Episodes
How To Be A "Measured" Man - SFTS 141
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== The term "measured" is kind of like "high maintenance", isn't it? We all have a mental picture of what it is, but not all of us have the same mental picture. So what does it actually mean to be a "measured" man, and what does it look like? What do men from Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asian men and Native American men have deeply ingrained in their culture that other guy
The Masculine Blueprint - MTP 533
Co-Host GS Youngblood (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/blueprint) For years I've noted how being masculine is in every man's nature, so if we simply relax into it there's not a whole lot of "heavy lifting" involved. But that doesn't change the fact that we as men like to have a plan. My returning guest GS Youngblood has exactly such a plan, which he calls The Masculine Blueprint. First off, we talk
Why Millionaires Jump Off Of Buildings - SFTS 140
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard the stories about rich businessmen jumping off of buildings after the stock market crash in 1929. What's up with that? Well, as it turns out there's a clearly defined psychological principle going on there. We as men in particular are particularly prone to adopt this poisonous mindset. But worse...the very same issue can trickle down into our mindset tow
Our Favorite On-Screen Relationships - MTP 532
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://scotmckaycoaching.com) It's long overdue, but Emily and I are finally talking about male/female relationship on TV and in movies. There's no better co-host for this, since, well...Emily and I watch more shows together than we do with anyone else, obviously. Given that spaghetti westerns and action/adventure flicks rarely have much to offer as far as dudes and chicks ge
Get A Female Barber - SFTS 139
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== What does getting a haircut have to do with getting better with women? As it turns out, plenty...as long as you're up to the task. With due respect to barbershop culture if that's your time with your buds, this is all about choosing a female barber. Now, the obvious reason would be because a woman will know exactly how to cut your hair so you're attractive to women.
Making Her Like You More - MTP 531
Co-Host Jonathan Van Viegen (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/choosingus) My first time guest Jonathan Van Viegen is a couples therapist and coach, and author of The Chosen And Cherished Method along with his new book Choosing Us. The topic he suggested is one that doesn't get talked about nearly enough in the world of dating and relationship advice, especially amongst us men. That's being likeable.
The Truth About Second Marriages - STFS 138
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've all heard the alleged statistics about how 2nd marriages fail at a higher rate than first marriages. But did you know there's no actual study to back that up? The truth is very different. Nevertheless, I've got a significant plot twist for you when it comes to any and all studies that talk about dating, relationships and attraction. Sometimes the alleged "red pi
Flirting Is Supposed To Be Fun - MTP 530
Co-Host Cora Boyd (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cora) One of the biggest stumbling blocks for men is flirting. After all, in our minds it's all about revealing sexual (or at least non-platonic) interest in a woman, and rumor has it that sort of thing is flat-out dangerous in today's world. Well, my first-time guest Cora Boyd is the host of Pillow Talk Radio and heads up Magnetics Love School. To
The Woman Of Your Dreams: You Won't See Her Coming - SFTS 137
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===What happens when someone asks you to envision the "woman of your dreams"? Well, you likely have a mental picture almost immediately. She's exactly your type and/or what society projects as the "perfect woman". But here's the thing: when the woman who really "does it for you" shows up in real life, she might not be who you envisioned. What's up with that? Are you set
What Love Truly Is - MTP 529
Co-Host Scotte Burns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/scotte) My first-time guest Scotte Burns and his wife have spent nearly a decade and more than 100,000 miles on Harleys asking one question: What is love...especially in a language like English which infamously only has one word to cover the whole concept? They got many answers along the way, but which one changed Scotte the most? I mean, what
JBF Zone Vs. She Can't Say "No" - SFTS 136
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Oh man, it's the most frustrating thing ever, isn't it? Getting banished to the dreaded "Just Be Friends" Zone is bad enough. But what if she is spending time with you, but at the same time it's crystal clear that things are going nowhere with her? Either way, we're talking about a woman who doesn't have a romantic interest in you. So what's the difference that makes
From Player To Parent - MTP 528
