Once again, in the unspoken battle between the sexes, if we had to actually stop and read a map, or ask a total stranger for directions then we are admitting we are lost and/or wrong. An event that the female of the species will file away in her memory to raise in the future when losing an argument, or worse still, to blackmail us into an event such as a shopping expedition.
One reason we feel no compunction to ask directions can be related back to our male ancestors. For centuries men have set off into parts unknown and uncharted. Great explorers like Christopher Columbus, James Cook and Vasco de Gama had no need for maps or directions, (OK. There weren’t any available, but that is beside the point) and we males feel there is a genetic bond between the male of today and adventurers of times past.
