Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We as men are primally wired to seek purpose and meaning in life. But for better or worse, most of us are also hard-wired in another way that blocks us from finding it. It doesn't have to be that way, though. In this brief episode I'll reveal a whole new, out-of-the-box way of thinking about purpose that will not only supercharge your ability to find purpose, but will most likely greatly increase your fulfillment in whatever you accomplish and however you make the world a better place. Best of all, it's an easier and less stressful an approach to it all.

Co-Host Matt Cook (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/mattcook) I know...the title of this episode completely flips the expected script, doesn't it? Well, that's purely intentional. My returning guest Matt Cook has been up to some very interesting research on how our body chemistry as men can either make or break our attractiveness to women. He kicks off the show by revealing what he has been studying lately. For example, he has been amazed by how much men can increase their results with women as well as their positive feelings toward their significant other just by making a few simple tweaks that don't involve meds, supplements, dietary changes or anything like that. How can you keep your relationship with a woman from feeling stale or boring? And what's more, how does accomplishing that mission actually contribute to you becoming a wealthier man? How should your 'sexual schedule' be adjusted if you take certain maintenance meds? How do we physically 'reset' ourselves into the mode of giving women sexual pleasure rather than simply wanting to 'get off'? (No...it's not the obvious answer!) And here's a good one...how can we as men have full-body orgasms the way we've been told women do? And what is the weird problem that happens in our relationship when we ejaculate to porn too often? (Hint: It's not what you think.) And how can breakups with women actually be more equitable and drama-free...even though the sex was amazing? And finally, how can we get our significant other on board with the changes in our sex life Matt is suggesting?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Last week I described how most men go about 'getting physical' with women from an inherently flawed mindset. But far be it from me to point out problems without offering solutions. So as promised, in this brief six-minute episode I'll show you the nearly foolproof way to inspire women to be sexually interested in you. Sure, it involves some out-of-the-box thinking, but that only means YOU will have the clear advantage with women from now on over most other guys.

Co-Host Ed Nissen (https://mountaintoppoddast.com/nissen) Despite so many accusations of toxic masculinity out there, deep down every man of character out there wants to be a hero...especially in his relationship with the right woman. This is not to be confused with being a 'simp' or some kind of pushover. This also isn't another 'Hero's Journey' talk, either. We're talking about real, actual heroism here...as the woman in your life sees it. My guest is psychotherapist and author Ed Nissin, who has thought enough about this subject that he actually wrote a book called Song Of The Hero. For starters, listen for the warning signs as Ed describes what was going on--or not going on--in his own relationship with his wife, inspiring him to make changes. What should we do when being a leader, provider and protector is met with resistance by the woman in our life? Should we just back off? Well, the good news is if you're actually trying to be a hero, you're probably already on the right track...or at least not being seen as a villain (not by sane women, right?) The next step is to understand women's behavior patterns with regard to all of this, which Ed explains how to do. How does our evolution since caveman days actually make being a hero far more complex and difficult? And what's the real world difference between simply protecting and providing and being her hero? Truly an important discussion for any man who wants a successful relationship with a high-quality woman.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === I get calls all the time from guys who are trying to get women to have sex with them, but it's just not happening. I can hear the frustration in their voices. Well, almost every time a very specific issue is affecting their success. In this short episode, I'll not only define what it is, I'll show you exactly why it doesn't work. How do I know? Because it definitely doesn't work when women try the same thing with us as men. And not to worry...in next week's SFTS, I'll show you what TO do instead.

Co-Host Raiford Palmer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/raif) The term 'break-up' itself inherently implies damage, doesn't it? But just because you're splitting up with a woman--or even heading into a painful divorce--it doesn't mean bitterness and hate has to rule the day, or that you have to hand over all of your hard earned assets to the family law profession. My guest Raiford Palmer from STG Divorce Law in Chicago, and author of the bestseller I Just Want This Done is yet another good, solid divorce law veteran who works for his clients from a position of ethics and accountability. So, what are the warning signs that a relationship is beyond repair? And what's the very first thing any man should do when he feels a divorce is imminent? How exactly does our masculine instinct to provide and protect work against us when a relationship is failing? When the divorce actually happens, should you litigate or mediate? What are the very real, and sometimes 'hidden' complications of children being caught up in the divorce? What does Raif tell people when they call him up, tell him their story and ask him whether or not they should divorce their spouse? (His answer will surprise you.) What is the value of getting an actual divorce coach, as opposed to depending on your attorney for anything other than legal support? And what is the single most costly mistake (literally) that men tend to make when sitting across the table from their soon-to-be-ex-spouse? Overall, a great conversation that will serve as a good insurance policy against losing your shirt in family law court, even if you're not currently going through that ordeal.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You can always count on me to bring you the latest warnings on how to spot fake profiles on dating sites, apps and social media. What's more, I stay on top of the latest trends to keep you from getting scammed. Very recently, the scammers have found two brand new ways to work their devious plots...and they're both nothing short of shocking. The first completely flips the script on one of the most common ways to spot online dating shenanigans. But the second one...man, this isn't only perhaps the most brazen stunt ever, it may signal the most cynical 'end game' of hookup culture itself. Seriously, it's so crazy you may think I'm joking...but I most certainly am not.

