Men Need THIS To Become A Good Boyfriend (What To Do)
Now the title might ruffle a few feathers for those reading this because what woman likes the idea of what a man needs to be a good boyfriend; not many, I would imagine.
Here’s the thing, if you’ve been scratching your head wondering where are all the chivalrous men who have a purpose or direction in romantic love, to be fully honest… they are everywhere and nowhere. Meaning men aren’t born this way, they have to be encouraged or better yet, trained.
In today’s episode, we are going to explore the DEEPER benefit of understanding male behavior and why it’s better to train a guy than hope for a perfect guy.
Let’s talk about… Men Need This to Become A Good Boyfriend

I love training men starting with “little someday men,” because what this means is I get to abundantly reward them and in return I get adoration. Today I was told “I love you best” at least five times by my favorite little man. Training is the perfect word in meaning but, yes, there probably is a better one but I don’t know what it is – putting on thinking cap as you speak.
Bingo – unskilled. This is it. The whole reason men do a lot of what they do is because of what women do. Jonathon, I agree 100% with you that most people are fucked up, and I don’t have all the formal training you have I just have been observing people for a long time, and some of those people are people commenting on podcasts and what they say is sometimes very revealing (and, yes, I know the three fingers are pointing back directly at me!)
Absolutely, compassion and understanding and above all else NOBODY CAN READ YOUR MIND, and even if you think you can read theirs, you can’t! You don’t have to blatantly tell a man, “This is what you have to do,” but if they do something great than praise them to the high heavens. Pavlov’s dog effect – they’ll keep doing what gives them rewards and who benefits, why you do, the woman. How much fun is that!
I have to finish the job I’m on so I’ll be back later to listen to the conclusion to this but, Jonathon, what I’ve heard so far is brilliant, right on, needs to be said over and over until it becomes second nature to women. Thank you.
Jonathon Aslay says
You love training men? That’s a first… lol
Linda Curtis says
Please tell me it’s not really a “first.” Easy, fun, rewarding. I can’t be the only one who thinks so. Maybe it’s the whole “training” that messes people up. What I do is just listen, praise, acknowledge, rinse and repeat. There is training in that but not in the way that people might think in terms of training military!
Well, Jonathon, I suppose you have recently fallen “victim” to some serious training since I gave you my very emphatic views on the last podcast. Where does training come into it. I figure you are looking for your next partner, and when you find her she will think you are absolutely amazing and brilliant AND she will also not agree 100% with everything you say, so I gave you some practice with flipping your mind over to focus on an opposing view. Of course, I did tell you that you are brilliant, which you are!
Jonathon Aslay says
Let’s just say, I’m very grateful for your perspective… all well thought out opinions are appreciated.

Thank you for another wonderful podcast!! You are spot on that most people are unskilled at being in a relationship. Hence the reason there are so many divorces. Thank you for the reminders about boundaries and standards. It is so true that if you are afraid to share your truth, it’s a problematic relationship.
It was nice to hear awareness in your own “training” with the word “but” and as you backtracked some. ?
What you want in a relationship/partner is exactly what I want. Thank you for putting it into words so well!
A topic I would enjoy hearing more about is how to balance your standards with your “dream guy.” Obviously, the deal breakers are, well, deal breakers. But there are some that seem to be borderline like the number of days/nights spent together from your example. It seems like there are going to have to be some compromises in your “dream guy.”
Jonathon Aslay says
awe… thank you. And thank you for sharing.
