Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top

Adam Lyons is a long-time stalwart in the world of men's dating advice, but these days he's also a movie maven and spends lots of time helping people build their businesses. But today, he's here for two reasons...first to get back to his roots of helping YOU be better with women, and second to discuss being a 'throuple' with his two live-in girlfriends. Now, the last time Adam was here back in episode 34 he had just gotten married. What happened with that relationship that led to his current polyamorous arrangement? How does Adam's family members and social circle--and even the poly community at large--respond to his decidedly unconventional lifestyle? How did a third partner get added into the mix, anyway? Philosophically speaking, Adam and I discuss if you can really love more than one person...and if so, how? As a break in the conversation, we then trade tips on how to successfully date multiple women. Next, you'll hear what he has to say to men who think he's so 'lucky' to have two women at the same time. Then, find out how to parent when there's one dad and two mommies. Discover all the unexpected ways relationships are harder when there are two women involved. And what advice does Adam have for you if you want to be in a polyamorous 'throuple' yourself?

Co-Host Susan Bratton (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/dirtytalk) Susan Bratton is the queen of sex advice, and she returns for an equally shocking and entertaining discussion on how to be sexually attractive to LOTS of women.

How does your voice play a more important role in attraction than you even think? Oh...and stay tuned for an unbelievably potent superpower you can practice while making love to a woman. Susan always has a way with words when it comes to sex, and in this show she drops simple phrases here and there that could be full episodes unto themselves.

Why do so many guys have a hard time actually liking and enjoying the gender we're sexually attracted to? My co-host Zan Perrion has been enlightening men in the art of loving women for over fifteen years now. That makes him the perfect guest to cover this all-important subject. What is the key trait women have that makes us adore them naturally and completely? How can guys bounce back from bitterness and begin to genuinely adore women again? Are there women out there worthy of our adoration, despite the constant barrage of complaints between the sexes online? Next, Zan describes the nature of his self-described 'journey' of seeking beauty, especially in women. You'll also hear what Zan says to women when he meets them that blows them away in the best way possible. Discover how to revolutionize your energy when talking to women in a way that stops them in their tracks. Find out why men who adore women have no need to wait for them to approach first. After that, we talk about how to frame your conversations with women as a man truly should, with the added bonus of ending flakiness. Next, hear Zan's words for guys who believe women are only good for sex, and are content with a series of one-night-stands. Finally, what happens when men are drawn towards what Zan calls 'The Beloved'...and specifically, what happened with HIM, now that he is married to his dream woman. How will you know when you've found your 'Beloved'? You'll find transcripts, Zan's book on Amazon, the free newsletter and more at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com...including a free 25-minute conversation with me personally. === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === We'll keep the solid, actionable content coming...all for free.

What is 'witty banter', anyway? Professional comedienne Kristen Carney and I tackle that one first, which is a formidable question in and of itself. Is it really just a playful argument? What role does sexual tension play in the process? And what can George Clooney teach us about witty banter? But the fun really starts when my real-time demo catches Kristen by surprise, all 'sparked' by a dorky factoid about wintergreen LifeSavers. So why should we even care about witty banter? Isn't simple rapport enough? What if a woman has RBF...how do you break through? Well, as it turns out there is a simple formula for making women horny with witty banter, and I'll show you why it works (with real in-field examples). You'll even discover the 'sweet spot' of witty banter and how to ensure you get into the flow much more easily. The conversation then turns to how you can sharpen your banter skills with nearly everyone, including your own family. Next, how do the vast majority of guys do the exact opposite of what's attractive right when a perfect opportunity for banter presents itself? And do women who are naturally funny and quick on their feet intimidate most of us as men? Finally, Kristen offers solid, practical pointers to being better at bantering immediately, including the 'conversation tree' and the right mindset and motives to get the conversation going.

My co-host Jim Wolfe is one of the good guys in dating and seduction advice, and the author of the newly-released and auspiciously-titled book The Happiest Man In Hollywood. First, what inspired the title of his book? Next, we discuss the importance of having our own relationships in order before seeking to share relationship advice with others, even though a surprising number of so-called 'experts' do not. Can the mindset of avoiding breakups and divorce at all costs end up causing more harm than good? And what's the proper mindset to have before getting into a relationship at all? Is 'you complete me' a dangerous phrase? If so, what's a better perspective? Do some couples base their entire relationship on cliches? Why is it that so few people have genuinely blissful relationships? Has it actually become part of the 'bro code' to bitch about our WAGs? What does a truly happy relationship look like on a daily basis? Why do healthy couples sometimes bicker even more than unhappy ones? So then, what are the cornerstone beliefs and actions that keep a great woman around? And what does 'falling in love' even mean? Next, we discuss practical ways for men and women to respect each other. Also, how to check your feelings up front to make sure you're getting into a relationship both of you really want. We then talk about the absolute best ways to combat relationship laziness and keep her feelings for you 'fresh'. Finally, we expose perhaps the darkest reason why couples stay together for the wrong reasons...and how to shed light on it, making for much healthier relationships in the future.

There has been a disturbing trend within the last few years. More and more, women everywhere are giving us as men less and less to work with. When texting them, making plans with them and especially online and when using dating apps, women are simply shrugging their shoulders in silence, as if to say 'entertain me'. What is going on there, how did it come to this, and--most of all--what do we as men DO about it? Well, what better way to get down to the bottom of all this than to talk to a woman herself? Enter none other than the Wing Girl, Marni Kinrys. In this fast-paced episode, we break down the whole scenario. Is there malice aforethought going on, or are women simply as innocently clueless as it might appear they are? Marni offers a shocking revelation about her own relationship to her husband that gives a genuine insight into the female mind and what might REALLY be going on here. And for my part, I blatantly reveal how Emily herself gave me virtually NOTHING to go on in HER online profile...and what I did about it. Is it really all about Natural Selection, and we as men had better sink or swim? Or is it true that most women really ARE inherently boring and really could USE some 'entertainment' from us and masculine leadership into a truly exciting life? Could it be as simple as women are simply burned out from all the faux attention? Or has flakiness become a rampant societal habit (with hilarious real-life examples to prove it)? Next, we offer a solid case for probing boldly even when she has gone silent. No matter what the causes are, we have workable solutions so you'll be able to face this not-so-brave new world of non-communication...and connect with women despite it all.