Co-Host Dana Shergill (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dana) The word 'aggression' is a loaded one, isn't it? It sounds inherently violent, so when combined with the context of sexuality, we as men tend to avoid even thinking about it like the plague. But what if my returning guest, kinky wellness coach Dana Shergill told you that men tend to have a LOT harder a time with the concept than women do? Well, any man who has ever been curious enough to crack one of those romance novels for women probably has already figured out that women fantasize in genuinely aggressive ways most of us as men would never guess. That's why this episode is not only all-important, but also--perhaps unexpectedly--a whole lot of fun. Dana explains how 'aggression' and 'fun' absolutely do peacefully coexist in the naughty little minds of women. Next, she offers a fascinating perspective on women's relationship with pain...and how different it is from men. If this conversation is sounding dangerous already, that's just the warm-up. Dana continues, explaining how there are plenty of areas in life where aggression is not only okay, but celebrated...and we need to start thinking about sex in that light. After all, she says, women already do...and they can take it. So why exactly is the bedroom the preferred venue for 'playing rough'? And with that in mind...what are the guardrails? And what are some clear-cut examples of the kind of sexual aggression women LOVE in the context of a safe place to play in? And finally, the question you've all been waiting for...why is mixed wrestling porn so hot?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's pure coincidence that I'm releasing this on election day here in the United States. Trust me, this is completely apolitical (perhaps to the disappointment of some of you). Yes, we're talking about women of course. And in this brief episode I'm blowing the lid off the myths the PUA movement perpetrated about hot babes at clubs, their little black dresses, their snobby attitudes and especially their 'rejection mechanism'. How can you grab a pair and approach, talk to and make plans with women more easily than you ever have in the past? Well...start with THIS ridiculously amazing secret, which actually is NO secret to single dads out there (right fellas?).

Co-Host Jim Wolfe (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wolfe) The term 'propaganda' in and of itself is both sensational and polarizing. Most of us have a definition of it in our heads, but is it truly accurate? And is the political realm really the only place we are subject to it? My returning guest Jim Wolfe and I are both firmly of the opinion that not only dating but also male/female relationships in particular are being propagandized increasingly often in today's world. So first off, what really IS the proper definition of 'propaganda'? What brand of it is going on here in the 'free world'? And most pertinent of all to this particular conversation, how HAS dating and relating to women become propagandized in recent years? Listen in as Jim introduces three types of filters we can use to identify and sort out 'dating propaganda'. Is there relation-prop in our movies, and even our music? Why is misinformation so effective at keeping men and women apart, when our own primal instincts are still very much intact? After all, the areas where we as men in particular are being propagandized are pretty obvious, aren't they? So what, then, are we as men to do? Should we react to being propagandized in a certain way? Should we double-down rather than get defensive about how we as men are being vilified in the post-modern world? Or is there a better way to respond, that involves more real, actual male leadership? What is the ultimate, virtually foolproof 'propaganda buster'...especially as it pertains to women and dating?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As we all noticed, and I've talked about on this show, it's as if everyone let their social muscles atrophy during COVID. But now it's been way too long since the lockdowns ended for anyone who wants to be social to not be out there getting after it. But nevertheless, lots of us as men are still, well...alone. And despite what we may be telling ourselves, we're flat-out starving. And worse...it's almost as if we've intentionally decided to starve ourselves. Why is that going on? How did we get here? And most of all, what are we going to do about it? After all, whether we realize it or not, plenty of good, decent women are out there starving as well...and they're waiting for us to LEAD.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching) Okay, I'm going to admit right up front that Emily and I obviously believe relationships are worth getting into, since we've shared a great one together for almost 19 years. But we also completely get that YOU might not be like US. In this episode we acknowledge all the legit reasons why perfectly good, decent and sane people might just swear off getting into any kind of relationship at all with MOTOS, let alone long-term ones. For starters, we talk about how this isn't our grandparents' world anymore and how that affects people's perspectives on relationships. How can either a man OR a woman have a valid point in this context? Even though it may seem sad to think that people are out there completely giving up on finding the relationship they actually want, what if there are folks who really do NOT want that in their lives...and they're simply saying 'no' to societal pressure to conform? Does that societal pressure even exist anymore, by the way? Even if you ARE relationship minded, is it okay to think these thoughts? And well, what are the good reasons to get into a relationship? And why stay in one if it's going poorly? On a related note, is arguing and bickering a sign the relationship's in trouble...or could it be the exact opposite? Well, the easy answer (demanding more elaboration, which we offer) is 'it depends'. Stay tuned as we make the case for getting everything off your chest as perhaps the healthiest sign of all that the relationship is a healthy one. It's just a shame that too many couples never even realize that level of intimacy is open to them.

==== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Way too many of us as men put way too much pressure on ourselves to be absolutely perfect with women. The irrational fear is that if we mess up even ONCE, women will dump us for some other, apparently more 'perfect' guy. Well, here's the thing. No matter how good you are--even at a world-class level--you're never, ever going to get EVERYTHING right. And yes, women are generally more forgiving than you think...after all, they screw up too. Here's the secret of how men who are at the top of their game recover from even unforced errors, bounce right back and WIN.

Co-Host Lisa Concepcion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lovequest) My first-time guest today is my new friend Lisa Concepcion of Love Quest Coaching in Sarasota, FL. First of all, yes...she made it through Milton unscathed, which I was glad to hear. But just hours before the hurricane hit, she joined us for a head-on conversation about what's up with women socially nowadays, and WHERE ARE THEY? After all, you guys hammer me constantly for new and effective ways to find women AND meet them, and Lisa is the perfect one to have that all-important conversation with. Right up front, Lisa let's us know she's crystal-clear on how difficult it is for us as men out there, no thanks to what she calls a 'cocktail' of issues and concerns that complicate finding, meeting and being social with MOTOs. Lisa's first suggestion on where to find high-quality women is so obvious, yet so often overlooked, that it'll hit you like a ton of bricks. Next, Lisa shares with us what she tells women she coaches about how and where to find men. This is a massive insight because, after all, all of this works best when men and women end up at the same places at the same times, right? What does it mean to be 'heterophobic'? How did we get the crazy idea that bars and clubs are where to meet women? And what is the exact OPPOSITE place from bars or clubs to meet women...and absolutely amazing? Where do women who see themselves as 'wife-material' go? Can a woman who dresses like a slut on weekends really be a 'good girl' under there? And hey, wait a minute...if decent men and women are designed to be together and it isn't so complicated, why then is it so difficult for us to find each other?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === I've talked to many of you who feel as if you have plenty going for you, and by all rights should be meeting and attracting women like crazy. Yet somehow, you're not. In some cases, I've heard stories about how you've read all the books, watched all the videos and maybe even have hired multiple coaches...but the same old, shop-worn dating advice just isn't getting you anywhere. Well, the solution to this frustrating, enigmatic problem might really be a lot more simple than it seems. Simple...but not necessarily easy. It all starts with the basic mindset shift I reveal in this brief podcast, and once that happens your thoughts, words and even your behavior follow...automatically (and almost immediately) making you more irresistibly attractive to woman than ever before.

Co-Host Scott Grace (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/grace) Using humor in your life is powerful, and it all starts with having a sense of humor...which is different than being funny, right? My guest Scott Grace is not only an author of a book on masculinity, he's been a professional humorist for years. So to get started, why is having a sense of humor and appreciating comedy so much more beneficial to us than we even realize? And what do dolphins have to teach us about life? And why do so many men take themselves so seriously...when we already realize it's no fun to do that? Do we have to be some sort of comedian to pull this humor thing off correctly? What else can you do in the name of humor to make women feel safer and more comfortable with you? Does it make sense for us as masculine men to indeed give levity a chance? Should we give peace (or piece?) a chance while we're at it? Last, and certainly not least, Scott 'graces' us with an impromptu unplugged concert selection, which definitely does not disappoint.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You meet a woman and are wildly attracted to her. But she's has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, you're thinking she would be much better off with you than with him. Is it ever okay to try to get them to break up? What signs should you look for from her that things aren't necessarily going so well between the two of them.

Co-Host Cary Valentine (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cary) The term 'inner game' has been around for decades, dating at least as far back as Timothy Gallwey's seminal book The Inner Game Of Tennis. But since then, the concept has been applied to much more general areas of life than just tennis. My guest Cary Valentine is a deep thinker on this subject, to the point he's named his organization Champion Your Inner Game. According to Cary, a lot of people take a curious interest in the general idea of improving their inner game, but have a hard time actually defining what it means. Well, to start off, he offers a solid definition, along with the real-world goals that can be reached by focusing on it. Cary would say that the neuroscience of the subconscious is a language. What does he mean by that, and why is it so important to understand? And further, why is getting our inner game under control so hard to do...particularly here in Western 'developed' cultures? What is the simple (but apparently difficult) first step most men need to take in order to get their inner game in order? What inner game steps actually make our outer game better? What was Kobe Bryant's secret to bulletproof inner game? How did Cary set his dreams in motion and make his ambitions happen in a completely different, out-of-the-box way than most? In particular, how did his focus on inner game result in finding a great woman? How can you do the same...practically and realistically? Why does having a scatterbrained inner game prevent us from getting better as a man in just about every way? How did being a student drummer at Berklee College of Music (not unlike Miles Teller's character in Whiplash) practically force Cary to focus on his inner game? And finally...how did Cary later 'bring LA to Hawaii', starting with getting his head together?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We've all heard the term 'women's intuition', or 'female intuition' dozens of times. But what does it mean? Well, after listening to this brief episode you'll emerge with a clear understanding of how women's brains tend to function differently from ours as men. But what's more, you'll also discover how to turn that knowledge into more women liking you, wanting more of you, feeling safe with you and...best of all...being sexually attracted to you.

