Ser hombrecito

'' Al fin se ha decidido a acabar con sus dudas.......as ser lo bastante hombrecito para aguardar a verlos salir..."
Hola! amigo-as, agradecería su ayuda de nuevo.Podría traducir lo en título como "valiente? " o sea " bastante valiente para esperar verlos ?
Gracias

El significado cambia según sea el personaje. Hace falta contexto, en este caso, la descripción.

El tipo sospecha a su mujer.No tengo descripción de su personaje. Supongo que se necesita coraje para que les espere afuera de un hotel.

Si es un adulto, "ser lo bastante hombrecito" lo describe como un pusilánime y lo exhorta sutilmente a "to grow a pair".
