English term or phrase: "too blokey"
One survey suggests that some women prefer to visit the doctor, another states that garages are ‘too blokey’ and the general opinion is one of apprehension.

"příliš chlapské"
Explanation:
"The report reveals that the main reasons why women are put-off garages is because the experience is too "blokey" (39%); the staff come across as patronising and rude (27%); and the atmosphere makes them feel intimidated (23%).

Sheilas' Wheels exclusively uses "female-friendly" repairers who receive additional guidelines and advice to be more receptive to women's needs. They follow a code of practice to better meet the individual requirements of female motorists, such as helping with child car seats, arranging visits to fit around school runs, offering flexible drop-off and pick-up times during daylight hours, and so on."

případně "dosti" nebo "příliš" typicky..., ale to je asi zbytečné
