No, men don’t nap.
You probably need to get your T checked. Hand in your man card until you get it straightened out.

“Why we sleep” by Mathew Walker has some good insights and studies done on the topic of napping
TLDR - short naps improve your overall health

A proper nap should be 10-25 minutes. Anymore and I feel groggy or have trouble sleeping. I take a nap every single day.

we used to take a "sleep" class as part of annual recurrent training because just about everything we do is on the back side of our circadian rhythm, pretty interesting stuff, really puts you to sleep

Lotsa evidence to support this.

Never. I never take a nap. I stay moving seems like I never stop. ADD definitely.
I'm sleepy all of the time and never get enough sleep no matter how hard I try, but if I try to take a nap, I can't because I can't stop thinking about random things. I'm assuming this is ADD as well.

I nap fairly often during the work week. I will lie down for about an hour after work.
...and this doesn't affect your sleep at night?

Napping is my warmup for sleep

I will nap in a deer stand… but my alarm is set for 4:00

I have not taken a nap in about 30 years. I would assume that this is not normal.

nearly daily
I wake up every work day at 4:00 am so my internal clock wakes me up the same on Sat/Sun.
I get up and do a bunch of stuff early then get a nap around 2 pm
This.
Nap usually only last 45 minutes to an hour.
In bed by 8pm most days.
Consistency is the secret sauce. Going to bed and waking at the same time seven days a week is a cheat code.
