Why is it this term gets thrown around like sluts in a nightclub? I’ve never got this term and I f~~~ing hate it. When ever my paarents, co-workers, classmates, extended family, etc. says this stupid term to me, I have no idea what to say back. And usually, I’m really good with comebacks.
Also, if the term “man up” is supposed to mean becoming a f~~~ing mangina, working yourself 40+ hours a week, and getting a girlfriend/wife, then no thanks.
Did any of you other MGTOWs out there had this said to you? If so, what did you say back? Or did you just stay silent about it? My dad says it constantly to me joking or not. My mom says it, but only to my dad.
It’s just one thing that’s annoying about today’s society. If men said “get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich bitch!” to women, they’d be called sexist/misogynistic, etc.
Yeah it’s a really really common saying. That and “a real man would xyz”. And it’s ALWAYS- F~~~ING ALWAYS connected to something they want you to do for them.
Usually you can say, “a real woman does xyz” or, “a real man does whatever the f~~~ he wants”. as a comeback, etc.
My main comeback for when people ask me “why don’t you want to get married”, I respond, “Because I’m smart”. It gets em every time, and you can see the cogs in their head going into overdrive to find some bulls~~~ to say.
For example:
So I was hanging out with a few of my friends a couple nights ago. As usual the topic of girls come up, and most of them know my stance on them, however, they will not relent.
They’re like “think of everything you’re missing out on dude!”
My response? “What exactly am I missing out on? Every single quality you name I have no need for. Girls aren’t actually special- if you can’t point out a “special” aspect unique only to them, it doesn’t exist! In fact, if you look at any man that has done ANYTHING (Nicola Tesla, Ben Franklin, Steve Jobs, etc), they were NOT married or had girlfriends when they did it.
His response? Well, you need to be married because although you might be doing great things (I had mentioned buying a very large house filled with tools, my own servers, etc), you’ll be eating things like ramen, mac and cheese, and mcdonalds every night hahahahaha!”
So that’s it? Scrapping the bottom of the barrel for the most completely random reasons to give? You’ll be REAL smart, but will lack the ability to cook? LOL. I should probably mention that this guy JUST got married a few months ago as well, and is living the typical life one would expect. I’m making a small bet with myself as to how his life will turn out. They haven’t had a baby yet, but I can already smell the sickening amount of pampering and facebook “love” his wife- I mean THEY’LL get. Then comes the decision to buy a house. He will slowly become a shell of the man he once was, completely wrapped up in his family. When he’s in his 40-50’s, he’ll remanise over what he USED to do. Meanwhile, I’ll actually be living my life. Jesus, these peoples lives are so predictable.
He doesn’t know that my cooking skills are actually on point, and I’m adding to them. I can make a full course meal by MYSELF, from healthy natural ingredients. Not a processed item in sight. Besides, it’s NOT that hard to follow a recipe. I haven’t had ramen or macdonalds in weeks, and mac and cheese (box kind) in several months.
are you a chia pet in man drag Hello and welcome to the Forums. Nice avatar by the way. Good taste.
First, you have to understand “MAN UP” is a lame and pathetic “shaming tactic“. It’s a cheap and predictable trick designed to play on your insecurities in a desperate attempt to make what you have expressed to have a problem with ….. YOUR problem.
It’s not.
Example:
“So when are you gonna man up and get married?”
“Marriage is for gays.”
Boom. Roasted. That’s how easy it is to tear it apart. It has no weight. “Man Up” is the implication that you are required (and expected) to tolerate any s~~~ty treatment and unacceptable behavior – as if your objection to them are totally unjustified. Never fall for that s~~~.
They say “man up” when they expect you to take a bullet to protect a female you don’t even know. … or drown on a sinking ship. And if you really pay attention to when they use it – and what they mean – you will realize they are not actually asking you to STEP UP, they are expecting you to LOWER yourself.
• “Man up and give her your jacket”.
• “Man up and die in this war”
• “Man up and don’t worry about the cost of divorce”.
• “Man up and work 70 hours a week so that some bitch can drive a new SUV every 2 years”.When ever my paarents, co-workers, classmates, extended family, etc. says this stupid term to me, I have no idea what to say back.
If it comes from a woman, you say:
“What would YOU know about being a MAN??? You’re a western female. What would you even know about being ……. HUMAN.”
If it comes from another dude you don’t respect, you say:
“If being a man meant being like you, I’d rather be queer”
Also, if the term “man up” is supposed to mean becoming a f~~~ing mangina, working yourself 40+ hours a week, and getting a girlfriend/wife, then no thanks.
Congratulations, you already have the right idea. With practice you will be able to shut them up with a few well chosen words.
If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.Yeah it’s a really really common saying. That and “a real man would xyz”. And it’s ALWAYS- F~~~ING ALWAYS connected to something they want you to do for them.
Usually you can say, “a real woman does xyz” or, “a real man does whatever the f~~~ he wants”. as a comeback, etc.

