if it be our goal upon leaving point "A" to arrive at point "B", i see not the significance of any difference by taking the left at the post office vs. going west on main...and after all, isn't getting there (at least) half the fun!?

When strangers ask her for directions, Karen Kostyal responds quickly. She has lived around Washington about 30 years and has a well-rooted sense of the area. Nonetheless, the <A target="" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Alexandria?tid=informline">Alexandria</A> resident says, "my husband usually cuts in," supporting the stereotype that men feel their sense of orientation and direction is superior.

"No question," says Buzz Smith, Kostyal's husband. "It's not that I don't get lost. [But] I can give directions . . . better than my wife can."

That assertion may be contestable, but there are well-documented differences in how men and women get from Point A to Point B -- perhaps giving a scientific root to timeworn jokes about women being batty drivers and men never admitting (though committing) error. Studies over the past decade have shown that women are likelier to rely on landmarks and visual cues, and men on maps, cardinal directions (such as north and south) and gauges of distance.