The term 'value' has always been sort of a nebulous one as it relates to what makes us attractive as men. That's why my friend and co-host Tripp Kramer of Tripp Advice fame is returning to the show to help sort it all out. So what do women envision as 'value' in a man? What's the difference between the mere illusion of value and a genuine high-quality man? How much does value have to do with money...or what money represents? Is it about how physically attractive you are? What about purpose? The truth is value can be quite subjective, and we'll give you examples supporting that premise. With that in mind, how can you be a man of value to the kind of woman you want to attract in particular...and do so authentically? What is the meaning of value relative to values, in the plural form? How do you arrive at what your values actually are? How has the societal trend of self-centeredness affected our value as individuals? What is the relationship between charisma and respect with regard to value? The culmination of it all is Tripp's list of five different aspects of value...and a sixth one I added to the mix.

When I first heard about my co-host's gig several years ago, I was skeptical. It sounded gimmicky to talk about 'offline dating'. But now Camille Virginia's vision is proving to have been prescient indeed. So how about it...are people so frustrated with apps, and indeed fed up with faux electronic 'socializing' in general that they're going back to their 'organic' roots of meeting in real life? Or are we so far gone with social technology that we've passed the point of no return? I mean, is the latest generation 'pre-wired' to favor online interaction? In this episode we wonder aloud what online interaction does to our perception of authenticity. And what about being 'mean behind the screen'...how does feeding that habit shape our real-world persona? And meanwhile, in the real world, what should women be doing to allow for easier offline interaction? Next, Camille guarantees your worst nightmare when talking to women will NOT come true...and here's why. How can you easily start offline interactions with women...with no stress and no drama? What does Camille do to get people to put down their smartphones and get back out there socially? AND...to top it all off you'll get the full breakdown of the problematic psychology of dating app usage and exactly why the 'Planet of the Apps' is so destructive to real-life social interaction. By the way, even though I said it's not like men are the Yankees and women are the Dodgers, it SHOULD be like men are the Giants and women are the Angels! (or should it be Pirates and Tigers?)

My co-host for this episode, Matt Javit, recently spent over two years traveling the world with his wife. Besides engaging in lots of 'world barbershop adventures', as he calls them, he discovered a new and deeper level of relationship with his main squeeze. So, what IS a 100/0 relationship, anyway...and what are the key tenets of a powerful, healthy one? Well, for starters it does NOT mean the guy gets run over like some kind of beta 'nice guy'. Not at all. You'll discover what both Matt and I have done right in our respective marriages from the very beginning, making sure the relationship was built on a firm foundation. What's the best way to evaluate whether or not you're going to get along with a woman long-term? How come so many couples can seem to fake their way through marriage? What happens to affect the equation once kids enter the picture? Is there a secret to spending SO much time together as a couple without getting sick of each other? All that, plus barber shops, sumo, basketball and much more in this unique episode.

Both my co-host Diana Mandel and I have a long, sordid history in our 'previous lives' of having broken pickers. With that in the distant past for both of us, we're ready to reveal everything we've got about why so many people seem to end up in the wrong relationship, and how to keep that from happening to you. For starters, we cover the historically-cited reasons why doomed partnerships form to begin with. Sure, our childhood upbringing affects us in this area, but hang on...it's not necessarily for the exact reasons you think. What about preconceived notions men and women have toward each other? How do screwed up priorities affect our relationship choices? Women are clearly more likely to seek out therapy than men. How does that affect who we end up with...and why? Next, you'll get the full deep diver on selecting the right beautiful woman for a long-term relationship. What does a good relationship look like, anyway? And how can you bring about the transformation necessary to start attracting the right woman into our life?

Ever wish you could be a fly on the wall when women are being coached on how to get a guy? Well, wonder no more. My guest is Scott McDougal, a renowned dating coach to women all over the world. The first fact about Scott that will warm your heart is he hasn't sold out the entire male gender in order to cozy up to angry, dateless women. Instead, he gives them the truth they need to succeed. So...what ARE women being taught about men nowadays? Why are women's first date expectations so high? What's up with women feeling more entitled in general? How does being referred to as 'goddesses' and focus on the 'divine female' affect women's interactions with us as men? What part have women played in the demise of dating as we know it? Have women actually been coached to write those vapid, demanding online profiles of theirs? And if women really dislike being objectified for their looks, why do they post so many sexy pictures? What are the most frequent dating and relationship questions women ask? How are women reconciling post-modern sexual freedom while avoiding slut shaming...or do they even care anymore? And why aren't women ever coached about helping men succeed in situations like 'approach anxiety' and seduction...or ARE they? Plus, the rarely-given advice that gets women immediate results with us as men...even as most dating advice women BUY is very different than the dating advice that actually WORKS.

This episode gets an exciting hint of futurism, thanks to my good friend Derek Loudermilk. In his new book Superconnectors, he outlines the top ten ways human beings can and should maximize their value as technology continues to advance. How is the concept of 'work' changing, and what will 'industry' look like in just a decade or two from now? Is technology progressing faster than mere humans can keep up? We'll reveal the overarching 'meta skill' that all of us MUST acquire lest we become dinosaurs. Next, we ask why it was so hard for our parents to figure out how to use the Internet. Discover the traits that we need to thrive in the future...and the shocking factor they all have in common. What are the chances of a robot being able to meaningfully connect with you anytime in the near future? Will they be the 'new kings of comedy'? Are telephone conversations already obsolete? What are the social casualties of technology we haven't even noticed yet? How do you future-proof your ability to effectively relate to others, especially women?