Co-Host Robbie Kramer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kramer) My returning guest Robbie Kramer joins me for this wide-ranging episode on the journey from PUA-era men's coach to husband and father. What's more, Robbie is a "girl dad"...just a month and a half in. So what, if anything, changes in us as men once we get married, and especially when we become a parent? And what are the specific mind sh
Divorce "Glow-Ups"? What A Joke! - SFTS 135
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Have you been hit with the term "Divorce Glow-Up" yet? Basically, a bunch of divorced women are going around on social media bragging (or is that perpetrating) how they're hotter, healthier and even happier after a divorce. Sure, women are going to flex some "girl power" with each other once in a while. But is there a deeper and more troubling message here? And how do
Make Love Like Your Life Depends On It - MTP 527
Co-Host Dr. Kyle Hulsebus (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/40over40) My first-time guest Dr. Kyle Hulsebus is a health and human potential specialist, author, and third-generation chiropractor. All of that has focused his attention on a theory that should be of extreme interest for any man who wants to be at his best when relating to women. Indeed, his 40over40 longevity series claims sex after 40
Why Both Sexes Think The Other Is Impossible To Figure Out - MTP 134
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===For millennia men and women have been trying to figure each other out. But the ironic part is both genders think they're easy to figure out. What's actually going on there? Well, that's the part nobody ever stops to think about...until now. As it turns out, when we stop thinking of the other gender as from some other planet, or even as some other species, that's when
Thriving In Public, Struggling In Private - MTP 526
Co-Host Mike Basevic (https://mountaintoppodcat.com/nolimits) Mike Basevic had it all, and then lost it all. As I read his story, I realized it sounded a lot like mine. That's no coincidence, as it happens to a lot of men. We go through lives holding it all together and looking good on the outside, but inside we're falling apart. How do we "man up" in those circumstances and get real? In our cultu
Getting The Girl Depends On Your Moves, Not Hers - SFTS 133
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've been told not to give attractive women straight answers, and to avoid looking "needy" at all costs. But what's the collateral damage when we completely retreat from telling a woman our real intentions? Too many of us as men are sick and tired of getting lukewarm answers from women who we're never sure are really interested in us. But here's the good news: Your l
Stay Attractive As You Mature - MTP 525
Co-Host Regan Archibald (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/ageless) None of us are getting any younger, although the truth is we don't necessarily have to look or feel old, either. It seems obvious when said out loud that everyone--including us as men--would love to be attractive to women for as many years as we can, and feel great physically for as long as possible too. My first-time guest is Dr. Re
"Looksmaxxing" Is An Over-Correction - SFTS 132
==SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Here it is...if we fall for the "looksmaxxing" trend, it says more to women about what we LACK as men than what we HAVE. Where did we as men start buying into this trend to begin with? Why is putting all that pressure on ourselves actually unnecessary? What is it that women are really looking for...even though it's MUCH more attainable for nearly every man? Discover th
How To Talk To Women About STIs - MTP 524
Co-Host Robert Johnson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/shameless) My first-time guest Robert Johnson is the founder of Shameless Care, a sexual health telemedicine company focused on STI testing and medications. That alone makes him the right guy to finally do a show with on the topic of how to talk about sexually transmitted diseases/infections with women. But as it turns out, Robert has some str
"Emotional Regulation" That Attracts Women? - SFTS 131
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Man, the buzz phrase of 2026 so far has got to be "emotional regulation". But what does it even mean? And what made it such a popular subject of conversation lately? Well, as it turns out our masculine presence depends upon it, especially when it comes to attracting the most feminine women. But here's the thing...most people in general, not just us as men, are lacking
Women Want Your Outrageous Self - MTP 523
Co-Host Dr. Dain Heer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dain) In this logical follow-up to last week's show with Emily, my first-time guest Dr. Dain Heer claims that all of us are authentically at least a little bit outrageous. What's more, being you is the ultimate rebellion. And the world needs that from you...now. Especially women. You see, this is a major part of what keeps you from becoming the
Can "Analog Resistance" Make You Better With Women? - SFTS 130
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===We've been talking about how the old school is the new school for quite some time now. But what if this idea goes way beyond meeting women in real life instead of on apps and reclaiming classic virtuous masculinity? The new term is "analog resistance" and it's probably not what you think. This isn't a bunch of old codgers saying, "get off my lawn". As it turns out, yo
