Wow. I have had a lot of hostility from women who don’t want men to “man up.” They do two things: 1) They say it indicates men want to dominate women and 2) They try to twist the phrase to mean men should obey women (“man up and do what’s right”).

Look, ladies, did you think men were just going to lay on the couch waiting for you to finish calling them slobs? No. They’ve been making plans to rise up again. They’ve been making plans to quit taking your bitching and complaining and critcizing and get back to living like free men.

They don’t want to dominate you, they just want a beer once in awhile without explaining themselves to death. They don’t think they’re better than you, they think they’re entitled to be themselves without your input.

Ladies, don’t expect to ridicule, mock and manipulate without consequences. He will leave one day. He is making a plan now. He may even know the address where he’ll be living. He’s got his finances planned, and he’s got his friends on alert.

He won’t leave you with angry words. He’ll be too relieved to be free of your control. He’ll be too glad to be away from someone who is so cranky.

And guess what? He’ll easily meet a woman who likes him being a man. He won’t have to explain, justify or defend.

He won’t bring you down to rise up. He’ll just man up and move on.

Guys, read the book. Make a plan. Life is too short.
