The Mountain Top For Men (formerly The Chick Whisperer):

It may sound like we're opening a can of worms, and we are. But we're going there anyway. This is the show where we finally cover the hot-button issue of sexuality in the workplace. It took a while, but I found the perfect guest to help me hit it with a big, heavy hammer. Bobbi Bidochka hails from Montreal and is the author of Sexual Intelligence In Business. There's a lot to like about Bobbi's outlook on life. First of all, even though she's immersed in gender studies on a daily basis, she detests the current culture of man bashing. She's also as honest as it gets when it comes to fully acknowledging that men and women are going to be attracted to each other at work, possibly date, and maybe even screw in the boss' office after hours. So how does she reconcile all of that with the typical advice about 'the pen and the company ink'? What do women usually have figured out about those HR sexual harassment seminars that most men don't? Can you avoid sexual harassment scandals without squashing all opportunities to meet potential partners and build relationships? What do you do if your female co-worker is so sexy she's literally NSFW? Is she flirting with you to TRAP you? How did Andrew Cuomo mess up, and should it scare the hell out of us? Here's the deal...we as human beings are sexual creatures, sex is probably the most powerful force in the universe, and there's no getting around that. Your sexual energy is not only going to work with you in the morning, it may be what gets you promoted. Is that a bad thing? Wait until you hear how sex and neuroscience can help you be more productive and creative.

Like me, Robbie Kramer has been teaching men about how to get better with women since way back in the pickup era. But nowadays, he is in a great relationship with a high-quality woman, who he happened to meet overseas. Indeed, Robbie says his skills with women really picked up when he 'took his game on the road'. Yes...this episode is all about how to be a single man who achieves global dating domination and eventually finds love abroad. We kick things off, however, with fun stories from the PUA era punctuated by some key points that differentiate men who do well with women from those who continuously struggle. After that, we talk about the difference between 'home game' and 'away game', including language barriers, cultural differences and a whole lot more. Is your accent helping or hurting you with women in other countries? What's up with all of those creepy 'sex tourist' guys? What are some fast and easy ways to authentically attract women in other countries? You'll also discover Robbie's genius hack for enabling and affording extended trips abroad without having to give up everything you've worked so hard for back at home. Be sure to stick around 'til the end for a 'lightning round' of underrated and overrated countries for meeting beautiful women. Wherever in the world you want to meet the kind of women you really want, get on my calendar for free so we can talk about how to set that plan in motion for you.

My guest this week is a private investigator. Sure, countless TV shows and movies have romanticized his profession, but what is it really about? After years in law enforcement and working for the DEA, Larry Forletta has become a wise and sensible voice on how to maintain personal safety and security as a man. Although it thankfully doesn't happen often, life can throw sudden challenges at us that elicit a 'fight or flight' response. How do you know which option to take? And if it's time to fight, how can you be better prepared for action on a split-second's notice? What if firearms are involved? Also, what are the more subtle but mission-critical ways we as men need to keep our heads up so as to maintain a 'safe perimeter', not only for ourselves, but also for our loved ones? You'll discover some down-to-earth and sensible advice that will transform your sense of personal security immediately, along with some truly ninja tips discovered over the course of Larry's full career in law enforcement and the DEA. How does protecting our loved ones enter into all of this? And where can unexpected threats theoretically come from in our otherwise normal lives? Oh, and what is a man to do when the threat comes from a woman...even his significant other herself? Stay tuned for the up front and shame-free conversation on that you've been searching everywhere for. Spring is happening before you know it, and more states are opening up. Are you ready to meet all the women who are eager to socialize again? Be more prepared than 99 percent of all other men will be, starting with a free 25-minute call with me personally.

The 'dance of attraction' is a common theme. So how are dancing and attraction integrally related, anyway? It's important to get down to the bottom of this because women LOVE dancing, but most of us as men not so much. Why is that? Well, given how much we are missing out on by being 'wallflowers', I needed the right expert co-host for this all-important discussion. My returning guest Jennifer Rhodes is not only a dance enthusiast, she's a world traveler, having recently spent time enjoying the Tango culture of Argentina. She has great stories to tell as she articulates exactly what it is about dancing that's so seductive, and why you as a man should absolutely go for it. So how much allure does a man have who will dance with women? What is it about dancing in particular that wakes up and ignites a woman's feminine nature? Is it as powerfully attractive as, say, being funny or playing the guitar? Do women really 'dance like nobody is watching'? And once and for all...is dancing really a metaphor for sex? Should we be worried if some guy who is an amazing dancer 'cuts in' with our girlfriend? Practically speaking, if a man wants to finally get up and go dancing with women, where does he start? Which styles of dancing are best...salsa, bachata, tango, line dancing, swing, ballroom? What about kizomba? And good grief...how is anybody supposed to go dancing at all while COVID is still going on?

