40 years ago, in joint family systems a man need not even be working to get married. The Marriage was supported by the entire family for many years until the guy could get working. "Manning up" means delaying marriage for a long time. Isn't their some Islamic injunction for delaying marriage until far too late in life? I know several people who are still "manning up" and they've hit their early 40s. Do you know why? Because the criteria for Manning up is far too long and tedious. These men have had jobs but unsuccessful ones. They have had careers which never took off. They've had businesses which just didn't work out.

Getting an odd ball job isn't going to man you up, even if you worked 20 years at it. In todays world you cannot get married unless you have a stable career job. Those are hard to come by for many people in Pakistan. The result? Many guys go well into their 30s, some even 40s to get some semblance of stability and THEN get married. By that time they already have several issues which they carry into a new marriage.
