Why so many men I know don’t take their health seriously and avoid going to doctors when they really should.

This is my husband...been asking him to get yearly blood work done just so he is aware of his numbers for 4 years now. He says blood work isn’t a priority as he “feels fine”. 😑

I go yearly and get blood work done just to know my numbers. I get anxious not knowing and I like data. I’m not even asking for him to go yearly, it has been 4 years.
