pretty good lately, I have to say this takes the cake. Not all women r retarded when it comes to directions! I can look at a map and find my way from point A to point B and not have to stop and ask if I am going the right way or even get lost. Granted I don't go many places seeing as kids in a car on a long drive is not a good thing...But when I get in the car and go somewhere I haven't been before I can get there. I have driven all over new england in the last four years and I have NEVER had to ask anyone for directions...And when I used to go places with the kids dad OMG he was the one getting lost and that is why I used to drive and he would ride. So before u go saying that ALL WOMEN R RETARDED WITH DIRECTIONS plz take into consideration that some of us can find our way around we r pretty good at it.

LMAO!! I confiscated my woman's keys to HER car. I just drive all the time and I don't think I will ever let her drive again. Yeah, she's that bad.

I've been with my gf for a little over a year, she's been in one accident, so far I have saved her from three, I don't know how she managed before she met me.

OK a little off subject, but they can't fucking drive either. My GF bought a new car 2 weeks ago and crashed the fucking thing within 6 hours of accepting delivery. It gets worse. There were 2 cars in a parking lot, her car and 1 other. Not only did she hit the other car driving backwards, but she SOMEHOW managed to inflict over $4K of damage on her own car. WHO DOES $4k OF DAMAGE IN A PARKING LOT GOING BACKWARDS????? I asked her what could've happened and she said "I was excited. It was friday and I just got my new car, I had my cell phone in my right hand and I was counting the money I just withdrew in my left hand. I didn't see the other car!!" I rested my case right there. No one was hurt, but her story is typical.

 

[Hiram]

Woah...what a f*ckin' coincidence I see this thread.

About an hour ago my girlfriend had to pull up Mapquest to pick up her friend that lives less than a mile from her!

It blew my mind. LMAO!!!

Thats because women think with their pussies...

Freaking classic!!!

And back to your question Dolfe. The reason why women are so retarded with directions is as follows:

ALL women fall into 1 of 3 categories:

1.) Goof Troop: ALL women are at LEAST in the Goof Troop. This is what makes a woman a woman and is the reason why women are so retarded with directions

2.) Wack Pack: A woman who falls into this category is semi-psychotic. If you need to take your woman's car keys from her, she definitely falls into this group. They can sometimes cause harm to themselves, but rarely do they harm you.

3.) Mad Hatters: If your girl falls into this category, you're in trouble. This is the classic "stalker" chick. Leaving 10 messages within the span of an hour is one example. "Conveniently" showing up at the same bar/club as you and your friends over and over is another. This is a chick who would have no problem with throwing a brick through your car windshield just because you forgot to call her back. I think you guys get the point.

Also, Wack Pack chicks can have Mad Hatter tendencies without being a full-blown Mad Hatter.

This of course is just a theory and not a rule as some women may not fall into any of these categories, but may create their own.

Hmmm, those thoeries must explain more than just poor navigational skills.