Co-Host Dr. Laura Sicola (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/name) My guest Dr. Laura Sicola is a TEDx laureate with over 7 million views. As a cognitive linguist and a leadership communication and influence coach, I had big plans to do a show with her on all of the stuff she's a genius at. For starters, she's from Philadelphia, where everyone talks fast...so she KNOWS the importance of, say...slowing down and enunciating, for sure. BUT...as you'll notice when you listen to the episode, all of that got flipped on its ear when we kicked off by talking about how our NAMES relate to dating and attraction. It was such a powerful and unique topic we stayed on it for 50 minutes! After all, even Dale Carnegie himself acknowledged how everyone's favorite words are their own name, and their favorite sound someone saying it. So, how should you actually SAY your name when introducing yourself to people...especially women? And how can you know a woman is attracted simply by how she says your name? What should you do if you meet a woman and instantly forget her name (which we all have)? What is the absolute best way to introduce yourself to a woman so that she'll remember you (and your name)? Next, listen in as Dr. Laura gives you the perfect strategy if you're name is frequently misspelled or mispronounced. Then, what if you're dating a great woman...except you can't stand her name? On that front, what if you can't stand your OWN name...then what? It's a funny, entertaining show with some legitimately original actionable content...enjoy.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We almost congratulate 'average' or 'normal' guys who land an exceptionally hot or sexy chick, don't we? And we use terms like 'out of their league' or 'punching above their weight' to describe the situation. How do those guys DO that? Well, what if I told you what's keeping YOU from doing the same is likely all in your head? In this brief episode I give you a full description of the mental trick most of us as men play on ourselves, why we're 'barking up the wrong tree' to begin with, and how to turn the tables on this whole toxic mindset. Wait until you get a load of the dirty little mind trick we play on ourselves. You'll wish you had heard this message YEARS ago.

Co-Host James I. Bond (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/brainglue) My new friend James I. Bond might not be a fictional British spy, but he's even better. He's a leading behavior management specialize who has written a powerful book called Brain Glue on, well...how to make your ideas 'sticky' to people. It's all about being memorable immediately and influential over the longer-term. And of course, James absolutely LOVES the topic of how to affect women as such...all with the added bonus of attracting them. What you're going to love right away about how James talks is it's always as pragmatic and actionable as can be. In fact, one of the main premises of being 'sticky' to people is doing away with the masks and speaking your truth...simply and clearly. Another is effective use of humor, as you've probably already imagined. Similarly, quite often being 'nice' is far from the best way to be memorable. Next, how does the term 'redentigration' apply to what James teaches? And how did the 'grandfather of pickup artists' use the concept to write his most famous book? What's the biggest mistake SO many men make that makes women want to FORGET them rather than remember them? How do James' ideas about influencing people to listen to US intersect with Dale Carnegie's famous ideas on the importance of listening to OTHERS instead? And last but certainly not least, what is the absolute BEST way to be irresistibly memorable to EXACTLY the kind of woman you really want?

Co-Hosts Anne Dranitsaris and Heather Hilliard (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/caliber) Today we're covering a topic that virtually EVERY man experiences. And weirdly, if EVERY man experiences it, NONE of us have any business experiencing it. I have to be referring to ye olde imposter syndrome, of course. My returning guests Anne and Heather from Canada have literally written the book on the subject and break it down in detail like you've never heard before. So why does every one of us typically think there's something wrong with ourselves that disqualifies us from success? I mean, if not us, then who? This insidious phenomenon rears it ugly head not only when we're approaching and relating to women, but in our careers and social lives as well. So what's up with the rumor that even 'average' women won't settle for anyone less than the perfect man? And how are we supposed to feel when we apply to like three dozen jobs on Indeed or ZipRecruiter that are absolutely perfect for us...but only get crickets in return? I mean, it's easy to believe there really IS something wrong with us under those circumstances, isn't it? What if you actually DO try but indeed fail spectacularly? And also, what if so-called 'rejection' isnt' really about you? Well, according to Anne and Heather, we as humans tend to pathologize situations that are absolutely normal, which has a way of making even relatively small make or break situations feel massive. So where's the balance between humility and utter lack of effective self-concept? And how can we stop giving our power away and reclaim it as we should?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === The word 'threat' implies evil or dangerous intent, according to the dictionary. So what's up with the term 'sexual threat', as it used to be applied in the context of men's dating and seduction advice? Well, even though it stopped being used so much vis-a-vis the #MeToo movement, etc., there is really no better way to describe the phenomenon it refers to. That means more men than ever are caught completely off guard or even, well...threatened when it happens nowadays. This episode will give you crystal clarity about this exhilarating part of the masculine/feminine dance, allowing you to face it and master it from this day forward...whatever you refer to it as.

