Open Her Up To Sex - MTP349 Mar 31, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Sydney Richdale (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sydney) Among your favorite guests are the various female sex advice instructors I've had on the show over the years, most several times. Well, this time I'd like to introduce you to a brand new one. Sydney Richdale is all about making sex as much fun as possible, so it's no wonder that's her absolute favorite subject to talk about. Needless to say, you should plan on LOTS of fun this time. To kick things off, Sydney wonders aloud how we can live in such a hyper-sexualized culture, yet there's still so much shame, drama and pain whenever it comes up in conversation. That leads to a frank discussion on the truth of how much women love sex, even though so many men refuse to believe that. Where do guys tend to mess up the most when it comes to attracting women sexually? And what are some of the perhaps counter-intuitive ways men can be more sexually attractive to women? What presumptions do we make about women that really hamstring us psychologically when talking to women about sex, let alone actually getting sexual with them? How can we make women feel more safe and comfortable with us instead, especially sexually? And what about 'mental foreplay'? What's Sydney's take on that? Finally, what's the one x-factor that most men don't ever really see coming that opens up a whole new world of sexual possibility with the right kind of woman?

Masculine Leadership And Attraction In A Virtual World - MTP348 Mar 24, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Dr. Gleb Tsipursky (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/hybrid) Men and women have been meeting each other through computers for ages now, of course. But during the pandemic we were actually told to stay away from each other IRL and focus on 'Zoom dating', remember? For better or worse, even now people are still not leaving the house to socialize. Many are still even complaining about having to leave the house to go to work. All of this may not be optimal for real, actual interpersonal socialization...but it's what most people want. So, according to my good friend Dr. Gleb Tsipursky, we'd better stop fighting it and start getting used to it. And here's the thing...that means our classic ideas regarding masculine leadership and even attracting women have GOT to adapt. Men who do so successfully will win, while those who don't will be left in the dust. So then, you can see just how important this topic really is, even as NOBODY else seems to be discussing it. First off, in-person everything is trying to be replaced by virtual meetings and deliveries. But is that even really possible? It has to be...or else. What is 'status quo bias', and how does it work in combination with 'functional fixedness'? What are the real reasons why women seem to prolong virtual interaction before actually meeting? What are 'native virtual interactions', are they anything like 'naked virtual interactions', and why don't we do more of either of those with women? How does all of this translate to greater effectiveness and influence as leaders in business and in our social circles?

