You don’t lose when you fail, you lose when you give up.

Most of the time, whoever is telling you to man up, is trying to exploit you.
"Man up" doesn't help you in divorce court.
"Man up" doesn't take the finger off the trigger.

Why do these influencers keep acting like they need to tell young dudes to chase girls all the time? A young dude is better off spending his earliest adult years learning and crafting himself into a better man. Too many dudes were raised being around dysfunctional, tyrannical women constantly, the last thing you need is more women emotionally distracting you. I don’t even hate women, but this is truly what most young men need to realize.

I totally understand this. Been through it. Walking out of it. I’m in my 40’s. How about this: Do the work on yourself, first. Then understand your patterns and what do all of the failed relationships have in common? Not just your choices and habits, but also the history of those women. Ultimately, I have learned: You attract what you are….. Self Awareness is critical.

I’m 53 and put 24 years into a relationship only for her to bail as soon as I got ill and my income fell. As poverty knocks on the door, love flies out the window. Never expect your partner to have your back the way you have theirs.

I'm in my 40s and I've been focusing on my goals. I don't have time for bullshit. I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm not "going my own way" as much as I am just not focusing on acquiring a life partner.

It's wild that you chose the age 45 as an example. My boyfriend is 45. He has been abandoned by every woman in his life except his mom. We are giving it a shot. He is full of a pain that I can't even begin to understand. But I see the good in him. And that's all it took for me.

Couldn’t agree more, I’m that 45yr old man that was hurt by relationships and I can also tell you that integrating your emotions, including crying, is perceived as weakness by women. It’s very hard being yourself, but it’s worth the effort in the end because everything is better than making compromises at your own expense. Man up men!😎

I think the issue is that many people don't have support systems. We all doon't have the connections and roots those before us had that makes it harder for men to do what men used to do

[samuelprince]

I think young men should workout, chase excellence, stop being lazy, and regarding to women, men should not make a woman the focus of their life because if they do women will look at it the other way and see you as needy and not a man who is focused on his goals, women should be a compliment to the lives of men, not the focus. And one last thing Men can choose to be in an LTR if they want but do NOT sign a contract that rewards the opposite gender for breaking the contract in the first place.

While I agree with the sentiment, when are we going to hear people saying that girls should 'women up'

[zendao]

It's nice and all but... when it comes to women and relationships, what exactly do I need to "man up" for? A whole host of women who are 10 times worse than their grandmothers? The ones who see me as nothing but walking ATM? The ones who divorce me a moment of convenience because... "I'm not happy", "I'm not feeling it"?

[Halligan]

"I don't think there's enough people saying 'Man Up'" 😂😂😂 that was a good one. Whew. That was crazy. Good one laddie 😂😂😂 damn I do be laughin. Clever character.

[Billiard-cpmy]

As a woman, if I have a failed relationship behind me, I look at myself first. Where did I go wrong. What could I have done better. Is my picker off? I stay on my own for years until I figure that out. I learn all I can about what men want and how to make them happy, then I find someone who is willing to make me happy as well.

[Admiral_Jezza]

Usually a Chad Williamson fan here but he misses the mark on this one. If "manning up" means getting your stuff taken in a divorce and crying in front of your friends, then I'll pass. Besides, would anyone ever tell women to "woman up"?

[TK-enhq]

People have told men Nothing but "man up" for decades.

[conorkeyes]

Chris has had his struggles, no doubt. But he was a male model and is unlikely to understand how it feels to be completely invisible to women.

Men that go their own way aren’t whining. And whining about them going their own way is part of the reason they will continue to do so. Men are recognizing that we have a raw ass deal. By going their own way they avoid complaining. It’s the incels that whine.

[angusharley]

I agree with this, but I have aspergers and certain relationships, especially romantic ones stress me out to the degree that it ruins my job, my finances, the sports I play and the things that are actually important to me. There will always be people who genuinely need to go their own way for their own sanity, and I am one of them.