Co-Host Kelly Kirk (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kellykirk) Life was rolling along nicely for my guest Kelly Kirk, until it wasn't. A series of family tragedies happened rapid fire, followed by the loss of his dream business. He found himself living in a Smart Car at a highway reststop, which makes even living in a van down by the river sound luxurious by comparison. What's more, even when Kelly met the woman of his dreams she ended up passing away tragically...and suddenly. So how can one even have the audacity to bounce back after hitting rock bottom like that? Well, Kelly happens to have been a bodybuilder for all of his adult life, so he naturally realized he needed to start applying the same discipline to his mental, emotional and spiritual states as he had been to his physical fitness. In this episode, he reveals that no matter how strong we think we are, tough times can strike. How do we get out of that funk and move upward and onward? Well, Kelly's first surprising answer is exactly WHERE you should go first when you've hit rock bottom...even though most people nowadays try to find a solution in the exact opposite direction! And what do we as men in particular typically do once we start experiencing tough times that only speeds up the downward spiral? And finally, as part of his overall method of bouncing back, how did Kelly do the keto diet right, with key tweaks to the popular version?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Classic western movies drop major hints as to why older men get younger women, which is one of many great reasons to watch them. After all, the lessons seamlessly translate to real, modern life. You see, when we're younger, we may THINK we're making all the right moves to attract women, but they're only rolling their eyes at us. And here's the thing...the older men are on to younger men's antics as well. Hey, it's not like anyone's being judgmental, at least per se. In fact, many of us 'grizzled veterans' look back at our younger selves and cringe. If only our younger selves could know what we know now, and act with more masculine maturity without waiting all those years for it to happen. Well, guess what...YOU still have a chance to skip to the head of the line.

With the holiday weekend upon us, here's a very special episode I've had planned for quite some time now. Having produced podcasts in the guest interview format since 2006, some of our guests have passed on over the years. This time, we remember David Wygant, Alan Roger Currie, Sean Stephenson, Doc Love and Dr. Mark Goulston; all of whom I've been proud to know. Included is a classic clip from interviews with each respective man, along with some of the fond memories about them I'm able to share. It's all in the name of doing at least my small part to keep their name and their influence alive going forward into the future. Topics are wide-ranging, and include masculine dominance, authenticity, never settling, women's interest levels and how to deal with unreasonable women. The result is a rock-solid listen that's as entertaining as it is informative, and loaded with light moments in celebration of five impactful lives. FYI, each of the full interviews are still available in the full feed of either The Mountain Top / The Chick Whisperer or X & Y On The Fly.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === For thousands of years nobody ever asked for masculinity to be 're-imagined'. So why now? And what's the purpose in doing so? In this brief episode I throw down why the idea is talked about so much, what the agenda behind it is, and most of all...what YOU should do about it as a man. Far too many of us as men are allowing ourselves to be confused, even when everything about true masculinity and femininity is as crystal clear as it always has been. Don't let the destructive notion of 're-imagining masculinity' gain any traction in your life anymore.

Co-Host Gavin Stone (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gavin) My returning guest Gavin Stone from the UK follows up his previous episode about spy secrets to success with women with a casual, fun discussion about what it was like to go out in-field with guys meeting women back in the day. By BITD, we mean the mid-90s or so...before the Seduction Community really happened. What did Gavin happen across during his days getting better with women that brought him massive success...all without the benefit of e-books, online forums and YouTube videos? In particular, what were some of the specific strategies Gavin used which are the 'timeless', and therefore indeed transferable to today's world? How does understanding and reading body language empower any man's approach to women? Interestingly enough, Gavin also helped women get better with men. What were the differences between why women came to him compared to men? And what are his thoughts on meeting women at bars and clubs? Where are the absolute best places to meet women...and always have been? By the way, what's the simple truth about how and why Gavin got good enough with women to have so many people wanting him to teach them how to do it? Next, get Gavin's original take on why 'rejection' happens...and why it often really has nothing to do with you. And how about flirting? Where is that 'magic balance' between coming on too strong and leaving the woman clueless as to whether you're even interested or not?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We as men are practically allergic to appearing less than fully informed or competent, aren't we? As such, we tend to stick to what we know and avoid situations where we can get 'alpha'ed' by someone who knows more than we do. But that mindset--and the behavior patterns that stem from it--can lead to a false sense of security. Worse, it can actually keep us from meeting and attracting the kind of women we really want in our lives. In this Snippet From The Summit, I'll show you exactly how to succeed with a woman you've just met, perhaps even right after the guy before you just struck out.