It has been way too long since with did a good, straight-up dating advice episode. That means when Robert Glover of 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' fame dropped me a note telling me he had a new book out on dating, I was all over it. So, what caused Robert to write about dating, anyway? Also find out why being 'Mr. Nice Guy' didn't work, and how getting over it revolutionized his success with women. Discover how both of us defended against descending into bitterness and negativity after our respective divorces, and why. How did Robert get his new wife to approach him first? What does it mean to be a 'better picker and a better ender'? Why victimhood isn't a good look to women. Also, how to transform yourself into a 'social animal' to the delight of women. Discover the one trait you can have that turns women on every bit as much as her getting naked turns you on. Why so many men have the same tired limiting beliefs about women, and how they got there. The real reason why getting involved with women's drama is so damaging. Why men love tomboys but not 'buddies with breasts'. What has Robert discovered about not being 'Mr. Nice Guy' since he first wrote the book in 2003? The difference between leading and controlling. The surprising way men must lead, even though almost all men leave it up to the woman. Also, the difference between chasing and pursuing. Oh, and to clarify...life probably is NOT 'wine and roses' after one gets sober...my bad.

What can you expect from a show co-hosted by a man who wrote The Ape That Understood The Universe? Evolutionary psychology professor and author Steve Stewart-Williams asks, 'What would an alien visitor make of the mating rituals of humans compared to every other species on Earth?' Do human males compete for the attention of females in the same way other creatures do? How does a man get to choose the mate he really wants? Find out the real reason why men tend to want more sexual partners than women do. Has modern birth control and STD prevention caused women to become more promiscuous? Next, get the last work on 'peacocking' from a purely scientific perspective. We talk about why it's good to be a human man instead of a bird, how a heightened sense of reality affects human sexuality, whether or not monogamy is a social construct, and whether or not it's possible to be in love with multiple women. Speaking of love, do animals feel it? How do they process sexual attraction differently? What's up with the unique alliance between mankind and dogs? And how come humans don't always do it 'doggy style'? And why DO we change positions so much, anyway? You'll hear Steve's frank opinions on sex differences, his evolutionary argument for jealousy...and why swingers enjoy 'the lifestyle' anyway. Why are human's the only altruistic, charitable species?

This is going to be one of the most controversial episodes I've ever produced. That's because politics are a hot potato nowadays, and this show inextricably links dating, relating and politics without apology. But regardless of how you vote, if you've EVER found yourself thinking all American women have lost feminine values and don't believe in gender roles anymore, you need to listen to this podcast. Similarly, if you appreciate guests who can passionately explain what they believe and why in detail, you're in for a treat. Enter my co-host Christy Edwards-Lawton, former high-end matchmaker and founder of conservative dating app Righter. While working on the Trump campaign, Christy met a beautiful model in Manhattan who couldn't find true love because she was conservative. Noticing how dating sites and apps such as OKCupid and Bumble were actively discouraging politically conservative users, she saw a clear opportunity to connect millions of right-leaning men and women everywhere. In this episode, Christy and I wonder aloud what ever happened to dating and courtship. Is it obsolete, or do people really want to stop 'hanging out' and develop real connection again? You'll also hear Christy's surprising views on sites and apps like OKCupid and Bumble...and why they are unhappy about Righter, despite openly shunning conservative users. You'll likely stand up and cheer when you hear Christy's take on what women should wear on dates. Are conservative women hotter? And how does a man attract them? Christy also reveals her surprising thoughts regarding electing a female president. Plus, my ideas on Debra Messing's vagina cupcakes and why OKCupid is so politically biased and Match less so, even though they are owned by the same company.

Not all of us are Navy seals, lion tamers or MMA fighters. But nevertheless, my co-host Anthony Simeone believes all of us are heroes, even if we don't realize it yet. In this episode we'll reveal why real, actual heroism isn't necessarily 'larger than life', and it's really a lot simpler than you think. So how about it, what is the biggest nemesis that's keeping most of us from feeling and acting like heroes nowadays? Does what Anthony calls 'modern mythmaking' have anything to do with it? What is it about superhero movies and anti-hero characters that is so compelling to us as men? As crazy as it sounds, are you actually more of a hero if you embrace your 'dark side'? And if so, does that mean there's really a fine line between 'heroes' and 'villains'? Is the opposite of a hero really not a villain at all, but someone else? Let's just say it's complicated. All of this discussion is guaranteed to blow your mind, and that's even before we draw the comparison between heroism and adventure. And wait until you discover why heroism might actually be the epitome of self-help. Of course, we also cover the disarmingly simple art of being a woman's hero--and how to make it a habit.

When you talk about someone being "distinguished", it's means they're set apart from the rest. Harry Mitsidis most certainly fits that definition, as he's widely regarded to be the world's most travelled man. One of my favorite things about Harry is that despite his insane amount of adventurous experiences and being the main man over at travel enthusiast site Nomad Mania, he's remarkably down-to-earth and engaging. He's also a master sociologist, which together with his globetrotting ways makes him the perfect co-host for this discussion of how masculinity and femininity are the same worldwide and how they differ. You'll hear all about Hofstede's theory of comparative culture and what this fascinating research says about the gender profile of entire nations and societies. Prepare to be surprised by which countries have been historically feminine compared to those that are masculine. How do nations like The United States, Japan, Germany and France stack up? Next, listen in as we reveal two surprisingly accurate indicators of cultural femininity and masculinity, respectively. How has Hollywood influenced gender role perceptions on a global scale? And how do major world religions shape cultural trends toward masculinity or femininity?

First, she threw down on the most downloaded episode in the history of this show. Now, she's back to hit the topic du jour with a big, heavy hammer. She's none other that the very sweet, smart and lovely Dr. Jennifer Rhodes...and this show is all about the strong, confident women we love. No 'shrinking violets' with low self-esteem need apply. We hit the ground running as Jennifer shocks the world with her belief that there's no such thing as men being 'intimidated' by men...and you'll want to hear her out. Are strong, confident women necessarily masculine? Jennifer reveals a startling (and original) take on how women have been influenced over the last century or so, making it more difficult for men and women to relate and attract each other. Could it be that our entire culture is operating at a deficit when it comes to personal power and confidence? And has so-called 'mainstream dating advice' done more harm than good in this area? Find out what Jennifer sees as the 'male superpower for relating to women from now on. Then get her thoughts on how good men can attract strong, confident women, with real-life stories to back it all up.

