Why women are worse at map-reading than men:

Can't really put an arguement up against this as not a Professor of Brain Matter or Stastitics. Only know that men would never admit to driving round and round a motorway before they sorted out the correct exit. Unfortunately, us women would do and, therefore, that becomes a stastitic in someone's book. That to me is the big difference!!
I think there is something primeval when women are navigating for their partners/husbands and it is a matter of 'you the leader; me the follower' ... so get on with it. We don't try so hard .. a sort of attention seeking for protection.
I myself have turned many a wrong corner, but always been able to get myself back on track USING A MAP .. never have to use my sat.nav. and don't use the map upside down either. I'm sure lots of my 'fellow' .. gawd that's ironic ... ladies have too.
Agree we have different brains, but feel this is just a matter of experience, etc.
