Why don’t guys ask for directions?

May 28, 2006

Very old question but some incidents over the weekend makes me write this post.

“Why don’t you ask for the directions?” – is the question most guys get asked and I am nobody special there. My answer is mostly “Hmm..”.

I had another such discussion this weekend and all I have to say now (not then): Pretty girl – the guys do ask for directions but only when they are horribly lost or are with their other guy friends. And we don’t ask because, yes, it makes us feel that we are not in control. And at the same time we do want to make sure that we know the directions the next time – so we like to explore the area a bit.

Another way to look at the same is – we are liking your company and don’t mind spending some extra time alone with you in the car, with music playing – so take it as a compliment. And don’t ask this question again :-)

    Sooooooo true.. why don’t guys asked for directions ????? At times it can become so infuriating to see that the guys keep driving on without asking for directions even though they might not have a clue of that area !! How does asking for directions from a stranger or an unknown person matter anyways ?

    Yeah Seema – this is one of those things that the guys and gals have to just agree to disagree upon :-)

    Dude Jatin – GPS is good in the US – and you know that the excitement of ‘actually being lost’ with a pretty girl can be deadly, at times :-)

    Nazim – it’s always good to know that there is yet another person who agrees on this.