You'll likely go out with a whole lot of women before you meet the one you want to keep around forever. And according to matchmaker Rachel Russo, you absolutely can meet her. She wants to assure you all women aren't crazy, pathologically jealous or gold diggers.

And how about going back to someone from your past? Should couples be alike or do opposites attract? How much do common interests matter? Also discover what your style of relating has to do with long-term success, and how respect enters into all of this. Finally, how much self-work do you really have to do in order to be ready to meet the right woman? By the way, yes...'sex with a c' should have been 'copulation'. Even 'coitus' would have been acceptable, but it's hard to be that quick on one's feet all the time.

Fear not only robs you of your confidence and your masculine presence, it steals your very ability to enjoy life itself. My good friend Justin Stenstrom from Elite Man Magazine knows what it means to conquer fear and anxiety, and he's back to co-host this episode. Listen in for a unique but dead-on accurate assessment of exactly why people freak out so easily nowadays. What is the difference between being fearless and having courage? What type of situations call for the former or for the latter? Discover the fear-based emotional mindset that every one of us experiences, and many of us even entertain...but which is doing us NO good whatsoever. We talk about the historical basis for fearing rejection from women, and the shocking reasons why it should no longer apply. Find out how guys misplace the meaning of courage and fearlessness, often to devastating effect. What is the the all-important difference between being merely tough and macho vs. being genuinely courageous? Finally, we cover why courage can be experienced differently by various men, and how even in our own lives it may not be 'linear' in how we apply it.

The truth is that most of us will break up with the vast majority of people we ever date, right? That doesn't make it any less painful or frustrating, though. Today I'm joined by breakup and divorce expert Brad Browning, who is the founder of Love Learnings Media. Guys tend to enter relationships with a faulty mindset from the beginning, setting themselves up for failure. In this action-packed show we cover the early indications she's thinking about leaving you, how to stop an imminent breakup before it happens, and how to start a relationship off on solid ground to begin with. When a breakup happens, is there usually a slow decline or does she simply leave suddenly? If you're seeing a pattern of not getting second dates or getting broken up with, is it a problem with women in general or do you need to look in the mirror? We also talk about what to do if you think another guy is in the picture, and how failure to be the kind of man she craves contributes to the decline and end of an otherwise perfectly good relationship. Finally, Brad shares his thoughts on how he can tell whether a relationship is going to last or not simply by attending the wedding! By the way, Brad is one FAST talker. Don't even think about trying to listen to this one at 1.5 or double speed!

Krystin Wahl is a vocal essence expert. You would think doing a podcast with a voice expert would be about as unnerving as going on a date with a psychiatrist, but besides having a pleasant voice Krystin is also very sweet and easy-going, which made the show a breeze. Never mind the fact that trying not to trip over our words during the recording was like trying not to think of a polka-dot elephant. Anyway, one of Krystin's favorite topics is how a man can use his voice to be attractive to women. But your voice has tremendous impact on so many other areas of your life also, including confidence, success and power. In this episode we talk about 'voice mail syndrome', why so many of us dislike the sound of our own voice, why women LOVE a man's sexy voice so much, and what the Romans knew about voice energy that so many of us overlook in today's world. We'll also cover how your voice can betray you, causing women to lose attraction FAST. That leads to a fascinating discussion of what I'll call 'The Hollywood Effect'...with examples from movies such as Multiplicity and Pulp Fiction. Krystin also shares how to find your voice's 'proprietary blend' while still being authentically yourself. Finally...can your voice actually keep you from getting 'ghosted'?

When the #MeToo hashtag first started, one of my wife's friends posted on Facebook about it. She said, 'Does this mean 'pound me too'? Because if it does, I'm all for it!' Women loved the post in droves, while nearly every man wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole. And so the dilemma started...we as men with a healthy sex drive may be all about respecting women, but how do we reconcile that with the #MeToo era? Obviously, rapists are bad and should be locked up. But is talking to an attractive woman and/or simply looking at her a crime as well? Well, this time I'm welcoming the first-ever repeat guest onto the show. That's David Shade, the legendary sex expert for men whose tagline is 'give women incredible pleasure'. In this episode we'll offer you crystal clarity about what it means to be a sexually confident--and even dominant--man while still giving women exactly what they want in the bedroom. You may be surprised that this is the very first time David has talked publicly about the #MeToo movement, and you'll find out why that is (it's not because he's a bad guy). We'll cover the difference between being dominant and being a controlling jerk, why what women really crave in the bedroom is so counter-intuitive to most men, the significance of seduction to women, what to do if you consistently encounter women who don't want to have sex, and much more.

My co-host, Joe Bovino, is a 5x number one bestseller on Amazon and a health and fitness coach. But he's also the author of some of the most entertaining yet controversial books on women in recent years, such as The Field Guide To Chicks and Chicaspotting. As such, Joe has had to deal with easily offended women on a scale few other men have. In this show, you'll find out what Joe learned from attempting to take a conciliatory tone with angry Feminists. You'll also discover how people who are easily offended often end up preying upon their own alleged allies, and how trends have changed in that regard over the past few decades. So, what mindset drives someone to become offended so easily? Also, discover the one trait EVERY easily offended person invariably lacks. We'll reveal the specific way we as men in particular are brainwashed by easily offended people...and it's only natural. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, we'll wrap up by talking about how to handle it when a woman picks a fight with you, and discussing Joe's new book The Sugar Belly Secret.

There has not been a show with 'flirting' in the title since episode 27. Granted, that could be because practically every show I do with a female guest is a flirt show, and I'll be the first to admit that on the surface it seems a show like this would be more fun with a woman as co-host. BUT...we as guys also need to talk about this among ourselves in a matter-of-fact environment, especially since it's arguably not quite as gentlemanly to talk about all of our flirt stories with a woman. So I invited fellow dating coach Tony Depp to co-host this round with me, first defining what flirting actually IS, and then hashing out the mindset and practices that are most effective. You'll find out why we can get women we're not interested in to love us, but blow it when we are attracted to them. Discover the mindset 95% of men have that renders it nearly impossible to even talk to the women they really want. Know the truth about how women really process what we call 'approach anxiety'. We reveal the basic understanding about men and women that makes it much easier to flirt. What is 'The Dial', and why are most guys completely oblivious to it? How do you identify different personality types in women and adjust your flirting style accordingly? What about calibrating your approach in different types of social scenarios? We reveal the #1 differentiator between men who get women and men who don't, before closing out with how you can make flirting a lifestyle.

