HOW TO GET THE GIRL


Spanking new column, about tips on
"HOW TO GET THE GIRL"


Today's tip:

MAN UP!

Meaning:
Fulfill your responsibilities as a man, despite your insecurities and constant ability to place yourself in embarrasing and un-manly scenarios.
Be strong.
Take control of a the situation, rise to the moment.
Strap on a pair, grow some balls, stop being such a complete and utter wuss.

The expression comes from
the phrase "cowboy up", meaning "be tough, be strong, act like a real cowboy", which was in use in rodeo circles at least since the mid-1970's. "Man up" means, similarly, "be tough, be a man, do what a man should do.

    These days guys excuse their lack of virtue by hiding behind the excuse of being “just a guy.” Men need to do better and strive to improve themselves each day.

I was convinced that I was the best driver of all of my friends so I would gladly take the wheel, sometimes for 18 hours straight. I loved everything about it. The whole body and machine integration was a definite high for me. This went on from when I was 18 (mini...