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) In this episode Emily joins me to address the sticky topic of dealbreakers in a relationship. Is having too many dealbreakers--or focusing on them--a dealbreaker in and of itself? You know, the 'don't bother' chick, for example? Is being 'high maintenance' a dealbreaker? And if so, what does that even mean? On the other hand, should not having any dealbreakers be a dealbreaker? Next, we list a full litany of good, solid dealbreakers that just about everyone can agree on. Does a couple have to be truly compatible, even if they're only down for a short-term fling? What if you and your partner differ on what terms like 'fidelity' and 'cheating' actually mean...specfically? How about if a behavioral 'dealbreaker' happens without it ever having been discussed as such previously? Should third-parties have any say in what your dealbreakers are as a couple? And hey, what are some specific example of unreasonable dealbreakers? Can there even be such a thing given the reality of personal preference relative to attraction? What's the case for and against building a list of checkboxes prospective mates must tick? But on the other hand, if we don't bother to even think of what we're looking for, how are we supposed to get it? What's the balance? And with that in mind, why do so many people pretty much run away from ever having to evaluate the potential of the relationship they're entering? And what if one of your dealbreakers automatically eliminates a massive percentage of your potential dating pool? As you can see, there's plenty to talk about surrounding this topic...and we pretty much cover it all.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You've heard me talk about the art of 'taking yourself less seriously' quite a bit over the years. Doing so is absolutely mission-critical to gaining respect and admiration from your fellow men, all the while putting women at ease and making sexual attraction FAR more likely. But lots of guys have reported that the term seems kind of esoteric to them. Well, once and for all, in today's episode I'll define it and give specific, practical examples of both taking oneself TOO seriously and taking oneself LESS seriously.

Co-Host Dominic Brightmon (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dom) Let's face it, every time you watch a biopic about a massively successful businessman--like, say, Steve Jobs, Ray Kroc from McDonalds or that guy from Blackberry--they're almost always a real jerk. Most of us as men would love to be massively successful, but do we really have to be a d*ck about it? My returning guest is author and podcaster Dominic Brightmon, and let's just say this conversation is 'game on'. For starters, businessmen aren't the only successful men out there. Does the power of being a jerk--or not--depend on what you actually do for a living, and or what you're trying to accomplish? And by the way, being a ruthless nasty guy isn't the only way to be a d*ck on the road to success, is it? And on the other hand, there's GOT to be a secret to being an effective self-promoter while still being likable and even charismatic, right? How can some (and I mean VERY few) truly arrogant men still pull that off, for example...say, Muhammad Ali? How does the infamous and currently popular topic of self-awareness play into all this? What's the difference between true influence and common bullying? Can you really take yourself less seriously and still be a man of extreme influence? How is that possible? And by the way, am I really the only one whose high-school girlfriends stuck their tongue their ear when making out?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You've been hammered with commentary and complaints about 'toxic masculinity' to the point where you're sick of it. After all, if you're NOT that guy, then all the negativity towards us as men can weigh on you. But have you ever stopped to think about how there must be 'toxic femininity' as well? There most certainly is. But since we never hear about it, it can be difficult to visualize just what it would look like. Well, here's a quintessentially perfect example of it...and one that is WAY too common in relationships between men and women nowadays.

Co-Host Monica Irauzqui (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/yampu) My guest Monica Irauzqui is a lifelong world traveler and comes to us from Yampu Tours in California. She has fantastic ideas not only for dudes who feel the need for more adventure in their lives, but also for couples who want to go way beyond the boring, conventional getaway to the beach or the mountains. For starters, she claims the absolute best trip for an adventure-minded couple would be to go on an African safari. She even claims it's a great idea for a honeymoon...just watch out for the black mambas and the night-stalking cape buffalo out there on the Serengeti. Before you even get around to that, however, Monica is also all about helping you plan the most memorable proposal to your future wife ever...and has done it lots of times. Like me, she also firmly believes that a good, solid road trip is a fantastic indicator of whether or not a dating couple is truly compatible with each other or not. Meanwhile, however, can bickering between couples--even while traveling--actually be a GOOD thing? But then again, the occasional adventure trip with the boys can also be a very good thing as well, right? Monica knows exactly how to plan that so it goes off without any issues.But can we at least all agree that destination weddings are obnoxious? Maybe not... So, moving on, what tips in general does Monica have for men who are traveling with women? And what's the best way for groups of dudes to plan an epic trip together?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === As a man, there's a time to be assertive, stand up for what you believe it, and possibly even fight about it. But nowhere does a man's lack of character in that regard tend to rear its ugly head than on social media. 'Silent tantrums' and 'safe rebellion' are two key examples of how men tend to betray their lack of manliness in this way. What do those concepts mean? They're both oxymorons and therefore sound alike, so how are they related...yet different? Once you know how these two dynamics work, you're sure to NEVER fall into their trap...even when the opening ceremony at The Olympics draws everyone else in.

Co-Host Todd Kashdan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/todd) The term 'insubordination' carries a negative connotation, for sure. But sometimes, it's exactly what's necessary in politics, your social life, your household and even--yes--in the workplace. But even when we truly care about whatever the cause is, we often worry about being at best 'high-maintenance', or at worst other than a 'team player' if and when we challenge the status quo. My returning guest is the author of The Art Of Insubordination, and in this episode we tackle the intricacies of combining bold manhood with our tendency to want to keep the peace. What is the true tradeoff between being a curious, independent thinker and simply keeping your head down? And aren't people who are disrupters like this usually jerks? In situations where we suspect 'groupthink', how do we find the right words and/or the right person to talk to about it? And what's the right approach to take in such scenarios? When should we seek to find a 'co-subordinate' to help us make our case? I mean, is it indeed true that there's often a lot of humility in being a proper insubordinate? How does all of this enter into our relationships with women...even to the level of the kinds of relationships we have with women to begin with? And what if we only think we're being insubordinate, when actually we're still playing right into 'the system'? What are some hints to know if that's the case...especially in these days of social media mind control?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Lately we've been talking about confidence, and rightly so. After all, it's the very prerequisite for any kind of success with women. That all starts with actually having the stones to approach and meet a woman, right? Well, in this episode I'll reveal the EXACT five-word phrase that immediately communicates confidence to women when you approach them. The real magic, however, is that it not only presents a confident first impression, it powerfully instills confidence in HER. And that, gentlemen, is a major key to making her feel safe and confident with you. Add it all up and you have an unbeatable winning combination...all in five words.