It seems like we've gotten to the point nowadays where it's almost dangerous to disagree with someone, especially online. Despite more access to information than ever before, people in general decide what they believe, find their 'tribe' and conclude everyone else is just straight-up wrong. If you find yourself on the other side of the opinion spectrum, you're at best excluded from the conversation, and at worst insulted or even 'canceled' altogether. As a result, more and more people are consorting only with like-minded folks and keeping quiet around everyone else. Obviously, this has created a deeply divisive social environment that tests the boundaries of free speech itself. The very first amendment to The Constitution is about free speech for good reason, so we've got to do something about the current state of communications between fellow citizens...right? I mean, on top of all the idealistic reasons why we should rediscover how to handle our differences, there's the purely logistical matter of it being unreasonable to expect we'll never again encounter anyone with a different viewpoint. Isn't there any other means by which to discern one's character as a human being than who they vote for? What's more, many guys are reporting that women in particular are harder to get along with than ever for us as men. In this episode, My guest Nick Reed and I cover how to navigate all of the sometimes mine-laden paths to clearer, more civil and yes...more productive discussions with people we don't necessarily agree with. If, however, you can agree it's time to get the right woman in your life, I'm right there with you. Let's talk about a plan to make that happen for you.

His name is Dr. Peter McGraw, and he's indeed quick on the draw. He has to be, considering he's quite literally a professor specializing in the psychology of humor, and the director of the Humor Research Lab (aka HuRL) at University of Colorado at Boulder. By now we all know how making women laugh is a legitmate superpower when it comes to charming and attracting them. And yes, you can get the job done by helping women have fun, but there's something about a man who knows how to craft legit humor that absolutely mesmerizes them. Yet, most of us can count on one hand the number of men we know who have developed such a skill and have incorporated it to the level of 'unconscious competence'. Why is that? Well, for starters, the idea of what 'funny' really is and how it works is completely esoteric to most people. It's as if you either get it or you don't. Well, upon listening to this remarkably practical (and yes, funny) episode, the joke will no longer be on you. Listen as Peter and I equip you with real-world knowledge and action steps to transform you into a virtual laugh factory in your own right. And worry not...this isn't about becoming some kind of performing puppet or dancing monkey. You're about to gain the foundation to being irresistibly fun to women while subcommunicating all the right messages about who you are as a masculine man who exudes personal power. Do you have the right woman in your life yet? If not, that's indeed no joke. My coaching program combines both strategic and tactical elements to deliver an objective result--living the dream with the kind of woman you've always known you deserve.

Over the past year, COVID has wrought widespread social isolation and loneliness. We've sheltered in place and looked to social media and dating apps for potential connection with others. But that's at best an electronic substitute for real, human interaction, of course. Pete Bombaci is a human connection expert and head of the GenWell Project, a global connection movement based in Toronto. His mission is to inspire us to take action toward more and better face-to-face communication. Pete claims that real, live human connection is at least as important to our overall health as eating right or going to the gym. Yet, we as men tend to blow off our need for human interaction, as if we're too macho for that sort of thing. Well, it's time to get real with ourselves, as well as with the women who want so much for us to be there and present for them. Along the way, we discuss why people in big cities often feel most isolated, the sneaky and unexpected effects of COVID social isolation, and the surprising way that less is sometimes more in the midst of all this. But is it that our 'meet women' muscles have truly atrophied throughout this past year, or are we simply in the throes of wholesale societal change...be it for better or worse? No matter what, you can get yourself back into 'meet women' shape and establish your own 'new normal'. It all starts with a free 25-minute phone call with me personally that you can schedule at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

