Do Men feel anxiety walking into Home
Depot or Lowe’s because they might ask a dumb question and fear losing their Man card?

The biggest way to lose your man card is to walk in there pretending you know what you’re talking about and then making a fool of yourself

VERIFIED

yes but more for the reason that often the employees are rude.

No, not at all, especially now a days.  Don’t have the time and hate going back 19 times while guessing/trying to figure it out when I don’t know. That of course if the person you speak to actually knows what they are talking about

Man! Forgot that! I’ve had conversations with male friends who feel this anxiety due to the wife asking  them to fix something around the house and fear walking into a home improvement  store. I’m comfortable in certain sections of these stores and if I don’t know what I’m looking for, I’ll ask a worker and take it from there. “No fear of failure”

My anxiety runs on many levels. Yes, I feel anxious because I have no idea what I am doing at those places. Also, I feel anxiety because I know whatever the repair is, it will cost me a lot.

Whats bigger to me is to know your limits of what you can do. Don't want to be the idiot that destroys his house and then has to have someone else come fix it

The crisis of masculinity in our society is ever present as gender roles and capabilities continue to be blurred, negotiated, and redefined inside and outside the home. Don't believe the hype, let your ego go and ask for help if you need it. People there are employed to help you no matter if you are a man or women, no consideration or care of your abilities. These are places of commerce and capitalism. All they care about and will judge you on is whether you can pay or not.