Our Most Authentic Self - MTP 522
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Nobody in Western culture wants to come off as fake to anyone. Authenticity rules, especially if we expect to build meaningful, connected relationships...especially with MOTOS. But the tricky question has always been about how to know when you're being your true self. What context is that most likely to occur in...and with whom especially? W
What Is "Friendfluence"? - SFTS 129
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===There's yet another new dating trend/buzzword now: "friendfluence". Now, on the surface you can figure what this is about. Women in particular have been letting their friends whisper in their ear about the guys they're dating since the dawn of recorded time. But thanks to a new "hail mary" attempt from Tinder to stay relevant, there's an added dimension. As it turns o
Get Better With Women While You Sleep - MTP 521
Co Host Ryan Hurd (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/luciddreaming) My first-time guest is a dream researcher and educator with dreamstudies.org. What if you had a sandbox for practicing with women...with zero real-life consequences? And what if you didn't have to find ANY new time in your busy schedule for it? I mean it sounds crazy, but if you could open up those hours of built-in "downtime" in hum
What Attractive Women Are Screening For When They Watch You - SFTS 128
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===A lot of men are skeptical that women are noticing them at all, let alone watching them. But if you actually ask any woman, they'll readily admit that they watch us as men all the time. And yes, they watch ALL of us. Are they just "people watching", or are they scanning for something in particular? As it turns out there's one major factor that's an instant attraction
Are There Any Lines That Work With Women? - MTP 520
Co-Host Race DePriest (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/race My first time guest Race DePriest has been getting magical results with women since back when MySpace was a thing. He and his roommate would hold house parties and "audition" sexy women for spots on their social calendar. Nowadays, he's still the Chief Funstigator over at Attraction Rockstar, specializing in ways to meet women and charm th
What Is Typemaxxing? - SFTS 127
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===You've heard of looksmaxxing. But it that really going to help you attract the kind of woman you really want? A lot of guys are falling for the trend, in large part because we've bought into the redpilled stereotypes--not only about women, but about ourselves. There's a much better way to think about "maxxing" out your attractiveness to women. Best of all, it's far mo
American Men, American Women - MTP 519
Co-Host Tommy Breedlove (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/livelegendary) This show drops one day before the 250th anniversary of the United States of America's Declaration of Independence. To celebrate, my long-time friend, returning guest and all-around American guy Tommy Breedlove from Live Legendary joins me to talk about American men and America women. Especially the women. This episode was reco
How Can You Be The Prize Instead Of Her? - SFTS 126
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Based on the comment sections from YouTube and TikTok, there's a problem out there that's starting to look more like a disease. It's all about how too many men respond to "thirst trap" videos, or the ones where men interact with sexy, attractive women. And nope, I'm not talking about the guys who post the "heart eyes" emojis and act like simps. That's no longer the t
Sleeping When You're Dead Is No Way To Live - MTP 518
Co-Host Josh Bronfman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dreamer) My first-time guest Joshua Bronfman is a Certified Sleep Science Coach and the founder of Dreamer. He has made getting better sleep his life's mission. Now, it's pretty macho to make references to sleep being weak. For example, "I'll sleep when I'm dead". But then again, being exhausted and groggy isn't very manly, either. And worst of
Focus On What You Can Control In Situations With Women - SFTS 125
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== There's nothing worse than approaching a woman, being on a date with her or even being in a relationship with her and you feel completely out of control. Your stress level rises, you feel emasculated and then what? You only get upset and frustrated. Well, every one of us as men has situations we CAN control, and when we focus on those it has a strange but almost magi
What Are Guided Erotic Experiences? - MTP 517
Co-Host Nicholas Velotta (https://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/arya) My first-time guest Nicholas Velotta is an intimacy researcher for a company called Arya. Arya curates sexual experiences for couples everywhere. Nicholas's IRB-approved study of over 600,000 people found about how guided erotic experiences actually affect long-term attraction and connection. What did the data from couples reveal a
All I Want Is A Normal Woman. Is That So Hard?
