Stop Being So Nice To Men, Here’s Why
Let’s face it, women can often be too nice to men who treat them poorly, hoping that the relationship will turn into something more meaningful. By the way, men say the same thing, so this isn’t a one-sided thing.
A friend once told me: being nice is not telling someone what you think.
Have you ever done that, have you ever bitten your tongue and held back expressing your truth to a man with whom you were in a relationship or maybe are still with?
In today’s podcast, we are going to explore the DEEPER importance of speaking up to bad behavior (especially by men) and why it’s so important in the long run for more intimacy.

Jonathon, great, actually excellent, podcast. I will add, for the record, women, stop being so nice to woman who give you advice because most of it is really bad advice. They are even more dangerous than men. Trust your heart. You know the truth so pay attention to your “gut feelings” when it comes to both men and women. You are the one with the power to know what’s right for you.
Jonathon, your story mimics my brother’s, being called stupid and then thinking, even though he had a brilliant mind, that he was stupid and, thus, giving up. I was the one who was popular and well liked even by teachers I consistently argued with. The one time in my life that I truly respected my mother was when she told a teacher who gave the excuse that he was “Latin” so his yelling at me was okay. My mother told him she was Indian but didn’t go around scalping people!
Thank you so much for saying emphatically that there is no need to blame. What so many “victims” conveniently forget is that, yes, as a little child they were helpless and were victims but as soon as they reached adulthood it became a choice. They could choose to be a victim or they could choose liberation by doing all the inner child work or dark nights of the soul. Yes, dark night of the soul is not a one-time experience. You have to go down to hell and face those demons multiple times and in the end not only understand but forgive.
I couldn’t agree more – interrogate, interrogate everyone! What I have learned is that the vast majority of people have no idea why they believe what they believe or know that they actually do believe it. Someone at some time told them to believe, do, act a certain way and so they robotically do as they were told without examining why. So, interrogate yourself, interrogate every single person you interact with, for two reasons, one is so you know on what level you can trust their “truth,” and secondly to see if they actually know why they believe their “truth.”
Well, Jonathon this was one of your very best podcasts so thank you very much. Despite anything you were told in your childhood you are an extremely smart, capable, kind, compassionate man and I thank you for that.
WOW! Thank you soooooooooooo much for this kind message/comment, much appreciated. Sending hugs