As goes the bedroom, so goes the bedroom...at least that's what my guest on this episode believes. Delora Guignon is the founder of Mindsex Mastery, and she says the very same sexual energy that propels the women in your life to multiple orgasms is what causes certain men to be wildly successful financially and reach the pinnacle of their career. In this fast-paced and often riotously entertaining episode, you'll discover how both 'get rich quick' and 'get laid quick' usually don't work, and why the pickup artist movement had such a hard time figuring that out. Meanwhile, what exactly does this all-conquering sexual energy look like? What are the practical features of it? Do all those angry political people on Twitter just need to get laid? Why is it Delora can tell who's having great sex and who isn't just by asking them three questions? Contrary to popular belief, why are so many rich guys so lonely? How does the compliance vs. willingness factor enter into all of this? And what are the practical steps to mastering our sexual energy in a way that translates to financial and business success? Could it be possible that all of this is once again tied to self-worth and self-image? And wait a minute...what if you encounter a woman who's ravenously sexy to you, but whose sexual energy is somewhat...off? What do you do? Get what you want in 2021, including the right woman in your life. It's all there for you, starting with a free 25-minute call with me to discuss your plan of action.

The American Dream is often thought of as being all about achieving, acquiring and outperforming. Bigger, faster, better, more, more more. Indeed, when John D. Rockefeller was once asked how much money is enough, his answer was, 'just a little more'. My guest this time is Robert Althuis, author of Never Enoughitis, who has long since recognized how all of this is really just one big psychological trap. His mission is to redirect us from the treadmill of endless expectations regarding achievement and acquisitions and on to something much more fulfilling. Now, it may be true that you may have already risen above the need for '80s style 'conspicuous consumption' or keeping up with the Joneses. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. Many of us grew up with parents who pushed us to succeed, and 2nd place or a B+ wasn't an option. Meanwhile, in the midst of the ratrace, we never actually get to do what we really want. We grow up never satisfied, even though we keep trying harder and harder. Are we doomed to this cycle of outlandish expectations and unreasonable self-judgment? What is the better, more reasonable option, and why should we even bother to investigate such a different path? Well, the raw truth is your health, relationships, self-worth and even your very happiness itself are all at stake...all at a time in history where the stakes couldn't be higher. What do you give the man who has everything? How about his LIFE back. If this is indeed the time in your history to refocus on what's truly important to you, and find the right woman to share it all with, schedule your 'results in advance' call with me for free at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Have you noticed how edgy and snippy people in general have been lately? There has been a lot of fear and turmoil over the past nine months or so, culminating in a particularly rough couple of weeks, and it has begun to wear on even the most stoic among us as men. So what in the world are we to do about that? And what if we found ourselves angry way too often even before 2020 descended upon us? Well, my guest Dr. Ron Potter-Efron is in my estimation the world's foremost expert on the topic of anger management. He claims anger is one of the top reasons why men go to a therapist, in stark contrast to the typical reasons why women do. It's no joke how many men seem to go through life fuming and snarling over just about any and everything that happens, even if it's something minor. We instinctively know such a mental state is intrinsically unattractive to women, yet we slip into fury and lose our temper anyway. What's up with that? And what's the difference between righteous indignation and the kind of anger that classifies as 'toxic'? What are the classic situations that really anger us as men, and how can we see them coming and address them properly? What is the dangerous relationship between anger and disgust? And what's the deal with anger due to hate? How do shame and guilt affect how angry we get? Why do we as men love angry music so much? Most of all, what's the one question we must always ask whenever we're angry? Never has there been a more timely discussion on this show, and never one with more potentially imminent life-changing possibilities.

