No, it doesn't bother me; there undoubtedly are a lot of 'not very practical' men out there who would be better advised to get someone in.
I don't claim to be perfect (and, yes, I have hit my thumb with a hammer a few times) but I'm capable of doing a lot of things provided I can do them at my own pace (I'll do it when I get a round tuit)!

I'm looking now to see it I can see any joins in the wallpaper ...I suppose I can see a few if I really look.

Re: Do you mind (men)?
My misses gets a good laugh when I try something and make a pigs ear of it, she knows I'll have a go at anything, give it a lash as they say here, I won't however go near the roof anymore, fell off the ladder twice and once I dropped a plastic bucket on a neighbours head, it was quarter filled with muck from the gutter, no serious damage done just a big bump, that was funny, even his wife couldn't stop laughing when she came out and seen the state of him, I was all apologies but he was very nice about it when I took him out and treated him to a few jars that night.I never minded getting a slagging about DIY stuff, mind you some of it turned our great and I didn't expect a pat on the back for that either, not that I'd ever get it.
