If Men want to feel like Men then they have ways to deal with their insecurity:
Redo their own plumbing, twice. Once to change things and again to fix the problem they caused.
Chop firewood.
Build a furnace that you're only going to use like 4 times, ever.
50 pushups. If not reaching it makes you sad, start skipping numbers.

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.

Plumbing is the one thing I won't do myself in diy. If screw ups are made I want the responsible party to fix things, and I don't want to be that party.

Add electrical to that list, because I'm not a fucking wizard, and electricity is magic.

Similarly there is an old adage that a home plumbing repair will take three trips to the hardware store.
-
This also describes me.

With the plumbing example, the first time was a training exercise and doesn't count.

I met a marine mechanic once - he fixed Argos afterwards, which is how I met him. His saying:
One [nut] for me, one for the bilge.

Thank you to everyone in this thread who made me feel part of a community of my peers online for the first time, in a long time.
Every plumbing project (even yesterdays quick upgrade of the kitchen faucet) is at least a 2 tripper. Each time I finish one I swear I'm never moving again. Then, 5 years later, I'm fixing the previous owners mishaps "one last time".
To all the people who've bought houses I lived in, I'm sorry for all of the " what was that idiot thinking" moments I've caused you. Ha

Hmm from what you said it's more like, "Yup, I can see what shit the last guy had to fix. Thanks friend I'll never meet."

I'll take that perspective! Cheers

Argos is still frustrating at times, he did not succeed.

start skipping numbersforgive yourself and repeat tomorrow. You'll feel awesome when you get there.-
NO. THATS NOT MANLY ENOUGH. REAL MEN GIVE THEMSELVES THE AUTHORITY TO SKIP NUMBERS.

No! Perfection every time! Especially the first time.