Co-Host Zach Schleien (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/filteroff) My guest is the founder of an innovative new app that enables video speed dating. That means there's nobody better to join me for an all-important conversation on how to get past the dating frustrations of 2020 and on to the bold new world of 2021. In proper fashion, we kick it all off with a post mortem on 2020 dating and relating, including some eyebrow raising opinions with regard to what people out there have really been thinking and doing for the last year. But then it's on to the here and now. Will COVID continue to loom large well into this year? Will the vaccine change anything? Whether or not that's the case, will people's attitudes (and actions) change regardless? What is the idea behind video speed dating, and how is it different and more effective than the much-maligned OG version? Are there really benefits of meeting women over video as opposed to real-life, or is that just an excuse? Does this new paradigm stand any chance of replacing the dreaded dating apps? What are the killer strategies for early adopters of video dating? What are the chances we'll face yet another string of hardcore rejection by embracing video speed dating? And most of all, as the pandemic rages what do we do if we actually match up with real women online? Is it advisable to meet in real life, or should we still shelter in place and keep it virtual? Stay tuned for surprising and at times hilarious answers to these questions and more. Meanwhile, my new pledge to you is you'll receive bona-fide 'results in advance' when you talk to me free for 25-minutes. Get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Well, two podcasts dropping on two holidays in a row means it's a moral imperative to have Emily back on again, especially since 2020 has finally drawn to a close and it's time to address 2021. What will the 'new normal' look like insofar as dating and relationships go? How soon until we can actually get there? What unexpected surprises might be in store for all of us, whether we're currently in a relationship or looking forward to getting into one? What can be observed from past pandemics and applied to the current dating situation? What are the perhaps untold truths about how men and women have been relating together all along for the last nine months? And what about some real-world strategies for making damn skippy sure 2021 is far better than 2020? How much of that is really within our control, anyway? Are we really going to be doomed to endless suggestions for 'Zoom dating'? Where can our source of optimism come from in a world where many believe it's as bad as it gets and won't get better anytime soon? Well, if you're going to favor an optimistic viewpoint, you're going to need a plan to bounce back. You don't have to go it alone.

Last week on this very show I said out loud that I had never met anyone in a happy relationship who was miserable. That concept is worth a deeper discussion, and who better to have it with than the very woman I'm in a happy relationship with? Now obviously, one can be perfectly happy without being in any relationship at all, for sure. But right out of the gate, Emily floats several more complicated scenarios; asking if someone can be happy despite a miserable relationship, if miserable people necessarily get into equally miserable relationships, or if two people miserable in the same way can somehow contort themselves into their mutually-agreeable form of bliss together. But first things first. We define 'misery' in clear terms, then call out the 'elephant in the room' with regard to whether COVID lockdowns have wrought more relationship misery even among typically happy couples. What about couples who argue constantly, aren't they inherently miserable...or not necessarily? What happens when people who love drama get into relationships...does misery always ensue? Does relationship misery have to be a permanent state, or does it ebb and flow? Can it be cured completely? Can two miserable people alleviate each other's misery by finding love together? What are some practical ways people unwittingly doom their relationships to misery? And the biggest question of all...what twisted mindsets in today's post-modern world are contributing to record rates of relationship misery? Meanwhile, does dorkiness stave off misery? Well, after the dust clears from this crazy episode, the one certainty is that YOU don't want to end up in a miserable relationship yourself.

I told Emily I was having the guy from Origin on my show, and she responded, 'War Engine? What's that?' Well, I got someone who is arguably just as cool. I'm joined by none other than Pete Roberts, host of the Hands and Daylight podcast and leader of the pack over at Origin. What you'll notice first about Pete is he's an all-around good dude who is clearly proud to be a man and walks the walk. We tackle the subject of everyday masculinity, meaning the little things we as men do--or should be doing--on a consistent basis. For starters, discover the mindset that mature, evolved men know is foundational to manhood, yet which young men almost always exhibit the exact opposite of...even as they think they're more macho by doing so. Next, how does a man handle daily interactions with both women AND other men, including over social media? Then I share my personal lesson from a Navy SEAL on how to be more of a man in the most subtle but powerful of ways. Is it true that if you don't have the capacity to be violent, you're harmless? What are the little things that make a man a true father to his kids every day? How do boundaries enter into daily life, including the balance between work, family and leisure time? What should a man do when he inevitably messes up sometimes? And of course, we get around to talking about men's health and how easy it is for us to neglect it.

In the last episode we talked in depth about the concept of self-awareness. This time, we turn our attention to the idea of self-worth. Obviously, this is all about how much value we assign to ourselves and is closely tied to self-respect. My guest is Kamini Wood, who as a mother of five knows the struggle is real to find time in life for self-ANYTHING. Nevertheless, she has given tons of thought to this topic and has arrived at the conclusion that most of us basically do the equivalent of outsourcing our self-worth. So what does that even MEAN, exactly? What other areas of self-evaluation and reflection is it tied to? How do particularly smart and/or analytical guys struggle? What can we do to guard against feeling like a Lone Ranger in the midst of all of this self-worth stuff? And what is the right way and the wrong way to involve others, lest we indeed not outsource our own self-worth? Why do men struggle so much with 'strong vulnerability', therefore suffering through tough patches that could have been alleviated or even bypassed altogether? Are we necessarily outsourcing our self-worth to someONE else, as opposed to someHOW or someTHING else? What influences the self-worth of truly successful men as opposed to the mediocre masses? And perhaps most devastating of all, how are we handing over our self-worth when we approach, meet and relate to women? Plan on powerful insights all around, and even a rare lacrosse reference.

