Why Men Never Ask For Direction by OPIAjesus: 11:04am On Feb 10, 2015
On more than a few occasions I have walked
around my city lost and getting even more lost by the minute and recently did it again. I know I am not alone as a male who is hesitant to ask for directions and have tried to figure out Reasons why I don’t.
1. To ask for directions is to admit I am lost. To admit I am lost is to feel both
anxious and incompetent.
2. and feeling anxious is about wondering if not knowing about this is dangerously
close to fears of doubts about many things.
3. To feel anxious and incompetent is to feel less than and not worthwhile especially when I compare myself to other competent men. To ask other men who I project might be feeling as judgmental towards me as I feel towards myself is to invite ridicule and humiliation.

Then Pride also places a major role
“Pride, of course! Men never get lost: they just
take a different route,” says Roosevelt
“To be honest, asking for directions makes me feel a bit stupid,” admits Tom.
“We’re not going to ask for help from someone who clearly knows more than we do! It’s all about protecting the ego,” Adam.
Men want to be strong.
Men don’t want to be told what to do. Nah, it will just make him feel vulnerable. It will tell him what he’s doing wrong http://ingeniouselite.blog.com/2015/02/09/why-men-never-ask-for-directions/
