Maybe it's having been born and raised in the midwest, but I pretty clearly hear 'for a man.' That's how I would say it, more like 'foruh' than 'for a'. As the article points out, it's rather hard to tell the difference in the two because overpronouncing the ending 'r' of a word naturally makes the same sort of sound. But, based on how we typically talk, 'for a ' would sound like an overpronounced 'for' with an emphasis on the 'r', whereas 'for' would end more with an 'r' sound without a trailing 'uh'.
