He's Not Your Man is a bait-and-swich snowclone in which a post begins by suggesting that if "Ladies, if your man" does certain things, he's not "your man." However, over the course of the listed things, it's clear the poster is talking about someone highly specific, leading to the punchline, "He's not your man. He's X."
