I would say that instead being a stand-up guy, he’s actually more of a stood-up guy. And since “stand” is present tense and “stood” is in the past, there’s some hope that maybe things will change.
I liked my metaphor better :“I’ve been turned down more times than a hotel bedspread.” from Just Lucky, Book 2: Love and Hate available on Amazon along with Book 1. (unpaid advertisement—we indy authors need all the help we can get. Sorry.)