Is The Dating World Out To Get You? - MTP347 Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Susan Winter (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/winter) My returning guest Susan Winter is one of the deepest thinkers in the world of dating and relationship advice, and she's almost always right on the money when she talks about how men and women relate to each other. Despite the somewhat dark topic, this episode turned out to be a lot more fun than expected. Listen in as Susan talks about how different social trends and pressures have conspired to make meeting a woman who is right for you more difficult than ever before in human history. So how did we get to this point where it's so weird and complicated out there? Wait until you hear Susan's original (and IMO spot-on) take about that. How has the Internet changed the way we date in ways that go above and beyond merely related to online dating and apps? And how did the pickup artist movement have a ripple effect well into our current reality...in ways that are both positive and not so much? How did the era of selfhood and conspicuous consumption in the '80s and '90s throw a wrench in dating and relating well into the future? Whatever happened to self-awareness in this culture? Super-scammers? Beautiful bots? And what in the world is 'at-trick-tion'? Check out all the latest free downloads along with the Masterclasses For Men at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Getting The Truth From People - MTP346 Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Jack Schafer (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/truth) Couldn't we use just a little truth nowadays? It's simultaneously frustrating and yet one of my favorite subjects. So who better than my returning guest Jack Schafer to talk about how to get to the bottom of things in this day and age? After all, not only did Jack work as an FBI interrogator for years, he has literally written the book on how to detect truth. So to get started, I ask Jack if we're less truthful overall as a culture nowadays, or is it simply that the proliferation of media and social media makes it seem that way? What is up with people who back down from the truth even in the face of a lie? And what is 'Insta-win', as Jack calls it? How does the press use the concept of 'primacy' to influence how people perceive truth? What is going on with our education system that's directly influencing a 'truth avoidant' culture? And how are universities actually making it worse...even when they're supposed to be teaching young people how to think? Could it be true that it's actually easier to find real truth in developing countries rather in the so-called 'First World'? And of course, there's no more important place for truth than in our relationships with women. Why is it so hard to get to the truth when dating and relating? What can we objectively do to be part of the solution instead of the problem? How can we get more truth in the workplace...with our co-workers and even our bosses? Why are people in general often more comfortable with the lie than the truth these days? Get all the truth you can handle when you visit https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Love Freedom - MTP345 Mar 03, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Michael Lassen (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/lovefreedom) Deep-thinker Michael Lassen returns for a third time to the show, this time with bold new thoughts on how we as men should prioritize love and freedom in order to live fuller lives, and enjoy fuller and better relationships with women. After all, if you are truly free and have mastered love over fear, how can you possibly be anything but happier and better off? Sound simplistic...even reductionist? Well, Michael came prepared to explain everything. In his mind, it all starts with freedom combining with love in several key ways that most men never even get around to thinking about. For example, what if our attachment to outcomes we hope for is really fear-based, and perhaps keeping us from an even better outcome we don't foresee coming? What if we had the freedom to allow that better outcome to happen? And what if you could focus on what you love in a way that actually gives you more freedom to combine multiple elements for even greater satisfaction in life? Next, listen in as Michael gives whole new meaning to 'eliminating the grey areas'. Could the word 'change' really be too restrictive, if what we really strive for is true freedom? What concept makes more sense instead? And above all, how does freedom intersect with love to not only make you better with women, but have women love and appreciate you even more than ever before?

The Future Of Men And Women Together - MTP344 Feb 24, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Cyndi Olin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/create) My guest is dating coach for women extraordinaire Cyndi Olin, who is returning for the second time...even though it feels like about the 80th. You see, back when Clubhouse was a flash in the pan, Cyndi and I hosted a weekly room called Dogs And Cats Living Together. We covered just about every controversial topic you could think of when it comes to men and women relating and getting along. So in the spirit of the old Blues Brothers movie, it was time to get the band back together. And picking up where we left off at Clubhouse, this show is all about the future of men and women relating together. I kicked things off by asking Cyndi to shout out the first issues that come to mind for her, which had the expected result of taking this show in unexpected and entertaining directions. What do you know? She immediately brought up the radical idea of slowing relationship momentum down in a world that seems to be on fast-forward these days. And romance? Yes, she dared bring THAT one up as well. Why do we 'wolf down' relationships and sex when we do nothing of the sort when it comes to, say, enjoying a nice dinner or going to the movies? Is stay-at-home porn replacing going out on dates? Whatever happened to connection? Could it be that the 'new school' of dating and relating will actually be more like the 'old school' version? Is that a good thing? More tips and strategies for getting better with women--and a whole lot more--are always found at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Making Peace Leads To Making Love - MTP343 Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Doug Noll (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/noll) It's not uncommon for us as men to imagine ourselves as warriors. But the wisest warriors know a valid war isn't about the fighting, it's about the peace at the end. Even soldiers are often tasked as peacekeeping forces. Popular guest Doug Noll returns to discuss how we as men are actually at our best when we're peacemakers. This guy works in maximum security prisons teaching murderers how to be exactly that, with great success...so you know he's on to something. Indeed, Doug hits the ground running with a full-scale explanation of why violence is perhaps the least evolved of possible masculine responses. And when it comes to keeping peace with the women in your life, wait until you hear Doug explain his genius concept of 'listening your girlfriend into existence'. Then, hang in there for Doug's explanation of how another concept can help propel your career as well as your relationships with others, including women. Next, what are the fascinating ways your hormones and body chemistry contribute to building rapport, decreasing aggression and fomenting peace? A lot of this is about negotiating skill, which is POWERFUL. Nevertheless, to completely throw a scientific wrench in the works, listen in as Doug explains what he thinks of Stephen Covey's strategic habit of 'thinking win/win'.