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== It's easy for us as men to say we'd really just like a normal, pretty average woman. After all, if you're who I call "Gen-Eric" you're wearing normal clothes, driving a normal car, working a normal job and living a normal life. So why wouldn't a woman like "Gen-Erica" who seems to match up well with you not want you? Well, that's not how it works, unfortunately. Whil
How To See Your Relationship With A Woman As It Really Is - MTP 516
Co-Host Dr. John DeMartini (https://mountainoppodcast.com/perceptions) It's easy to get kind of a warped perspective on our relationship with a certain woman--or women in general, really--especially if we've gone through a bit of a "dry spell" or haven't yet experienced the kind of success we'd really like. In those cases, we already know we need a whole new way of looking at things because what w
How To Know If You're Being Authentic - SFTS 123
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== We all want to be our true selves in any situation, of course. But how do you head-check yourself to make sure you're presenting your real, natural self when approaching and meeting women? How about on first meetings, or those first few weeks when you're getting to know them? As it turns out, there's a sobering but potentially dead-accurate way to tell. All is reveal
The Essence Of Femininity - MTP 515
Co-Host Lauren Salaun (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/essence) We talk about the masculine/feminine dance quite a bit around here, but what is the very essence of femininity? And especially, how would a woman define that herself? My first-time guest is Lauren Salaun, who is a transformational facilitator and somatic life coach. When she came to me with the idea for this show, at first it sounded a
How To Use "The Indirect Reference" With Women - SFTS 122
==SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== For years there has been talk about "going direct" with women. Well, how can you directly approach and talk to women while being "indirect" at the same time? Unlock that secret and open up a whole new (and easier) way to tell what a woman's interest level is, whether she has a boyfriend or not, and more...all before you get her number and tell her you want to see her
Love Hard On Purpose - MTP 514
Co-Host John Kim (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/johnkim) We've had a number of guests define "love" different ways on this show. My returning guest John Kim, author of the new book Love Hard On Purpose, thinks of it as a deliberate, daily practice. Well, isn't that the same thing as love being a decision, rather than simply a feeling? We jump right in by talking about whether couples should feel
Actively Create Your Success With Women - SFTS 121
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Far too many men wait passively for a woman to come into the picture. And when she does, they expect her to make the first move...whether that's showing them some sort of flirtatious sign or downright approaching them first and saying "hello". In the real world, that rarely happens. As men, we lead. We make things happen. And it shouldn't feel as if we HAVE to, it sho
Senior Wisdom On Sex For Younger Generations - MTP 513
Co-Host Suzanne Noble (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/noble) My first-time guest Suzanne Noble is the host of Sex Advice For Seniors. Whatever you're thinking, forgettaboutit. She is candid, open and honest enough to make Dr. Ruth Westheimer blush. So what can a woman who's compiled over 10,000 hours of sexual activity (now Malcolm Gladwell's blushing as well) tell us about sex and relationships?
Why People Pleasers Fail With Women - SFTS 120
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===People pleasers have the bad habit of trying to seek approval from everyone. Typically, talk on this subject gravitates around how people pleasers attract narcissists, which is a bad thing for sure. But there's an even darker side to this mindset and its associated behavior pattern that almost guarantees perpetual failure with women. Worse, most people pleasers have a
We Never Outgrow Flirting - MTP512
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coach) Emily joins me once again, this time for a fun-filled topic. Yes, we're talking about flirting...and flirting should indeed be fun. If it's work, drudgery, or even creepy and weird then we're not doing it right. Since women love fun, that means they also love to flirt. So what IS flirting really, anyway? And given the stereotype that sex s
Do Women Want Exactly What You Lack? - SFTS119
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Last week we talked about how men try to find a "workaround" for not being tall, good looking or rich...when the truth is we should be focusing more on what our strengths actually are. As a follow up, this week I'm covering another equally tricky prank we play on ourselves. The craziest part about this one is we hold ourselves to such strict account in this regard wh
Be With A Woman Who Inspires You - MTP511
Co-Host Brandon Wade (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/seeking) My first time guest Brandon Wade s the founder and co-CEO of Seeking.com, a dating platform he founded in 2006 after his own frustrations with modern dating and difficulty finding meaningful connection. For nearly 20 years, he has helped build and evolve Seeking around a core idea that now feels more relevant than ever: successful relat
What To Focus On To Attract Women - SFTS118
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== For years we've been told women want tall, rich, good-looking guys...and then given workarounds, loopholes or "quick fixes" to try to get women without having any of those traits going for us. Well, how is that working out? If not so well, this brief episode exposes the real truth. It's not that you've been lied to about not needing to have won the "genetic lottery"