My guest is Marine Corps Lt. Colonel Ann Bernard, who as head of 365 Firsts currently advocates for getting out of our infamous comfort/familiarity zones to try new and exciting adventures. Interestingly enough, she says much of our wherewithal in that regard comes from self-awareness. Now, I fully realize 'self-awareness' is one of those terms that may mean different things to different people, but in this episode you're in for one of the clearest and most direct descriptions of it ever. In addition to finding out the practical elements of it, you'll discover the symptoms of lacking self-awareness...and how a scary amount of guys don't even realize they do (which makes sense, if you think about it). So then, is this all related to identity, maturity and some of the other concepts we talk about frequently around here or is it something else completely? Can you actually have too much self-awareness? I mean, wouldn't that lead to self-consciousness (which is different!) and hyper-analysis issues? And on that note, what is the difference between self-awareness and self-concept? How is self-awareness related to the all-important element of confidence? Why is self-awareness a must for attracting women? How should we deal with 'haters'? What is so important about trying new things for the first time? How does all of this make us both better listeners AND better storytellers?

When you get right down to it, if you're on a team your coaches and your cheerleaders have something important in common. They're both on your side, and they both want you to win. So it's really no wonder that a former Phoenix Suns cheerleader like my co-host Bee Evans would go on to become a professional coach. More specifically, Bee is a resilience coach, and one of her biggest soapboxes is 'tearing out the tags'. What's up with the human tendency to slap a label on everything and everyone? I mean, do face-value assertions and preconceived notions really serve the greater good? You can imagine the sneaky effect this kind of psychology has wrought upon relationships between men and women, let alone everyone else. Well, this episode's discussion starts with a disarming look at how Bee views her time with the Phoenix Suns nowadays compared to how she did in the moment, and it'll be no surprise that it has plenty to do with public stereotype versus objective reality. That leads to an eye-opening discussion of how we as men often place attractive women into some rather unattractive boxes, and Bee has some encouraging truth for all of us. On top of that, women tend to categorize themselves in plenty of self-limiting ways in their own right. But let's not kid ourselves, so do we as men. How does that affect our success with women? And how do all of us re-apply tags and labels to both ourselves and others as life unfolds in unexpected ways? Speaking more about tags and labels, get ready to discover how people's intentions don't necessarily have everything to do with how they classify us--or even themselves. And stay tuned for Bee's GOLDEN advice on how to intrigue and attract the most beautiful women. Here's the bottom line: in today's world of knee-jerking social media frenzy, intentions often don't match up with perceptions...and reality can seem an even more distant concept. Bee's mission is to bridge that gap in a world that could really use it. Have you talked to me for 25-minutes free yet? Sign up today and get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

With the recent passing of Sir Sean Connery, there couldn't be a better time to celebrate the rich legacy of Ian Fleming's James Bond, particularly as played by the OG himself. We begin with a brief discussion of Connery's legacy of smooth, debonair masculinity on film, which despite his perhaps ironic off-screen issues with women in real life stands as nothing short of iconic. So if you've never seen a Sean Connery Bond flick, where should you start? And why even watch at all? I mean, what can we gain by studying the persona of Connery's 007, from his 'alpha' demeanor to his calm, cool and collected style with women? What are the takeaways from that for our real lives, meeting and interacting with real women? Is it feasible to actually live like James Bond, even if only on some levels...and only part way? And what is it about Connery's Bond in particular that is so magnetic to women? Speaking of women, what makes 'Bond Girls' in particular so exotic, alluring and downright desirable? And on the other hand, is James Bond even 'boyfriend material'? Perhaps the most fun is had toward the end of this episode, where Bruce and I talk about Bond villains, particularly the infamous Ernst Blofeld. What makes him so slimy and, well...the opposite of attractive to women? It couldn't be that he's a cat lover, could it? Why not find your own mystique, and transform your fortunes with women in the process. It all starts with a 25-minute intro call. Get on my schedule for free at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Well, now I've done it. I went and got a creativity coach as a guest co-host. His name is Jeff Leisawitz from Seattle, and you're in for a show that's guaranteed by its very nature to be fun, entertaining AND interesting. To start off, we all know it's not exactly easy to simply be creative at the drop of a hat. Therefore, we define creativity in, well...some truly creative terms. That quickly leads us to the sobering conclusion that despite what many think, creativity isn't really an optional 'luxury item'. It's absolutely integral to a life well-lived. But fear not, Jeff has an elegant way to tune your mind up for greater levels of creativity...all centered around one basic mindset shift. Here's a hint: plenty of us need to have a more creative vision of creativity itself. Is it really true there's no such thing as an original thought? What is it that separates mere talent from truly legendary status? And on a far less lofty level, how does Jeff coax guys to start thinking 'out of the box' for once? What happens when crisis hits and we're forced out of our comfort-familiarity zone and into creative mode? It seems like there's one big hurdle virtually everyone has to clear first, and we'll call it out. And here's a good question...is creativity feminine in nature? And speaking of women, how does your creativity directly contribute to living the exciting life that inevitably attracts women? Feel like it's time to think out of the box for yourself and come up with new and creative ways to get the right woman into your life?