Co-Host Dom Brightmon (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/dom) It's a well-established concept that making other people feel cool is exactly what makes people think you're a cool guy. Well, above and beyond the sheer entertainment value of spending some time with Dom, the beauty of this episode is how we talk about taking that idea to the next level.

How does the all-important concept of self-awareness intersect with all of this? And perhaps most importantly of all, how do any or all of these ideas get you to the next level with women? Obviously, it's nice to be a woman's favorite man, for sure. One of the very best parts of this show is how clearly Dom walks his talk.

What Dating Is Like For Attractive Women - MTP371 Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://www.deservewhatyouwant.com) It seems to everyone paying attention that beautiful women enjoy a massive 'halo effect'. It's like they're treated like celebrities--or even royalty--everywhere they go. But what else is going on there? What's it REALLY like to be a sexy, attractive woman out there in the dating world? Well, in my decidedly un-biased opinion, Emily is exactly the right female human being to offer first-hand perspective on all of this. First, off, we talk about how there are two kinds of women...those who rely on their looks, and those who see the bigger picture. What's life like for each? Do women look for reasons to 'reject' men? And what's it like to have to put almost everyone in the JBF Zone? What do truly attractive women really think when a man compliments them? (Hint: it might not be what you were told by the PUA community) Could it really be true that the hotter a woman is, the LESS she gets asked out (even if she's 'hit on' more)? Do women really enjoy their ability to 'get laid' by almost anyone, anytime...or is that only how men think? What is the BIGGEST problem beautiful women face when dating? What's the real-world social difference between childhood beauty queens and late bloomers? Are there women who don't realize they're beautiful? Why do some women burn through a cycle of commitment phobic men, while others get proposed to early and often? What about women who weaponize their looks...how does that work? And what's the deal with 'self-made sexy women'? What does that even mean? So sure, attractive women may have the power in dating...but do they WANT it? What happens when they meet a chooser instead of another chaser? Get all the free stuff you can handle, and talk to me for FREE when you visit https://mountaintoppodcast.com

The State Of Online Dating - MTP340 Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

Co-Host Nick Sparks (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/sparks) Nick Sparks is one of the OGs in the men's dating space, so he and I have known each other and respected each other's work for, wow...fifteen years now. So when Nick started a series of Facebook posts singing the praises of online dating and apps in THIS day and age, it caught my attention...and raised my eyebrows. Nevertheless, fully realizing Nick typically knows what he's talking about, I invited him onto the show for a friendly debate on the current state of meeting women online. Right off the bat, I'm happy to report this conversation does not disappoint. What are YOU guys reporting to me, compared to the reports NICK is getting? And since Nick is single right now, what is his personal experience like these days? What are the pros and cons of meeting women online compared to meeting them IRL? How many of them are recent developments, and how many are basically the same as they've ever been? What changes have the developers of dating sites and apps made that may or may not benefit themselves more than their users? Discover which app both Nick and I agree is unquestionably the best one right now...and the one we both say to steer clear of. Now that said, Nick and I differ considerably when it comes to our respective opinions on Bumble. So is Bumble's policy of women messaging first a problem or an opportunity? What do those women on Bumble really mean when they ask, 'What are you looking for?' In the end, you'll find out how much Nick and I actually agree on vs. 'agreeing to disagree', but one fact is certain...if you want to meet women online, this episode will be an instant help to you. Let's face it, people are being social again and it's time for YOU to meet more women. Talk to me for free when you get on my schedule at https://mountaintoppodcast.com
