Q: Why don't men ask for directions?
A: The male trait of never asking for directions is a natural consequence of hunting. Revealing one's position by shouting "Excuse me, I seem to be lost" would ensure that the hunter was the next victim of the hunting party, as he would have scared away the game. It can therefore be assumed that modern-day men are the survivors of those hunters who never asked for directions.