The idea for this episode on dying well--or dying gallantly and with dignity, if you will--has been on my radar screen for quite a while. The issue was finding the right guest to make it as powerful a show as it deserves to be. Enter my new friend Larry Indiviglia. First off, Larry is a United States Naval Academy graduate, so he knows plenty about duty, honor and sacrifice. On top of that, however, he had the particularly notable experience just this year of meeting a woman who was dying of cancer, falling in love, and being by her side until the very end. He has written a book about that experience, and in this show shares his unique and powerful thoughts of a life well-lived to the very last breath. So for starters, what exactly does it mean to die well? Despite the archetypal theme of going out in a blaze of glory, is that reasonable--or even possible? Why are such themes in stories like Gran Torino and Breaking Bad so incredibly fascinating and alluring to us as men? Is it necessarily true that we die alone, or can others around us contribute to a life well ended? What are the powerful and perhaps unexpected factors that present themselves when we know we have a limited time left? How can our minds play tricks on us in devious ways as we fantasize about our own deaths? Is that even healthy? Did Tim McGraw get it right when he exhorted us to 'live like we're dying'? We'll even tackle perhaps the scariest question of all on this subject...how to die well if your body or even your mind betrays you in old age. John Donne may have noted centuries ago that the bell will toll for thee, but he also penned 'death be not proud'. In the stunning conclusion to this particularly unforgettable and powerful episode, will spell out exactly what that means. Make the most of the one life we're given and invite the greatest woman you've ever met to join you. Talk to me for free when you get on my schedule at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Get ready for an empowering, uplifting show at precisely the time in history when we could all use it. My long-time friend and all-around nice lady Iris Benrubi joins me to talk about personal power. In particular, we're revealing and discussing those little hidden places in your life where you can actually DO something. But to start off, we wonder aloud why so many people seem to actively want to retreat into victimhood, despite the negative impact that has on confidence and self-esteem. It's no wonder that the idea of personal agency all starts with figuring out what we actually want and how to get it, right? And is it true you're going to end up exactly like your parents, no matter what? Could it be true that doing the exact opposite of what you're conditioned to could be just as disempowering as simply falling in line with groupthink? How does the tangle between opportunity and consequences affect our psychological mindset? Do we really have to hit rock bottom and lose all that makes us comfortable before bouncing back in a way that's truly in alignment with our hopes and dreams? Next, discover how there are two ways most men are handling the COVID-19 crisis. Which guy are you? What is the secret to deriving strength from life situations that would wither others? How can you begin to feel truly powerful at attracting and interacting with women, even if you've gone your entire life thus far without? And how can you acquire the power to get the RIGHT woman in your life, once and for all? Let's talk 25 minutes for free about how to get you to the next level in your career, lifestyle and--of course--in your relationships with women. Get on my calendar at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Okay, here it is. We don't talk about marriage very often on this show. Simply put, it's a topic that tends to polarize the audience. Nevertheless, you really can't expect to cover all of the bases when it comes to dating and relationships without ever addressing it. Enter my guest Amy Schoen, who specializes in the field of marriage readiness. Together she and I decided that a particularly fun and useful angle would be to talk about what it means to be 'marriage material'. Now, to be sure this pretty much aligns with the concepts of 'boyfriend material' and 'girlfriend material'. So then, this show offers equal opportunity visibility into what indicates long-term potential for either a man or a woman. Interestingly enough, even when women aren't particularly looking for a serious relationship, they still tend to be super-attracted to men with qualities that indicate long-term potential. Perhaps weirdly, that is even often the case when they're looking for a quick fling. So do I have your attention yet? What you're about to hear is all-important for any man who want's to enjoy greater success with women. Count on a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and tips that over-deliver...turning you into a veritable magnet for feminine attraction. Fall is here, and the world is opening up. Talk to me free for 25 minutes about how to create your own 'new normal', featuring the most fulfilling relationships with women ever. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