Jarrod Haning is a true Renaissance man. But most importantly to this episode, he is a performance coach and devoted advocate of the Nobel-nominated Mind Scan process. He first captured my attention by making the incendiary claim that the less you work, the more prosperous and successful you'll be. Indeed, his clients typically double their income by working FEWER hours. Right...but what does all that mean to your relationships with women? Well, in this show we cover Jarrod's belief that if you're constantly hitting hurdles, it's likely that you are doing what you think you should do. But even though what you're doing makes sense to you, your breakthrough will certainly NOT...and he'll reveal why that is. Then, we talk about how to find your actual blind spots, and how to even know if you have them or not. Why do we tend to keep hitting the same roadblocks over and over again? What do you do when you simply don't have the time or the money to do what it takes to get out of your rut? Why do guys buy all the dating books and courses, but still don't get anywhere? Jarrod also shares the very FIRST thing you should do every day, and throws down some 'tough love' on how to tweak your mindset to start getting what you really want. The Ten-Plus coaching program has empowered men all over the world to get the women they really want.

As co-founder of The Handel Group, my co-host Lauren Zander has coached major corporations and famous celebrities on the art of success. But it's her iconoclastic, if not downright incendiary thoughts on finding one's own truth and where it comes from that take center stage in this fast-paced episode. Look for one of the most spirited conversations in quite a while on everything from 'personal pollution' to owning your decisions and your destiny--all spoken in a way you've surely never heard before. We discuss the weird ramifications of the entire world speaking out on social media, why lying to oneself is unquestionably the most dangerous lie possible, and what Lauren calls 'The Barbie Doll Puppet Show'. You'll also get Lauren's unique take on what true love is, and why most people gladly lie to themselves about even that. But perhaps the most shocking part of the whole show is when Lauren puts a completely new twist on how the sins of the parents are visited upon the children. Also find out what epigenetics are and how they deeply affect your innermost thoughts and secrets.

Co-Host Emily McKay (http://www.gettogetherstaytogether.com) It took a whopping 134 episodes, but my wife Emily is finally the co-host. That's because we just finished recording the OPPOSITE conversation on How Men Talk About Women When They're Not Around. You can find that as episode 54 of our other show, X & Y On The Fly. But in THIS action-packed conversation, you'll hear why women LOVE to talk about their husbands and boyfriends...and if there are any limits to what is said out loud. How do women talk about sex differently when men aren't around? How do they talk about men they've just broken up with...or gone on a first date with...or just had sex with? What goes on at those clandestine sex toy parties? Do women talk about their fantasies more openly around other women? Do they get frisky with each other in private like we always fantasize about? How do women talk among themselves about a guy they like? What does a guy do that warrants women talking about him for an ENTIRE work day on the job together? How do women who are 'catty' with each other weave us as men into the conversation? How do women strategize with each other to get us to talk to them? What's up with women's matchmaking tendencies? How do women daydream with each other about being approached vs. what sounds creepy to them? What about how they talk about buff, hot guys vs. men who attractive to them in more subjective ways? Get examples of what women dare not talk about in front of men EVER, the unexpected truth about 'man bashing' sessions, and even how women 'pep talk' each other before dates (and it's NOT what you might think).

Co-Host Mike Goldstein (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/goldstein) New York City's own EZ Dating Coach Mike Goldstein joins me for a classic discussion between two 'dudebros' who obviously never wear suits anymore. So, how is it we can run a show about what women want without any women as guests? I mean, why not just ASK them? Well, the answer is simple...the entertainment value is WAY higher when you have two Y chromosomes attempting to sort it all out. And rest assured we cover it all. What actually 'impresses' women? Why do women say they want a man who 'aggressively goes after what he wants' and 'takes them' when being aggressive is obviously heinous? We also talk about ways most guys fundamentally misunderstand women, resulting in men all over the world talking themselves out of the bedroom. Are women really more about masculinity these days than femininity? And do all women really want marriage, babies and a big house? How much do women care about money...and your car? What do high-income, high-status women want? Is it any different from what other women want? Also, what to do if you want women to LINE UP to go out with you...with objective proof-of-concept. Finally, just to ensure a well-rounded conversation we talk briefly about what women definitely DON'T want.

Most guys think that once you've blown your load, that's it. At best, you'll need a 'recovery period' to recharge before going at it again.

Let's just say that not only can you come back for a second round as quickly as you'd like, you can take your orgasm game to a whole new level.

What's more, Mariah will show you how to become as in-tune with your body as women are...and why you should care. Discover simple exercises you can do to train your body to feel more intense pleasure, be more orgasmic and become multi-orgasmic.

Co-Host Marc Mawhinney (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/jungle) The oldest running joke in the world is about how men refuse to stop and ask for directions. There's a strong element of truth to that. But wait a minute though, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Can not asking for directions be a blessing as well as a curse? Well, my co-host Marc Mawhinney is a renowned 'coach of coaches', and he has some surprising thoughts on this whole subject. Listen to his take on how men and women are different when it comes to reaching out for help. Then, hear from both of us about how not seeking badly needed help cost us in our respective businesses. But on the other hand, is entrepreneurial success really about building a whole team around you rather than being a 'Lone Ranger'? Outside of business, can't our social lives, sanity and even our physical health suffer when we stubbornly refuse help from anyone else? The raw truth is real men get help when they need it, not vice-versa. But even when traumatic situations or personal embarrassment make asking for help even rougher, you can also go TOO far. What then, is the difference between being TOO vulnerable and getting the help you need the right way? Stay tuned as well for our outrageous and original takes on 'mansplaining', along with a curious insider look at the mindset of public figures before AND after they ask for and get the help they need in life.

