What To Do About WOMEN AND A SENSE OF DIRECTION
By: Terry Barga | 30. Jan 2009
Ladies, us men love you, everything about you. Your hourglass figure, your fruity smelling hair, your high heels, your knack for back rubs, your small hands, your brown eyes, your hairless backs, but when you can’t point north with a seconds notice it’s a buzz kill.
I mean beauty can only take you so far, but direction can take you anywhere. It makes the difference between a keeper and I am gonna throw this one back… er, or something like that.
I know you think you are smarter than most of us men, but I beg to differ, just because we can’t remember your birthday doesn’t mean we will die when we are lost in the wilderness. I mean if a dude and a chick were lost in the woods chances are the dude that can’t remember his moms middle name will get you home just fine because he knows the important stuff like… how to LIVE.
In case you are wondering, there are many ways to tell which way is north, and no ladies, it’s not the way you are facing.
First, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so unless you are lost in the north pole or the sun won’t be rising for a while, then you can place a stick in the ground and mark the top of the shadow then wait for 30 minutes then there you go. You can now see east and west, so north should not be a problem.
Second, if it is night, you have the north star. It’s the really bright one, but it’s not the brightest, I believe this title belongs to the Sirius. The north star is directly above the north pole and is at the top of the little dipper.
Now all of your problems are solved, you can go out tonight with confidence. With this knowledge you can pick up any dude, he will appreciate that you know your directions and care more about living than American Idol or Twilight. Put this to the test, learn your directions, then learn the names of the top five quarterbacks of all time followed by the top 3 fastest cars ever made and you too will be married in a matter of months.
Your welcome!
[...] had a funny blog today on WhatToDoAbout.com. It’s about women and direction and it’s even more funny to me cause I have been around [...]
“direction can take you anywhere”
-haha… so true, so ture
thank goodness i've got Garmin.
I know my sense of direction, boyz! Also, did you know that even numbered interstates always run east and west and odd numbered ones run north and south!
Of course we knew that, we were born with this knowledge. I just can't tell what time I was born or where for that matter.
Are you serious? Men and directions?! I haven't met one that wasn't scared to get a tick on him in the woods. Guys this days – atleast the ones I have run across. They don't like to get dirty. I'm a country girl and I grew up playing in the woods. And I know how to get everywhere while my Dad and my guys friends spend most of their time getting lost and being too prideful to ask for directions… A girl may not be able to point North, South, West, or East.. but we would be smart enough to bring a compass and our cell phone incase our moron boyfriend couldn't find a way out.. He can point North all he wants but he is guessing!! lol…
Oh, thats right Men are so good with directions…I recall of a man who led his people through a 40 year journey around in circles to find the promise land…….. Moses…. I'm not positive but a woman probably discovered that it was only a 4 hour drive. : )
well.. someone sure sounds bitter
Actually it was about an eleven days journey (walking). God led the people through the wilderness by Moses' lead, the forty years was punishment.
I wasn't referring to walking – I was referring to driving………. I was trying to be funny.. Gosh – I guess it snot okay for a woman to attempt humor in here… You call me bitter and now you totally missed the joke…..
R u serious? You think my comment sounds bitter? I was jokingly stating it. Hence why I ended it in an LOL…….. It's very true based on my experience though – the men I've ran across in my life have no idea about direction and none like to get dirty… I grew up on a 40 acre farm where 30 of it was all wooded….. Most guys that I have met can't even change oil in a vehicle anymore….. Much less point to their way North….. Sorry I took time to share….
Don't be sorry! You are right there are a lot of pansies out there but let me assure you that we here at whattodoabout.com are always dirty! (in more ways than one) And we know which way is north without a compass, we are a dying breed hence the article. Come fellahs! Cowboy up, don't cowboy down! The ladies are depending on you!
I am laughing…..I get it! You should write an article what to do about what to do about what to do about not taking a joke.
I would read it.
I was kidding
Oh I got it and I didn't find it funny. Although I found your first comment funny and the “bitter” comment was a joke… which obviously you didn't find funny. So the funnyness of each of our funny's is in question… that's funny.
I was totally kidding
I'm not sure what was more interesting, the article or the comments
hahahaha
Although the article was not fun at all, we do have sence of directions, sure I once read a map upside down and went the opposite direction, but it doesn't mean anything!
he he… now I'm laughing…. I am not sure if I understood the last sentence or not……… For the record – I'm a very devout Christian and I love the Lord and meant no disrespect to Moses…….
Word – ( I never say this but I think this would be an appropriate time to attempt to be ghetto, lol)
Woo Hoo! Sattle Up. I've never actually ever said that……That felt good!lol …… Women need more real men who can get greese on their hands, kill a spider without jumping or screaming like a girl, love a woman without being selfish, have a brain and earn a living… all at the same time.. I'm not suggesting that anyone her e doesn't – again only coming up with my data based on the morons I've met in life.
Thanks Dude!
Hmmm……… that's funny…. he he he.. good topic. : )
haha… word
I like to say “word up!” sometimes.
I like to say “sattle up partner!” sometimes.
Terry this post is so funny!
It's okay – be yourself. No judgement! Now lemme hear your yodel. lol
Now, singing the Paula Abdul song “Word up”………
Word up now tell me…………………………
I forgot women know how to get a lot of places. They are really good at going in circles, or going crazy or really good at driving me nuts!
Ha this is the first time I noticed this article. Terry, women just like to pretend like we don't have directional sense so the men in our lives will feel important