Creationships, Not Destructionships - MTP510
Co-Host Simone Milasas (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/simone) You have what's commonly known as relationships, you have situationships, and now you have creationships. The term was coined by my first-time guest Simone Milasas, who sheds some new light on some of the ideals we've held true for years now around here. Now obviously, a "creationship" should be the opposite of, say, a "destructionship
Beat The Competition, Get The Girl - SFTS117
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Too many of us psyche ourselves out when it's time to meet a woman and invite her to spend some quality time with us. We start fearing rejection, think of the hundreds of other guys she'd probably want instead of us, and end up rationalizing our inaction. Meanwhile, sure enough...some other guy who's really no better than you ends up with her. What's he got that you
Are You Potent? - MTP509
Co-Host Gabriela Rosa (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) Sure, a lot of guys fear--or even dread--fatherhood. But what if you have the right woman in your life, are finally ready to start a family with her...but can't? And it turns out the problem isn't her, it's you. My first-time guest Gabriela Rosa is a Harvard-trained fertility specialist and founder of Fertility Breakthrough, the world's first
The Real Rite Of Passage - SFTS116
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== The idea of a rite of passage from boyhood to manhood is talked about constantly in masculinity circles. Well, even though lots of other world cultures have historically had one well-defined moment when a boy comes a man, either by ritual or simple pronouncement, that certainly is not the case here in the post-modern Western world. We look around us and see way too m
Humor Is An Unfair Advantage With Women - MTP508
Co-Host Jim Wolfe (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/funny) My long-time friend and fellow coach Jim Wolfe returns, this time to talk about how to use the kind of humor that women find attractive. We kick things off by talking about the oxymoron that the harder we try to be funny, the less funny we are. What do you do with that situation? Well, the good news is being funny is a learned skill...but on
A "Sexual Threat" Should Not Be Threatening - SFTS115
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Who knows where the term started, but "sexual threat" is one of the most widely mis-interpreted phrases in the world of seduction and attraction science. For better or worse, it's also dead-on accurate in terms of describing what's going on. Obviously, we know a "Big Four" man is rightly focused on making a woman feel safe and comfortable. So how can something called
Men Underestimate The Power Of Their Leadership With Women - MTP507
Co-Host Marni Kinrys (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/fwithher) We talk about making women feel safe and secure, but what else do women need to feel genuine, raw, primal attraction? My long-time friend and returning guest Marni "The Wing Girl" Kinrys joins us to talk about her "Four Ss" (which I'm not exactly sure how to type out in proper English), which have everything to do with how we show up a
Are You Trying To GET Women Or FORGET Women? - SFTS114
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== We're hard-wired to want women, and women are hard-wired to want us. That's how it has been since the dawn of time. So what's happened in the last century or so to make men apparently uninterested in women? Was it that women were uninterested in us first? Well, the truth is all of us--men and women--have been tricked. What's the truth underneath all of the division b
Can AI Make You Better With Women? - MTP506
Co-Host Rob Judge (https://mountaintoppodcat.com/robai) As much as I'd love to be, I can't be on call to every one of you guys I work with 24/7. I mean, I've been known to try...and I do get texts from guys right before 2am California time wondering how to get a woman's number at the bar before it closes. Well, my long-time friend and fellow men's coach Rob Judge has the same exact predicament. S
50-Year-Old Guys And 20-Year-Old Women - SFTS113
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== When we think of a 50-year-old man with a 20-year-old woman, we get a very specific mental picture. Mature guys who can pull that off are like heroes, right? Well...not so fast. What if the reality is different than what you expect? Either way, what are the right and the wrong reasons to entertain a 10, 15 or even 30 year age gap between partners like that? What if o
Becoming Technosexual - MTP505
Co-Host Kaamna Bhojwani (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/technosexual) My first-time guest Kaamna Bhojwani is a long-time sexologist, and more recently a technosexuality expert. With the rise of telephony, the Internet, social media and now AI we've all become more technosexual nowadays than we might even realize. But what IS "technosexuality"? Well, as unsettling as it sounds, it's at least not to
The PUAs Are Still There, They Just Moved - SFTS112
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== ===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== The underground society of pickup artists may be LONG gone, but the PUA movement is still alive and well. It just sort of changed venues. What's up with that? Well, men are never going to stop wanting to know how to attract and seduce women. But nowadays you can't just expect to go to a bar or disco club on Friday night and pull chicks.