Given that my co-host is the author of a wildly-popular book called The Like Switch, you may have a mental picture of him as that life-of-the-party kind of guy with boundless energy. But a laid-back yet fearless, straight-shooting demeanor is just the first surprise Jack Schafer has in store for you. You see, before he became a college professor and started writing books about how to inspire people to like you and want more of you, Jack was an FBI agent specializing in behavior analysis and recruiting spies. This gives him a unique perspective on how to read people's non-verbal cues, while also artfully imparting how to improve what he calls your 'Likeability Quotient'. Jack will show you how to literally read people's lips, but not in the way you might be guessing. He'll also reveal a technique that makes people like you one-hundred percent of the time. Jack also defines such fascinating concepts as friend or foe signals, the urban scowl, and his four-step friendship formula. Discover the power of patience in building friendships, along with how to turn up or turn down the intensity of a relationship. Jack's take on kino escalation and the power of 'misattribution' are sure to surprise you...and stay tuned until the very end for a no-holds barred throwdown on what the hell is wrong with people on social media nowadays, and what we can to to improve the tone and bring civility back to online interactions.

Co-Host Orlando Owen (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/orlando) My co-host for this episode has made a multi-million dollar fortune and lost it...all before ultimately figuring out what it means to be a man who takes responsibility. There's that word...responsibility. It's what all of our parents used to harp on us about constantly in our teenage years, yet it's also exactly what nearly everyone on Twitter sorely lacks nowadays. But responsibility truly is a linchpin to maximizing your masculine power, and foolishly ignoring it at your own peril truncates your development as a man. In this show Orlando and I talk about the real-world difference between spoiled brats and kids who have to face adversity, and yet society has made lack of responsibility feel almost normal these days. We discuss how and why so many people easily become brainwashed 'sheeple' these days, and why most men ultimately go out 'not with a bang but a whimper'. Find out what 'Generation Selfie' is missing out on, and the truly simple way to reclaim it. Hear why going broke was the best thing that ever happened to Owen and how fear is intimately related to responsibility. How did we get to the point where even saying the word 'entitlement' is a 'microaggression' to those with an entitlement mentality? I mean, in a post-modern world with no real struggles, is responsibility even relevant anymore? I'll just say this...wait until you hear my semi-serious take on how another country really COULD infiltrate the United States.

He may go by the title 'The Angry Therapist', but these days John Kim is anything but. His approach to self-help is so disarmingly obvious it's revolutionary...distilling the basics so that being a better man becomes utterly uncomplicated. John has broken the mold when it comes to therapy, and his vision of vulnerability in particular has made a real, tangible difference in the lives of many. In this inspiring episode we talk about the tools and motivation men need to be better. Discover the most unexpected life-transforming benefit of being vulnerable. How lack of authenticity costs men dearly, even though most of us don't even realize it. Find out how being miserable fueled John's passion and drive for more in life. Why is self-help 'sometimes more about a reunion than anything else'? What does John mean when he says, 'The universe has put me into a Trojan horse'? We talk about the joys (and dangers) every Dad faces in sharing his meaning and passion with his kids. Finally, we discuss television, Twitter and 'The Legions of the Unjazzed'...plus, how to feel more 'alive'. Remember always...'Never exchange the truth for membership'.

Why is there so little information out there to empower real men who are in long-term relationships and raising kids? Well, Bryan Ward is the head of Third Way Man and he's part of the solution to this post-modern problem. In his opinion, 'only the wildest men marry' and his life purpose is to defeat the almost pandemic pattern of guys getting wussified in their long-term relationships. You'll be amazed as he talks about how even a decent, well-meaning man's impulse to pacify the woman in his life often leads to disaster. Find out what 'The Peacetime Paradox' is, and how men tend to navigate fatherhood and our relationships with women despite it. We cover the very real problem of misplaced aggression, even as Bryan suggests 'we had better have the ability to rip limbs out on the rare occasion that's called for'. Discover how both Bryan and I are raising our sons to be badasses, even in a post-modern world where few are. How can you be a man who attracts the woman you want and KEEP her attracted long-term? Also, why we can't count on women to solve men's problems, being a 'creator rather than a consumer' and Bryan's shocking take on how to prepare ourselves for being the head of a family.

My co-host for this episode is originally from Moscow and has the accent to match. She's a dating coach for women who recently wrote an article called '5 Ways To Get A Man To Do What You Want'. When I first found the article I was expecting something very different than what it was really about...at least until I saw who the author was. Polina absolutely adores men, and teaches women all over the world how to charm us in a way that makes us want to be their heroes. Listen in as Polina outlines her five secrets for women on how to absolutely mesmerize us as men. Not only will you agree that you'd likely do anything for a woman who knows and practices these secrets, you're going to wonder aloud where the hell they've all been hiding lately. But rest assured...as much as Polina's going to compel you to consider Russian mail-order bride services, that's still a BAD idea in the long run. There are amazing women who 'get it' all over the world, including right there where you live. After all the talk about intrigue, attraction and even celebration, it just might occur to you that Polina is talking about the women's version of everything I reveal to YOU guys in my Female Persuasion program. But wait a minute...why is it American men LOVE Russian women, but Russian men have such a hard time with women whenever they come to America? Polina has a brilliant answer for that one, too.

Co-Host Elliott Katz (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/katz) No kidding...my co-host Elliot Katz and I had to work pretty hard to come up with a topic for this show. That's because he and I think so much alike that probably his first half-dozen ideas were quite literally the very cornerstones of everything we've done here at X & Y Communications for a dozen years. But using the previous episode on happiness as a jumping-off point, we decided to talk about happy women...and more specifically, what it takes to MAKE them happy. After all, as the adage goes, 'if mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy'. Wait, is that even true? And how come men typically try to do everything they can to make their woman happy, yet she still isn't? What do you do when you do EVERYTHING for her, and she still wants MORE, MORE, MORE? Far too many men willingly emasculate themselves in a relationship, complain about it, and then are surprised when the woman respects them even less. We cover why women 'test' men, and how to make it a non-issue. Why being a 'people pleaser' is a lose/lose, and how to stop it. The excuses men readily give for not being the man women want. How our own culture of friendship with other men perpetuates the core problem of women not respecting us as men. We also reveal the secret to getting her to stop nagging, and how to buy yourself brand new golf clubs and have her love you for it. Talk to me directly for 25 minutes.

