Men's Health Week - Why don't men go to the doctor?

This is Men's Health Week. Women are always telling me that their partners won't go to the doctor. I wonder why so many men won't see a doctor? I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer in 1998. I didn't attend the doctor because I thought there was something wrong, I just went for a check up and she sent me off for some tests. The cancer was detected early, I had it removed, I had treatment and I'm all clear today. Personally I'd prefer to be alive than dead. Our second child was only five months old at the time and since then we have had two more children. I'm glad that I'm around to see them grow up and share my life with them.

So back to my question: why don't men go to the doctor?

Please take the poll on this page and reply with your own reasons if you wish. Women are most welcome to respond too. I'm sure lots of you men will respond.