Co-Host Nick Shelton (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/introvert) A whole lot of guys who aren't exactly where they want to be with women are introverts by nature. But here's the deal...most of the time they aren't seeing the success they want because they either THINK introverts aren't as good with women, or they've been TOLD introverts aren't good with women. My returning guest Nick Shelton literally wrote the book on this subject, and he and I are all about empowering YOU to have the kind of women you really want in your life. First off, what are the misconceptions about introversion? What if you're an 'ambivert', and your frame is somewhat variable from situation to situation? Why are the new paradigms for not only socializing but workplace environments a very real paradise for introverts? And what about social media? Even though it doesn't involve physically interacting with a big crowd of people, it still seems to be the extroverts who are drawn to it. What's up with that? Can introverts actually be better in first date situations than extroverts, or is it purely about how much dating experience we have? Should introverts try to be more extroverted? Or is there actually a much simpler, imminently more workable solution that's been hiding in plain sight this whole time?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Obviously, women are attracted to confidence. But how are we supposed to be confident if we're not 'genetically gifted', or otherwise lack some of the stereotypical traits we're told over and over again that women want in a man? I mean, do we even have the right to be confident? For some of us as men, it hits our mindset so hard that we can start believing we shouldn't so much as have the audacity to attempt to approach a woman, let alone expect anything good to come from it. Can you overcome that? If so, HOW? Stay tuned... More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === The content in this show is NEVER generated by AI.

Co-Host Young Han (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/girldad) A quick Google search will reveal tons of info on masculinity and attracting women. But fatherhood, not so much. Why don't men talk much about fatherhood, whether we have sons, daughters or both? Well, my guest is none other than the host of The Girl Dad Show, Young Han. Despite the title of both his show and this episode, we end up talking almost as much about fathering sons as daughters...and you'll see why. To kick things off, Young and I consider how men often fear fatherhood...and how if if they don't, they typically want sons. But what is it about fathering daughters that is just as amazing, if in a completely different way? Is it true that daughters are often easier to handle as little kids than sons, but more difficult as teenagers? But wait a minute...what is the unique challenge teenage sons often bring? Can you avoid the widely-reported tipping point where your kids apparently turn on you in their teen years? How do you handle that "awkward stage" as tweeners when they discover MOTOS? What if Mom is too squeamish to give our daughters 'The Talk'? Should we step in? And then what...do we sit on the porch with a shotgun? But seriously though...what's a father to do when they discover their daughters are sexual beings? What is the fine line between building grit/mental toughness/confidence in our daughters versus trying to impose boyhood upon them? What about when it comes time someday to be the father of the bride? Last and certainly not least, how can you do your best to ensure a great relationship with your kids during and throughout adulthood?

And yes...there is a certain situation where everything you've ever been taught about 'The Rules Of Dating' go out the window. And with them, all the game playing, all the fear of looking needy or desperate, all the fake 'waiting periods', etc., etc. No more 'three second rules', let alone 'three day rules'. Sound great? It is. But there's a catch...this decidedly happier and more evolved situation is only there for those who truly deserve what they want.

Co-Host Christy Kerns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/luma) My first-time guest is Christy Kerns, who is the VP of Client Relations at high-end matchmaking firm Luma Luxury Matchmaking. Christy oversees the entire group of matchmakers over at her firm, so she has plenty of insight into how dating and relating has changed in recent months and years. My first question to her is why almost all matchmakers are women...and her answer makes perfect sense. From there, her very first two comments on what has changed since the pandemic were indeed ones I hadn't given much attention to as of yet, and they're both fascinating takes. How have daters actually become more patient in recent years, despite the fast-pace in general of post-modern reality? And what is really behind the trend of older women looking for younger men nowadays? What are the subtle changes that have occurred because of that bigger change of people having become far more politically-focused than in decades past? And what is the current state of people's social skills in general nowadays, according to Christy? Do women still generally want to have kids and do men still tend to put fatherhood off indefinitely? Do women have longer 'must have' checklists nowadays than ever, or have they backed off from that? And are women really more sexually promiscuous nowadays?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Whenever most men happen to encounter a woman they'd say is a '10 out of 10', they automatically rule out any possibility of attracting her at all, let alone girlfriending her. But this Snippet From The Summit serves as a 'wake up' call to both our confidence and our logical grasp of such situations. For starters, women you consider 'tens' might not be as unattainable as you might think...for several reasons. What's more, when you get her attention the RIGHT way, you actually have a BETTER chance at KEEPING it than you do even with 'average' women. Here's the surprising--and confidence-inspiring--reason why .

