why don't women understand cardinal directions?

Having a bunch of friends from work over for the first time tonight. Not one of the females understood which way west was one even said "girls don't know north south east west" Honest question...why?

Because they're fucking idiots

But if you said... "it's right next to the Ann Taylor Loft".. they'd be all over that shit.

I have had a few problems like this before with women, but once you help them associate north with mountains and such, they begin to understand so long as they are not completely overburden with stress, and panic. Men learn these things much easier, panic and lose their shit earlier in life because society forces us to adapt and utilize our own selves to solve a problem, we have to earn our keep especially in a low context culture. Women often get help or expect help even if they try to become independent slowing down or lagging their ability to learn skills in life. These are generalities i speak, so take what i say with a grain of salt lol.

I once dated a girl who thought north was "up". not on a map but in the sky

It isn't just women. I had the light switches in buildings labeled NE, NW, SE, SW. and many people who worked there for 5 years or more didn't know which one to turn on. Managers were the worst. They knew which direction the sunrise was but didn't know that was East.

i tell them West is going the away from the mountains in Alb.

As long as dem hoes know to go south when I'm pointing north. Nah mean?

 

[SFMMA]

I've had to explain the sun rising in the east and setting in the west multiple times to women. It's probably because their parents never taught them because a) their moms had no idea how; and b) their dads hoped they'd never have to get behind a steering wheel or think for themselves.

Bird brains

This is one stereotype I think there's probably something to.

Women I've dated ranged from very average to well up the 90-99th percentile range of intelligence.
Every one of them was terrible with directions.

 

[Harmonica]

You're probably just being surrounded with some pretty uneducated women.

What happens if they get on the other side of the mountains?

 

[hasar]

Once girl said south is direction that she sees currently. North is her back.

 

[Cheese]

What happens if they get on the other side of the mountains?

the mountains are right outside of ALB and if you driving towards them, you driving East and away West.

If they on the other side and trying to get to Alb. I tell to drive past the mountains. The mountains and they will hit Alb.

They also have lower developed spatial reasoning part of the brain. Why they say women are bad at estimating size of things, parking, building etc.

I made this thread many moons ago.

It's infuriating.

But now phones gps have made humans all equally dumb so I no longer hold the grudge.

As long as they make me sandwiches I don't care