How To Know When You're Loved, And When You're Not - MTP504
Co-Host Kenny Vaughan (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/kenny) My first-time guest Kenny Vaughan is the author of The Right Fight and founder of Shield of Strength. He spends a lot of time thinking about what love is, and isn't. For years, Kenny thought love was only a feeling...but then realized there was something deeper there. He didn't buy that "love is a decision", either. What does, "I love yo
Meeting Women: "I'm Just Looking" - SFTS111
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Most of us can't stand small talk. It's shallow. It's repetitive. But in this culture, it's also absolutely necessary. Have you ever realized we have one set of canned lines we deliver to people we know when we see them? But there are also completely different things we've grown accustomed to saying to people we don't know. I'll give you the absolute clearest example
What Keeps You From Thriving? - MTP503
Co-Host Sanya Bari (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sanya) My first time guest Sanya Bari is a relationship therapist and emotional clarity expert...which given she's from New Jersey means she's in high demand. She asked a dangerous question: What keeps men from thriving? To get the show rolling, Sanya riffs away on what her findings were. So what is the difference between merely surviving and thri
Talking To Upset, Stressed Women Is Great Practice - SFTS110
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== There's so much shop-worn dating advice out there we've heard SO often that I swear we don't even realize there's anything wrong with it. Example...have you ever noticed that virtually all tips on approaching women, meeting them and interacting women them assume a playful, happy-go-lucky, flirty woman as a given? The only other frame of mind we consider possible in t
The Seasons Of Marriage (20 Years In!) - MTP502
Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) Since our last episode together, Emily and I celebrated 20 years since we met. Over the course of two decades, we've realized there are seasons to a marriage. Now obviously, most couples would hope for an endless springtime rather than the winter of their discontent, but what we're talking about here isn't quite so literal. It's not just tha
Most Men Struggle With ONE Of The "Big Four" - SFTS109
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Better men get better women. To be a better man, the "Big Four" is the standard. Once you're a "Big Four" man, you deserve what you want. Although there's always room for improvement, most men who listen to this show have three of the "Big Four" down pretty well. You're masculine, you like women and you're a man of good, solid character. But when "confronted" with an
Mistakes In The First Three Months Of Dating - MTP501
Co-Host Sandra Myers (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sandra) My first-time guest Sandra Myers is a matchmaker who heads up Select Date Society. In this fast-paced and often funny episode, we talk about how (and when) men and women tend to blow it in the first three months of dating each other. To kick things off, Sandra throws down how WAY too many people mess up within the first three MINUTES, or
Eye Contact Problems - SFTS108
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== One of the most tired tips for men when it comes to telling if a woman is attracted is "she makes eye contact with you and smiles". Way too many of us as men have never seen that happen even once. It's no wonder we're so frustrated. But wait a second, could we be robbing ourselves of potential "moments" with women because we're avoiding eye contact with women to begi
What Is Wrong With Men And Women Nowadays? - MTP500
Co-Host Steve "The Dean" Williams (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dean) Well, here we are...finally all the way to episode #500. Massive respect and appreciation to all of you guys who've supported the show over the years, many since the very beginning back in 2007...when it was originally called The Chick Whisperer. The first guy I thought of to join me for this milestone episode was none other t
Liquid Courage - SFTS107
===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== You've heard the term. "Liquid courage" refers to slamming back a few alcoholic drinks before expecting to approach and meet women. It goes hand-in-hand with "night game" culture of meeting women in bars and clubs, doesn't it?

Situationships Are Sinking Ships - MTP499
Co-Host Dr. Karen Stewart (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/stewart) We've all heard the term "situationship" all the time over the past few years, but what exactly does it mean? We already have "friends with benefits" and even "f-buddies", so there's no need for a new term for that.

Synthetic Intimacy - MTP498
Co-Host Holly Nelson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/holly) Think of it like aspartame is to real sugar. "Synthetic intimacy" may be sweet, but it's not the real thing.

Free Speech When Talking To Women - MTP496

Why Narcissistic Women Target You - SFTS102