Agreed. Women offer nothing special, and whenever they say “man-up” it’s something the mangina or women want you to do to please other women. Women in general are annoying as f~~~ to be around. Plus, they want tradcon men when they don’t want to be tradcon women.
If that’s the case, I’d rather do things myself. Even if they were the NWALT unicorn they found, they know they have the law on their side to screw you over.
Those are some good comebacks for “man-up” also.
Plus, they want tradcon men when they don’t want to be tradcon women.
That’s key right there. They expect YOU to “Man up” and provide all the traditionally male roles and responsibilities while not being interested in providing any of the female traditional roles and responsibilities. They have no problem tell you what you’re “supposed” to do as man…. which is twice as embarrassing when it’s coming from a woman.
“You’re supposed to pay because you’re the MAN.”
“Fine. Then you’re supposed to shut up and bend over because you’re the woman.”
It’s just as preposterous.
If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.That’s key right there. They expect YOU to “Man up” and provide all the traditionally male roles and responsibilities while not being interested in providing any of the female traditional roles and responsibilities.
Yes. It is a one way street.
Well, one cannot have a friendship in a one way direction. One cannot even have an association in a one way direction. There has to be something that is given in return on a regular basis. (And sex does not count.)
Even a master has to provide something to their slave to get to slave to continue to work. Even if it just the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter.
But, this women and this society demand EVERYTHING from boys and men, with nothing in return.
Society cannot continue to function the way it is going because the producers get nothing for their efforts, and everyone else profits from the producers.
Example:
“So when are you gonna man up and get married?”
“Marriage is for gays.”

I’ve also used the “marriage for gays and women” in chat rooms. Gets them every time haha.
I’ve been called a sexist because of it, but that term is over used because of feminist t~~~s. Doesn’t really mean anything anymore.
If it comes from a woman, you say:
“What would YOU know about being a MAN??? You’re a western female. What would you even know about being ……. HUMAN.”
If it comes from another dude you don’t respect, you say:
“If being a man meant being like you, I’d rather be queer”
Haha, that’s awesome. I’ve never used that one before. I’ll definitely end up stealing this.
I’ve also heard the term “Peter pan boys” in articles shaming men that are bachelors. Well, I’d rather be a “Peter pan boy” than take care of your sorry ass.
I’ve also used the “marriage for gays and women” in chat rooms. Gets them every time haha.
Because they can’t nail you on it. It’s actually “politically correct” so they CAN”T have a problem with it. They HAVE to shut the f~~~ up right there. that response is “pro gay marriage”. Just sit back and enjoy watching the steam come out of their ears. Especially the tradcons.
I’ve been called a sexist
Nobody is more “sexist” than the people who uses that term. It’s “sexist” for you to refuse to get married or pay for a woman, but it’s not “sexist” for her to expect it?? It’s not “sexist” for her to expect you to waste 2-3 months of after tax savings on a useless diamond and kneel down….. but if you EXPECT her to make you a sammich every day, you’re now “sexist”????
It takes 5000 hours of labour and travel time for you to earn enough to purchase a diamond engagement ring. 5000 hours! Making a sammich takes 5 minutes. In order to be equal with the ring, she would have to make a sammich everyday for you – for 165 years.
Who’s the “sexist” now.
A woman who says “thats’ sexist” because you expect her to make you a sammich while she is holding her hands out for an engagement ring is right f~~~ out of her mind.
Peter pan boys”
That’s another shaming tactic. As if not being interested in signing a marriage contract is somehow a sign of “immaturity”. But guess what. Marriage is not a sign of maturity or accountability. If it were, how childish is every woman who ever initiated a divorce??
If being married is “mature” then every divorced woman is a f~~~ing infant.
“Peter Pan” my ass. That’s why a woman telling you to “man up” is a JOKE.If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.Hello and welcome to the Forums. Nice avatar by the way. Good taste.
Thanks, and I had no idea what to use for an avatar. So I thought this would be better haha.
“Marriage is for gays.”
Exactly, I never want to end up married. My dad wants me to marry, have a wife, kids, white picket fence, all the works because he’s a tradcon. I don’t really know my mom’s stance on it yet.
I’ve also used the term “marriage is for gays and women.” in chat rooms before. Works every time. Some people call me sexist after that, but that term has become useless in today’s society. It’s been over used by feminist t~~~s.
If it comes from a woman, you say:
“What would YOU know about being a MAN??? You’re a western female. What would you even know about being ……. HUMAN.”
If it comes from another dude you don’t respect, you say:
“If being a man meant being like you, I’d rather be queer”
Haha, I love that one. I’m definitely going to end up using it.

