Not me, but my wife is constantly asked to provide directions. It doesn't matter where we are, even on vacation she'll be approached for directions. As far as we can tell, it's because she looks non-threatening and confident.

Pedantic correction: amazons are female. They were a tribe of female warriors in Greek mythology. My Latin & mythology teacher said that the derivation of the term is "without breast", because they would cut off their right breast to make it easier to draw a bowstring, but a bit of web research seems to through that derivation into question.
