Ugh! That makes me soo mad. I think they think they're alknowing or something. That just because they're male they don't need to use 'instruction manuals' and that they automatically know.

Hm.

Frustrating as the trait common amongst males may be, you're wrong about the reason.

Guys don't think they are all-knowing (in general), or that they don't need to use instruction manuals "because they're male".

Then care to share the reason?

Absolutely.

Of course I can't vouch for every possible guy, but in general, it's the adventure of going it alone, and figuring things out for yourself. It's the rush of independence.

For instance, just last weekend Greg and I set up a tent - and this was no ordinary tent; it was one of those dome tents with all kinds of pockets and other interesting complications. We didn't have the manual - nobody could find it, so we figured it out ourselves. Sure, it took over an hour to get it right, but the point is that we learned, and we figured out how to set it up, ourselves, collaborating between the two of us, without help.

I think that if we had the manual, we still wouldn't have read it - not because we think we're "all that" and know it all already, but you're right in that we don't need it, because we have the capability to do it without. Sure, it may be easier and quicker with the manual and following instructions, but that way we don't learn it ourselves - it's the philosophy about the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching him to

its a guy thing. they automatically assume b/c they're "the man" that they don't need some crummy instruction book to put stuff together. same excuse for getting lose but refusing to ask directions :S

Nope.

Again - wrong about the reason, though admittedly the trait can be irritating.