My guest is best known for his work on introversion, but the topic of this show is sure to hit the target regardless of your personality type. At its essence, it's all about how to be influential. So what's the right way and the wrong way to do that? I mean, isn't attention seeking for insecure, needy guys and self-promotion for douches? And hold on...isn't this whole desire to be seen, known, remembered somewhat narcissistic at its very core? Well, none of that is necessarily true. That can only mean there's an altogether better and more effective way to be truly memorable, which Nick and I discuss in sometimes alarming, at times unexpected, but always encouraging detail. And let's not kid ourselves. Even if you're not entirely motivated to conquer the world and leave your mark on a grand scale, that relatively low-key lifestyle you're content with may even be at risk if you fail to be influential in any measurable way. So then, what are the first outward steps to having more of an impact on those around us? Prepare to be amazed by how simple, easy and non-threatening this and the ensuing steps really are...and how major the social payoff for following them really is. And most importantly of all, of course, what does this all have to do with being a 'big four' man who attracts women as effectively as he can?

Everyone has heard about how men have a feminine side and women a masculine one. How true is that? And if it's the case, how does the concept typically manifest itself? Is it a good thing, or is it something we would be better off minimizing the effects of? And wait a minute...are the traits and behaviors that we somewhat automatically consider masculine or feminine really such, or are they simply human? What if all of this is just a social construct to begin with? But what if it isn't? Then what? Does that change the whole perspective? I mean, if masculinity is 'toxic' as we're led to believe nowadays, why are so many women trying to act like men? What if we all migrated toward the feminine instead? But can't there be such a thing as 'toxic femininity' in that case? After all, is femininity always 'soft' and inherently innocuous? And what of the idea that masculine dominance is sexy to women...how can that be? How come there are tomboys but no such thing as a tomgirl? What do single moms have to do with all of this? Stay tuned for the trait we've never really considered feminine before, but just might be...and we make a solid case for it. But all the while we're the same couple of dorks you know and love, who may or may not have knocked back a couple before hitting 'record' on this episode. Find the right relationship or dramatically improve the one you're already in. It all starts with a phone visit with us, free for 25 minutes. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Fresh off of his Oval Office interview with The President, author and editor of America's 1st Freedom Magazine Frank Miniter returns to the show for a deep dive into how to rise above all the fearmongering going on in today's media. As Kipling wrote, a real man keeps his head when all about him are losing theirs, and this episode gets to the heart of that matter. To begin with, what exactly is it that's driving a culture of non-stop fearmongering these days? Can it really be only about the election...and will it therefore stop after November 3rd? What decidedly human element is nearly always lacking in a culture of fearmongering, yet acts as the perfect antidote for it? How can you be a flat-out disruptive force against rampant fear right now in a way that will make women love, love, love you for it? And how about fear itself...what is it? Is it binary? Should we learn how to deal with it and perhaps harness it, or eliminate it altogether? You'll hear what famous men of courage have said about that in the past. So what's the actual process to developing the habit of courage? And what's the real-world payoff for doing so? The even better question is what are the syndromic consequences to our manhood if we don't? Also, what can we do to recognize even subtle fearmongering and act accordingly before we're entrapped by it? Stay tuned for the absolute silver bullet for staying out of the fearmongering fray, and the proper response to fear-based trolls.

