Captured Thought: Men's Egos

For as long as the earth has been spinning, men have been stubborn and egotistical. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think that men are selfish pigs. They just have a problem admitting when they are wrong (because they are never wrong..ha). A classic example of this typical male behavior is trying to get a man to ask for directions. If you have ever been on a road trip when a man has been driving, often, they know where they are going and can get you there in an unusually speedy amount of time (because they have been speeding..). But, on the rare occasion you seem to be moving a little more slowly and the male driver is scratching his head and looking around, it takes slightly longer to arrive at your destination. If you simply ask if you are lost, he will immediately grumble, "no," and keep driving. Once more time has gone by and you have passed the same restaurant seven times, you quietly suggest that he asks somebody for directions. This is the moment where his alpha male instincts kick in and he suddenly knows more than anybody else in the entire world. He will insist that he knows exactly where he is going and stopping is just a waste of time. Whether you end up at your destination rests solely on your luck from then out. Telling a man to ask for directions makes him feel like you are doubting his ability to fend for himself and triggers something inside him that makes him feel the need to be right, even if he knows he is wrong. There isn't much we can do about this. It is the way men have always been and probably always will be.
I guess women aren't perfect either. : ]
