There are a lot of things that fall under men's interest that we are simply uninterested in. Of course, there are women out there that are into things that are considered to be stereotypically masculine, but for the sake of this humorous piece, we're going to stereotype. Video games, football, and beer are all distractions from what's really important - the ladies in their lives. Duh! We're totally kidding. We love beer just as much as the next girl, and we can't hate on the dudes for their beer bellies when we're packing the same thing. Today, we're going to talk about an oddly specific thing that guys are into. Twitter user @wife_geist tweeted about how men love to go on Google Maps to see how far places are from one another, and now that he pointed out, it's one of the most accurate things we've heard. Other men came to the comments to confess that they're guilty of strange behavior all the time.
