I think it boils down to men feeling the need to be independent, self-reliant, strong, capable, etc. I think you can point to society for that, or just human genetics. ‘Boys don’t cry,’ that kind of thing. Some people don’t realize that boys and men have this pressure to be strong and not complain or need help. Asking for directions shows weakness, which is a big deal for a lot of men. And furthermore, it seems many women admire those qualities in men (strength and control) so it ties into that – not necessarily to impress a woman by not asking directions, but a general sense of needing to be capable and in control.