If being married is “mature” then every divorced woman is a f~~~ing infant.
Yep. If I lived back in the “Amish” times of the US and got married, I’d definitely expect my wife to cook at the very least. Hell, she doesn’t even to clean. Just cook. That’s the least you could do for me if I’m going to provide for you.
I always find it hilarious that marriage is somehow a sign of maturity when a man wants to get married, but it’s being “strong and independant” if a woman wants a divorce. If that’s the way society views men, then I’m definitely opting out altogether.
I’d definitely expect my wife to cook
Not me. I’m a far better cook than any girlfriend I ever had. They burn water when they make tea.

That’s true. Plus, men at least pre-make food to last them the whole week. (Most single guys do anyway especially if they’re trying to build lean muscle)
Not to mention the best chefs in the world are men.
One way you can get them to hastle you less is also to pretend you’re a blue pill.

In today’s society, men are fungible assets — like a cog in a machine. “This one’s worn out. Put in a new one, and get the machine running again.”
Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?
Night clubs? Are they using it becasue men won’t approach their STD ridden asses? Please. Some of the worst human beings on the planet frequent clubs.
Probably the oldest shaming tactic in the book used to get us to marry, stop having fun, etc.
Nope.
I have manned out.
Fuck this planet.I would take it real differently coming from a man, like a father, than from a woman.
Usually a man might say that when it’s time to get off your ass and do something for yourself. “Man up and yank that tooth out”, or “man up and shoot that elk”. A man needs that sometimes, to be reminded he has b~~~~.
From a woman I’d just find it f~~~ing insulting. It’s just more manipulating, castrating language. It’s the same as saying you have no b~~~~.Not me. I’m a far better cook than any girlfriend I ever had. They burn water when they make tea.
No s~~~! I can take damn near nothing and make a tasty meal out of it. Most girlfriends could take 50 bucks worth of good food and make it taste like it came from a school cafeteria. Broads at work f~~~ing burned microwave popcorn over and over and over.

Bonus points if anyone can find my “Man Up” parody of “Word Up”
Ok, here is something relating to men, I consider MGTOW to challenge. Why the hell does the being of a man involve having to get a woman? You know, in this SJW world, go ahead and tell a gay man he needs to “man up” and get a woman. Go on and do it. I dare someone to tell it. But, apparently, the only out for a man who doesn’t have a woman, is to be gay I guess.
The only “man up” I see is that a man end up eventually getting a job and getting on his own. He happens to pay his bills and isn’t a burden. If he doesn’t break the law, and manages to do things constructive, why the hell would you have him bring a woman into the mix? A measure of a man isn’t measured by whether or not he has a woman. In that case, it is a blasted shame Isaac Newton never “manned up”.
And with this thread, I am SO posted to do a video on how having a wife and children is a cop-out/passing the buck from actually doing useful things for humanity.

Well this should keep them off your back . . . ” I’m working on it as hard and as fast as I can. ”
Just don’t tell them you are doing it MGTOW way.to me, while growing up, i always thought that man up meant to just be a better man. as in a better human.
hu-man.
man-up.until i started running into feminazi c~~~s, or really just women in general who started warping the shaming phrase that it is today.
they are such negative creatures.
But anywho; now adays, whenever someone tells me to man up, which is pretty much never because only women say it now adays, and because i’m pretty damn good at ending a conversation in one word, it keeps it very rare.
however, when it does happen, my reply is usually something along the lines of, “why? i’m already a better person than you!” or, “how so?” followed by a break down of how much better i am than that person.My Goal: To Leave Society.