My guest co-host has figured out the three cornerstones to happiness...and I think he's on to something significant. We define them up front, followed by ways to look inwardly for happiness despite the pull of external influences and even external energies. Then we explain why the obstacles from the past seem to keep haunting us, and how to finally hurdle over them. Next, we talk about the obvious and not-so-obvious ways our 'advanced' post-modern culture is actually contributing to our personal and collective unhappiness. How can your self-perceived weaknesses actually become touchstones of personal fulfillment and happiness? What happens inside our minds when we compare ourselves to others? Plus, discover the most effective antidote to destructive envy and jealousy. Next, hear about the almost supernatural connection between love and happiness...even if love doesn't exactly turn out the way you wanted it to. Does speed kill happiness? Get the surprising answer. Find out how happy people deal with adversity...and their mindset is the exact opposite of most people's. Get the story on how FOMO steals happiness, but staying in the 'flow' grants it.

You'd think after twelve years of running a shop called X & Y Communications I'd have done a show on communication by now. Well, that all changes right now thanks to my new friend and fellow 'old bull on the hill' Robert Manni from The Guy's Guys" Guide To Love. Plan on hearing a dogpile of wisdom we just didn't have in our twenties, including my 'mansplaining' is a thing (and a brilliant response to it), why women want a man who 'listens', and the basic reasons why men and women have been missing each other for thousands of years. We'll also reveal the weird paradox between women who are leaders in their daily lives and the relationships they have with their significant others. We also talk about why women aren't so quick to bring their ideas to the table when talking to men...and it's NOT why you think. Plus, we reveal the truth about women's 'tests', along with how to deal with the new anti-male narrative while living your truth. Why do so many people stay in bad relationships with horrible miscommunication patterns? What should you do when women start hammering you with probing questions on first dates? Plus, lessons from conversations with women that actually transfer over into social interactions with other men and even business dealings. Finally, as a special bonus you'll discover what Robert did when he was finally ready to get married. The Mountain Top Summit Facebook group is becoming THE place for high-value men of character to talk about what matters in today's world.

Co-Host Morten Hake (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/morten) Know this...my main man Morten Hake is back in the saddle again, after having ascended to great heights only to come crashing down before he even realized what happened. So what's his story? How did he find his way back after hitting such a low point? Well, in this episode he spills all the secrets, starting with a brilliant tactic he learned from one of his closest mentors. He also reveals the subtle but dangerous traps he fell into that caused him to squander his early success. Then we talk about why we run away from our own truth, the keys to feeling more ALIVE and passionate, and what finally caused Morten to stop running from failure and face it head-on. We also cover the weird 'on again, off again' dynamic on Facebook that few people ever notice, plus the insidious enemies to resilience and reaching our personal potential. Then we discuss how to dig out from under shame and doubt, and the specific ways Morten has bounced back...including his podcast, YouTube exploits and an interest in cryptocurrency. Finally, Morten shares specific words of encouragement to any guy who's at his low point right now, including the most clearly-defined element of happiness and how to find it.

Co-Host Renee Piane (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/renee) This seems like a superficial, if not downright crass topic for a show, doesn't it? It sounds so, well...transactional. But when you really think about it, it's exactly what everyone who is successful with MOTOS does, just like what everyone who is successful in business does. After all, marketing is really all about promoting one's 'brand' as positive, intriguing and alluring. Simply put, you have to make others want what you've got. My long-time friend Renee Piane has been in the personal marketing business since 1992. In this episode you'll hear about what Renee calls 'Prince Training', which works even if you're not rich, royal and/or classically good looking. You'll also get Renee's Hollywood-insider perspective on why there's such mass hysteria surrounding sexual harassment and assault at this very moment in time. Discover the central most important part of establishing positive vibes with women, along with what's involved in branding yourself for dating success that goes WAY beyond style and how you look. I also ask why it seems women are so much better at branding themselves as sexy and datable than most men are. Have you joined the Mountain Top Summit Facebook group? If not, you're missing out.

Over time I've learned--sometimes the hard way--that no matter how cool you are or how cool the stuff you do is, there's always someone who's cooler than you and doing cooler stuff. But one of the great ironies in this life is the sooner you realize that and "get over yourself", suddenly you're infinitely cooler to everyone else...along with all the stuff you do. Given this simple (but not easy) social principle, it follows logically that being an arrogant douchebag, when taken to an extreme, is ultimately one of the loneliest existences imaginable. This is an all-important life lesson that too many of us learn far too late in our adult lives, if we ever learn it at all. That's why I want you to meet Jeff Shapiro. Fair warning: Your first impression of him will likely be that he's a bigger badass than you and I put together. I found out about Jeff because he kept turning up as a "brand ambassador" for some of my favorite adventure gear companies, including Keen and Kavu. And that's no wonder. Dude is not only a world-class hang glider and paraglider, he's also a champion ultra-distance runner, competitive rock climber, avid falconer, experienced base jumper and yes...a wingsuit pilot. But here's the thing. He's also a down-to-earth guy who's incredibly easy to like. As it turns out, he's much more curious about you and what you're up to than he is interested in re-hashing his own exploits. So you can imagine his response when I, having figured out who the hell he really was, suggested talking less about his badassery in this show and more about the idea of "getting over oneself". He was stoked. It made for one ridiculously impactful show. Have you joined the Mountain Top Summit Facebook group? If not, you're missing out.

What I appreciate about my long-time friend and female dating and relationship coach Suzanne Oshima is how level-headed her advice is. That made her the perfect co-host for this particular episode, where we uncover the ways approaching women and relating to them has evolved over the last decade. Suzanne starts off by offering her take on the top two things women want in a man, then gives her startlingly up-front--and encouraging--take on how most women view the #MeToo movement. We also talk about the definition of what it means to be charming, why average guys often get amazingly sexy women and the effect of swiping and social media. Are you really damned if you do and damned if you don't when it comes to talking to women nowadays? Is the 'Mike Pence Rule' a solid strategy, or is our own faulty self-perception actually getting in the way? Well, get ready...because I eventually drop a bomb on this entire discussion, exposing the truth that's been hiding in plain sight, despite the shroud of politics. With that, I reveal the mere two elements that have to be present in order to inspire a woman to go out with you. Also, you'll get the latest report from my in-field sessions with guys, which really underscores my take on the whole social situation nowadays with women.

