And Steve, being the manly man he is and refuses to ask for directions, gets horrible turned around and only thru shear luck lands in the right place at the end. He has a knack of making a right turn and landing in front of the building.Originally Posted by LDG
Really? I'd have thought the opposite was true! I always know which direction I'm going. Gary never has to ask for directions - because I get us there.
I would agree with that from personal experience.Originally Posted by ut0pia
Supposedly men use north, south, east and west to orient themselves and find places, while women remember landmarks better. I've found this to be true in many instances..
This is exactly how I am, whereas Cody insists that he can see a map in his head.Originally Posted by ut0pia

Yeah - Gary's dyslexic. Because we're almost always together, when giving directions, I don't say "left or right," I just tell him which lane to get in and point which direction to go.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
I am absolutely terrible with directions! I know when looking at a map what is N, S, E and W, but when it comes to equating that to real life, I haven't a clue.
We have a corner downtown that is pretty much due N and S. If I ever have to provide a direction, I have to imagine myself physically standing in front of one of the buildings in order to figure out the direction.
It doesn't help that I'm dyslexic and often get my left and right confused
I'm with you! I'm terrible at directions. If someone asks me I either look like a cheerleader or someone flagging in a plane. Every turn they have to take, I have to get my body straight to let them know if it is left or right.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
