Why men have a better sense of direction
12-08-2015, 11:39 AM
One of the reasons is that men and women have different eyes, women have closer set eyes which gives a greater peripheral sight while men have wider set eyes which gives better depth perception and better ability to focus on distant objects.
This means men are better at seeing things that are far away, which is pretty useful for navigating, but it also means we run around shouting 'where did I put that thing' while your girlfriend or mom always seem to be able to find lost stuff quickly in the house.
Just one of the many small differences, men evolved eyes to spot prey, women evolved to keep track of where their kids were running around.

Think outside the box once in a while gentlemen.
A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.
A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring.

Girls can find anything in my room in seconds. Wallet, phone, condoms, other girl's hairclip, my tie. It's ridiculous. I can't see what they can see even when it is right in front of my eyes.
Yet when it comes to direction, girls don't seem to have any kind of interior compass. Give me a 10 second glimpse at a map and the direction North and I can find my way around a city for hours. Only girls can walk up a road, walk back down a parallel neighbouring road, and think they are still going in the same direction.

Not surprised, my sense of direction is pretty incredible.

I started really learning how to get around DC around the time I started lifting.
Never really thought about that correlation. Huh.
EDIT: thought. I'm bad at speeling today I guess.

Men have a better sense of direction because they don't spend their whole lives waiting for other people to fix their problems.

If you're going places, you need a good sense of direction. Human being vs human doing. It's why we stand up to pee.

Men in general have more difficult lives than women. As a man we have a full understand about our low sexual value, that we start off with. Women on the other hand, get everything handed to them. I remember this attractive blonde girl telling me how in London, she gets free taxis, free drinks, free entry into expensive clubs. As well as pretty much any job she wants, because she is a woman. It may sound like an exaggeration but I have heard this many times before. Combined with feminism and modern culture making out manipulative, cruel women are somehow strong and fighting the patriarchy. And not failing to mention this lack of taking responsibility on the premise, that 'following your heart' is always right, aka, being able to rationalise your stupid decisions.
The sentiments of this are not entirely negative, I suppose what is irritating is how the bias is simply not understood. Which is the case in most other parts of the world. But this is the juvenile attitude that is perpetuated through the media and education system. If you were to personify it with a character, you can imagine a spoilt rich white teenage girl. Who thinks that her parents not buying her a car, is some form of cruelty or oppression.
Men on the other hand, need to constantly strive to improve themselves in order to get sex. The inequality and harsh facts of life, are clearly obvious. Strength is admired, morality and good character is rarely rewarded. This cynical attitude applies to all aspects of life. And is branded as politically incorrect or 'bitter' by the mainstream narrative. However by playing the role of a victim, you will simply find yourself swept up by the tide. Nature doesn't reward losers or those who can adapt and understand her laws.
This all links in with the topic title, when dogs are biting at your arse (like Elliot Hulse says), you have nowhere to run, instead forwards. I also believe this red pill understanding of life, which only really men get (Women get it at a much later stage). Pushes you towards more higher refined tastes. Understanding that you are alone essentially, and the need to be self dependent is completely vital. Which also explains why men solely go to ashrams and monasteries. Everything else is conditional.

Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral
