It's an expression meant to describe courage. But in this day and age courage is only thought of in physical terms too often! But I see being a man as in the moral terms as well! so feeling fear yet still going through with something...would be courage. Yes it would be if it wasn't "stupid"! |

I always say "nut up". Tis just how Goof rolls. Haha!
Anyways, "Man Up" or "Nut up" means not being a little wuss. You man up. If you see something that you want, you don't let fear get in the way. You "nut up" and take the risk. It also means being a man of your word. Now, this can include intergrity, morals, etc. But it all comes down to being someone who sticks by what they say they will do. It's not about being a tough guy (in a physical sense). It is all about being a man who is honorable. |

To me, in my humble opinion. Manning up is to be accountable for your actions and to face your responsibilities. Being a real man is living up to your character,and your responsibilities. Being the best you can be. If you are in a relationship or married, being true to your girlfriend(if you are in a relationship), being true to your wife(if you are married). If you have children, being the BEST father to your children that you can be. Doing the best for your family that you possibly can. Treating others as you want to be treated. I know that actions speak louder than words. I know that there is a lot that I have probably left out. But this is what I have lived by my whole life. Not bragging, but I think my parents and all of my friends parents ( yes, I considered my friends parents as adopted parents. As my friends also considered my parents as theirs) from back in the day did an awesome job of leading me in my life. You have my vote, well stated..Thank you for manning up. 
Mine too. I believe Rara said it best. |

Obviously a male..other than that what does it take to be a man? I hear the term "man up", he's not a "real man".... I watch my sons turning into men, for now physically. What does manning up and being a real man require? Some say it changes with the status quo. My grandma said, back in the 40s and 50s, you can't be a man if you have never served in any army. For women, they wouldn't even really wanted to date a man who didn't serve..they called them wussies. Today, for some reason the Wall Street figure with a trench coat and business in the stock exchange gets ahead, obviously due to having lots of money and less worries. I'm different. I'm a survivalist. I can do whatever I want to do if I set my mind to it. I don't care about money at all.. I only care about what I care..and most of the time it's very different what others care about. That puts me into a minority group who are similar like me. |

All the qualities of "manning up" are general to both genders..other than the comment Atlantis makes of most or all serving military time..back in a time when women didn't.
So maybe un necessary pressure has been out on men to man up... |

I would like to add "the Seven Virtues." Chastity- Embracing of moral wholesomeness and achieving purity of thought through education and betterment. Temperance- Constant mindfulness of others and one's surroundings; practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation. Charity- Generosity. Willingness to give. A nobility of thought or actions. Diligence- A zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work. Decisive work ethic. Budgeting one's time; monitoring one's own activities to guard against laziness. Patience- Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. The ability to forgive; to show mercy to sinners. Kindness- Charity, compassion, friendship, and empathy without prejudice and for its own sake. Humility- Modest behavior, selflessness, and the giving of respect. Giving credit where credit is due; not unfairly glorifying one's own self. This is a def. of whom we all strive to be like. I try to view people as people first, then the sexes. Being a 'true' human being counts further than 'manning up' in my book. JMHO. |

So men have put more pressure on themselves than has been needed...or did the women over complicate them? When a man puts his arms around me and I feel safe, he has just manned up. |

We offer many man-ups just to be and follow what we feel our rights. common expressions of the small MU's,, open a door, a DO',, so YOU WOULD NOT NEED TO.. many,,,times in our lives we ALL have to STAND UP and Take that action,,,that makes US SHOW,,,who WE OUR..wink |

It may seem like a small thing for a man do do, so simple, not difficult to do.. I have had arms around me many times..rarely did I feel safe. |