How have we gone over ten years without covering this topic? Dating and relationship coach Benjamin Ritter of Live For Yourself Consulting joins me to talk about what cheating is, people who cheat and why they do it. We reveal the huge mistake people make when beginning a relationship that practically dooms them to cheating accusations in the future. I also share the shocking conversation I had with Emily that has cheat-proofed our relationship for nearly 12 years and counting. We talk about whether or not to tell your significant other if and when cheating happens. Does having sex with someone else really have to mean a horrible, cataclysmic end to the relationship? Meanwhile, is distaste for the thought of someone else having sex with your partner simply a social construct...or even a limiting belief? Plus, hilarious observations about how Facebook actually compels people to cheat. Finally, we'll show you how to know if she's been cheating and a genius way to confront her about it. My first all-new program in over three years has now been released. It's called 'Invincible', and it's all about making you a bolder, more confident and more dominant man in the best way possible.

Okay, here it is... Even though there are more high-profile men being outed as sexual assailants every day, that doesn't necessarily mean YOU'RE a monster simply for being male and attracted to women. Yet more guys than ever before are at a total loss as to how to even TALK to women, let alone express romantic interest. And an even more profound challenge seems to be even finding a woman who still loves, adores and appreciates a real man...especially US. Meanwhile, the greatest tragedy of all is it seems the most significant collateral damage to angry 3rd-wave Feminism has been femininity itself. Well, for this show I'm joined by none other than Relationship Theory host and Quest Nutrition co-founder Lisa Bilyeu, who was genuinely excited to discuss how we as men can find a strong, empowered yet FEMININE woman who is all about honoring your masculinity. If you've found yourself feeling a bit jaded by all the gender politics swirling around in today's world, you'll find Lisa's message--and her whole persona, really--to be a breath of fresh air. This episode is guaranteed to energize you to live your truth as a man, even as you're meeting women and getting to know them. My first all-new program in over three years has now been released.

When you think of 'futurism' your first thoughts are probably of Ray Kurzweil, Elon Musk and talk of 'The Singularity'...when machines will become smarter than humans. All that techie stuff is ridiculously cool and all, but have you ever noticed how little speculation there is out there about the future of sex, dating and relationships? Well, after a bit of going back and forth in one of my mastermind groups for relationship coach types, I discovered my friend Jason Silver was pretty much the only guy thinking about these ideas as much as I was. So I invited him on the show for a uniquely mind-blowing discussion about men, women, sexbots, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and much more. We kick it all off by thinking about the relatively near-term future of social media and male/female relationships. But where it all gets completely out of hand is when we start considering the next hundred or two hundred years and beyond. Basically, Jason and I go back and forth rapid-fire trading face-melting ideas of practically inconceivable consequence to mankind. Prepare to be left in need of an oxygen mask and/or a few shots of tequila by the time this one's done. ...And mamas don't let your babies grow up to be robots.

Co-Host Rich Gosse (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/trump) First of all, let's clarify something important: This show is NOT about politics, and this episode is no exception. Rich Gosse is head of the world's largest singles group and the author of The Donald Trump Syndrome: Why Women Choose The Wrong Men To Love. What got my attention most about this guy is he's actually hosting mixer parties in California for women who can't stand Donald Trump. So who are the guys he's inviting? Well, get this... Rich's hypothesis is that women SAY they want a man who's older, taller, richer, better educated and more 'alpha'. But since The Donald represents all of those traits and women still seem to abhor him, why not introduce these ladies to men who are younger, shorter, poorer, less-educated and incredibly shy? If you're like me, you've GOT to be wondering how well these parties have been going. Let's just say Rich swears they're incredibly successful for everyone involved. Does this mean the whole paradigm of what women are attracted to really is changing, or is there something deeper and perhaps more subtle involved here? As you may guess, you're in for one of the most spirited debates ever recorded in this history of this show, taking twists and turns nobody saw coming.

This time I'm joined by a true legend in the world of men's dating advice, none other than Clifford Lee. His claim to fame, of course, is the notorious Cliff's List, which started out as a cornerstone of the 'underground' pickup artist movement back in the early '00s and has evolved with the times to remain one of the top men's portals. As such, there's no better guy to talk about how men's dating and seduction advice is different nowadays than it used to be. But now that the PUA movement is dead and gone, it's not like men have stopped needing to get better with women. So now what? Can there be another group of men as united in the cause of excellence with women as the Seduction Community was? The truth is that because of changes in the socio-political climate, more men are looking for 'natural' ways to meet women without 'running game' or anything else that would appear sleazy. Is that an overreaction, or simply a much-needed mindset correction? How have social media and dating apps contributed to the transformation of how men consume dating advice? Tune in for the perhaps shocking but disarmingly reasonable and practical solution both Cliff and I reach together. And absolutely check out Cliff's List once you're finished listening to this fine episode. Meanwhile, PUA forums may be a thing of the past but you can (and should) join The Mountain Top Summit on Facebook, where you'll find a solid group of high-character men like yourself: http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/facebook === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === We'll keep the solid, actionable content coming...all for free.

Lots of couples move in with each other these days, and there are more reasons why than you might think. My special guest Damona Hoffman spends as much time thinking about 'cohabitation psychology' as anyone. After all, she's the resident dating expert on the new FYI Network show A Question Of Love, featuring three couples about to embark on the adventure of living together. We talk about the hurdles couples have to overcome, the three discussions that MUST take place before moving in together and our three best keys to living with a significant other without tearing each other apart. Does the sex get better...or worse? What about cross-cultural misunderstandings and misguided expectations? Should you sign a 'pre-hab'? On top of all else, we rant about how smartphones and online dating have changed people's expectations and brought about unexpected relationship challenges. If you haven't yet joined the new Mountain Top Summit Facebook group, it has over 300 members and is rockin'.
