Never mind, you meant read directions. But to reply to you and geezerbill, I for one read directions when needed, as explained earlier. Can't speak for the rest of mankind.

*Never* met a man who likes to read? Where do you meet men?

I don't think much about male stereotypes ...but all I know is that I've never met a man in my life who liked to read or ask for directions.

"It's a rather stupid assumption to make that one who doesn't read manuals is somehow stereotypical"

The 'guy-who-doesn't-read-directions' is already male stereotype whether you like it or not. It doesn't magically cease to being a known stereotype to the status quo just because you think the action is justifiable on a personal level.

Now, granted, I have to check the manual to see where to plug all of the wires into a motherboard, for instance, but only because pinouts aren't clearly labeled on the board. But most computer manuals are full of overly basic drivel about plugging the thing in and finding the power and reset buttons. I certainly don't define myself using Larry the cable guy, and in fact have rarely seen him perform. It's a rather stupid assumption to make that one who doesn't read manuals is somehow stereotypical. Keep your stereotypes to yourselves.
