Go ahead, show your wives a picture of the state you live in with no location names and ask her to point to where y'all live.

I bet she can't. They're just not wired to care about that sort of stuff so they never bother to give a shit.

I don’t know a single Michigan native that can’t point to where they’re from on their hand.

Op, that is a great fucking question.  My GF gets lost like no tomorrow.  I always tell her the Fucking mountains are always
to the west.  If you are looking at the mountains Right is North and Left is south.  How fucking hard is that to comprehend.
That is all.

Edit: She is never on the west side of the mountains.

I find a lot of people can't read a map worth a damn anymore. GPS has made people lazy with that. Without a little voice giving them step by step instructions on how to get somewhere, a lot of people are just dead in the water. They can't just look at a map and figure it out.

Men have more iron in their blood than women do, iron works as a compass, thus men are better at navigating than women, a scientific theory I read about recently.

It’s not all of them.  My daughter casually memorized all the roads before she could drive, and seems to have onboard GPS.   She also effortlessly navigated the London underground and throughout England, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.  

But for the most part, you’re right OP. Women don’t think visually.    

Do you know about the “Draw a Bicycle” Challenge?

My wife is the exception.  She absolutely loves maps and she almost always knows the directions.  Every once in in awhile she'll be wrong, but not often.

Because, in the old days, they were led from cave to cave, where they manned the FOBs and cooked, tanned hides, and reared children, while the men were out doing land navs and running ambushes on Woolly Mammoths.  It's in the genes.

That is literally the attitude of many women. I work with one that has basically admitted as much. A good man is supposed to fall into her lap without any effort expended on her part. I probably don't need to tell you that has yet to happen and likely never will. She thinks the fact that she is relatively attractive and has big breasts entitles her. Getting her to understand that limiting her dating pool to guys that see her big tits and ask for her digits is monumentally stupid.  

She doesn't even look before changing lanes because she doesn't feel she needs to with her collision avoidance sensors on her vehicle. That's one of the primary reasons she got it: so she could be a less responsible driver and let the car make up for it.

A lot of folks are so reliant on GPS, they can't retrace a route they've driven multiple times if they don't have the GPS giving them directions.

Mapreading in general, simply isn't a skill that's learned, or practiced anymore. Gen X'ers might be the last ones to remember screwing with a big ass map, navigating for dad (or mom).

I cannot speak to all women, but my wife cannot build a picture in her head.  She is therefore hopeless in the realm of navigation because she can’t visualize where anything is in relation to anything else.

My mother is like women the OP mentioned - has gotten lost 10 miles from home constantly during her life.  Part of the problem is that she is always talking incessantly and I think that distracts her from paying attention to where she is going.

But I drove cross country and back 10 years ago all alone with nothing but a paper atlas.  I only got turned around once, in Minneapolis.
I refuse to use a GPS as I think you lose navigational skills if you do,  plus I hate anyone talking to me in the car.  I'm a spatial thinker like my dad was.

My husband can easily find his way in the woods, but thats where I get lost without a compass. He's terrible on roads though.
He was raised in the country, I was raised near a large city. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

We were playing a trivia game once. It was one of those “guess the country” questions. The first clue was “this is an Asian country”

The answer ended up being South Korea. My Wife was upset because she felt the clues were misleading. I asked her why she thought that. She replied “because it said the country was in Asia. South Korea is in Korea.”

Had a good laugh at that. And again the next day, then the next day . Didn’t get laid for a while

Sooo... folks oustide of MI are sufficiently ignorant of geography, that they have no idea Michigan's lower peninsula is shaped like a mitten?

I would've thought that was one of the most memorable shapes (along with Italy looking like a high heeled boot, and Florida looking like a limp...)

This is the root of the problem.  Very generally, men excel at spatial relationships and women excel at personal relationships