Co-Host Dr. Thomas Jordan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/jordan) An increasingly disturbing trend is toward unabashedly transactional relationships between men and women. But what does that even mean? My returning guest is Dr. Thomas Jordan, a clinical psychologist and love live researcher who may be the very best guy to answer that question. Dr. Jordan (you can call him Tom) and I talk first about the reasons why relationships have moved away from concepts like, oh...intimacy and connection, and more toward what each respective party can get out of the deal. Is there any wonder the divorce rate is so high? Well, as it turns out, there's more there than meets the eye...and it's fascinating. What is the connection between transactional relationships and what Tom calls 'defensive relationships'? And is it possible to have a purely transactional relationship even if the two of you have 'fallen in love'? What if the person you want to serve your needs in a relationship actually has needs of their own...but both partners are completely oblivious to that even being a possibility? Can such a relationship be redeemed, let alone last for any reasonable period of time? Next, Tom drops a bomb...people who are all about transactional relationships DON'T need dating advice (but it's not like it's because they're all set, though). How did many people who gravitate toward selfishness in relationships become that way? And, well...what is the healthier alternative to transactional relationships? While we're at it, what is "intimacy" supposed to look like, anyway? Then we talk about how the subjective "benefits", if you will, above and beyond mere transactional relationships often take people by surprise...and how FAR too many people figure that out too late in life, if they find out at all. Overall, a particularly meaningful and valuable episode with one of the great relationship thinkers of our time.

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Picture this... You're at a social gathering and you see some other guy talking to exactly the woman you had your eye on. She's laughing, hitting him on the shoulder and, well...looks like she's thoroughly attracted to him. But here's the thing...every time YOU finally get the chance to talk to a woman you really want, you never see ANY of those signals. What's going on there? Well, as this Snippet From The Summit clearly demonstrates, you're probably in for a surprise...and it's the best kind possible. More at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Marcus Oakey (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/marcus) My returning guest is British charisma coach Marcus Oakey, who is exactly who you need to help you get past small talk with people, and especially get through that awkward 'cordial' stage that ensues. What is it exactly about cordial small talk that's lacking, and what kind of conversation is it we should actually be moving toward instead? And what if you're indeed pretty good at making conversation with people, but still encounter some who are virtually impossible to talk to? Is it YOU, or THEM? And in such cases, where can you find small talk out of nowhere when you need it? And what do you do if you don't get the desired response from the other person? Do you have to be a brilliant conversationalist to be a charismatic presence? When it comes to early-stage conversation, how can we as men unwire our competition mindset, as if every interaction is going to be a win or a loss? The truth is you can achieve true connection and rapport with people and make them like you without any real advanced skill whatsoever...in fact, as one story illustrates, often less can be more. What is Marcus' hack for objectively moving from cordial talk to more meaningful conversation? How many times should you attempt to expand a conversation with someone before wishing them well and signing off? The answer to that one WILL surprise you. And finally...what are the hazardous consequences of waiting for someone else to make the first move conversationally?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Some guys give themselves a false sense of empowerment by blaming women for everything that goes wrong in relationships. In their estimation, any man who tries to 'do better' in a bad situation with a woman is acting like a weakling. But doesn't that leave us perpetually at an impasse when it comes to potential success with women? There's got to be a way to improve our ability to attract women and earn their respect than simply kowtowing to the ones who hammer us with double-standards. And fortunately, there indeed is.

Co-Host Dr. Avrum Weiss (https://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/avrum) The first time my guest Dr. Avrum Weiss was on, he threw down some enlightening yet challenging ideas about not only HOW we as men tend to be afraid of women, but WHY. This time, he returns to go into more detail about how even those of us who THINK we're pretty much fearless out there with women are hamstringing ourselves when it comes to success with women. As his book's title says, much of this self-sabotage happens in plain sight. What's more, women themselves also see our fear...and yet typically offer little to no help in letting us see our own proverbial forest for the trees. Why is this all apparently so simple, yet so complicated at the same time? Well, Avrum starts off by explaining how we as men experience fear of women as opposed to how women perceive it. As much as we associate fear with the attraction process and dating, where does most of it REALLY come from? Then we explain exactly why so many men attract 'average' women without any problem whatsoever...until they're in front of a woman they're actually attracted to. And how can subtle fears crater our chances with women...not just in the beginning, but eventually in the context of even a long-term relationship? What are the real differences between what women SAY they want in a man, and what they REALLY want? And how do OUR fears as men influence both? Next, if we know being needy and seeking approval is an attraction killer, why do so many men have such a hard time cutting it out? And most of all...what is the most effective antidote for relational fear? Stay tuned for practical steps. After all these years, some of you guys still aren't getting my free daily newsletter. It's fluff-free and contains actionable steps to being a better man and succeeding with women.