Far too much conversation nowadays has been reduced to ad hominem name calling, especially on social media. There's no question it's pedantic, anti-masculine and therefore decidedly unattractive to women. Nevertheless, it seems like emotions are running at a fever pitch and sober judgment is going out the window. In the midst of all that, how do we secure our rightful place as mature, civil men of character? And what can we do to reclaim it if we've found ourselves slipping lately? Well, my guest Ed Wynn is best known for his political commentary, but his latest book We The People gets to the heart of the subject du jour. So what's the best way to set the tone for a civil conversation from the very start? How can you guard against falling into the trap of sneaky internet trolls? Why is it people nowadays have turned everything political, are so dogmatic and judge different views so harshly? Has narrative-driven cognitive dissonance really replaced rational logic? Is it really possible to 'choose truth over facts'? How do refined, evolved men take personal responsibility and affect change in the world rather than either claiming victimhood and/or alienating everyone else in the process? Ultimately, it's all part of unraveling the mystery of why younger women love older men so much. Be a better man, get better women, enjoy a more fulfilling career and go on more magnificent adventures. It all starts with a free 25-minute phone call with me personally.

Let's face it, everything about the year 2020 thus far has compelled most people to hide in their homes for fear of going out in public. My guest today is the author of Live Great Lifestyle and The Lean Body Guide, and his number one battle these days is helping men just like you and I to stand up and get back out there. So then, we know the obvious reasons why so many of us have become homebodies these days, but what are the sneakier, more subtle ones? For starters, have you put on the 'lockdown 15' and want to get rid of it? What are some ways you can take back both your physical and psychological well-being? And how do you do that if you've lost your job, let alone have the time, money or wherewithal to figure out where to meet women nowadays? What if 2020 has delivered a major hit to your confidence in general? What kind of havoc does that wreak on your mental toughness...sometimes in dangerously subtle ways? How might this year be wearing on you such that you're less attractive to women? So what it really comes down to is, are you going to view 2020 as something that happened TO you, or something that happened FOR you? The good news is you still have about three and a half months to get it right. And yes, you can start by talking to me 1-on-1 about it.

My guest is one of those guys who had the grit and determination to go 'all in' on his dreams, laying it all on the line to become a pro basketball player. Even more fascinating is the story of how he eventually found his larger calling of empowering young athletes to greatness, while inspiring all of us to find our game and be at the top of it. Now, if you're like me, basketball isn't exactly your most marketable skill. But no worries, Dre Baldwin's message will motivate you to take your game to the next level, whatever it is. So for sure, we talk hoops some to get the show rolling, but you know how sneaky I am. It takes about a minute and a half before we're tying it all back to having the heart of a champion, overachieving and breaking apart any roadblocks standing in our way. That conversation had to start with none other than Mike, of course. What was it about MJ that was so transcendent in terms of redefining what it means to be at the top of one's game? As for Dre himself, how did he go from pro basketball player to motivational influencer? And how can you be at the pinnacle of your game, whatever it is...even if it's not basketball? Dre has four key principles for you. And of course, we talk at length about how all of this applies to improving your relationships to women...including Dre's surprising take on 'faking it 'til you make it', and the secret prerequisite to true confidence. Fall is here, and it's time for you to attract the right woman into your life. It all starts with a visit to https://mountaintoppodcast.com

When my guest Jed Jurchenko first got married, he assumed everything would go wonderfully because, well...that's how it's supposed to work, right? Little did he know he was in for a total train wreck. Emerging from that rocky first marriage, Jed sought to understand how to build a relationship around mutual trust, a sane mindset and solid communication skills. Indeed, it's not that couples won't ever disagree, but what is the best way to handle conflict when it arises? Well, for starters you'll discover the number one best philosophy for virtually eliminating hateful, spiteful arguments...and it might not be what you think. What's the best way to effectively resolve an argument, and how exactly do you know when it has indeed been resolved? What are examples of 'atomic bombs' that should be avoided at all costs during relational conflict? If you have a long history of being 'Mr. Nice Guy' in relationships, what are the ramifications of that? And how can you proactively guard against future arguments even as you go about your day-to-day relationship? What is the golden secret that makes arguing virtually impossible? Is it really all about communication, or is there a more foundational element that must be addressed first? Just for good measure, you'll hear the powerful phrase that really gets to the heart of the matter when things get crazy. Why do women resort to nagging their men, anyway? And obviously, we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about COVID-induced stress. 2020 is still rolling on. How are you doing? Take control over your 'new normal'.

What do you get when you have a guy who looks like Tyler Childers but talks with a Mid-Atlantic accent? Someone completely different than you're used to, and that's my main man and fellow dating coach for men Ryan Black. As it turns out, he and I are both getting asked the same question over and over nowadays, and that's how in the world to meet women given the present state of things. Well, you have questions, and we have answers...starting with a look at how the situation is both radically different from AND exactly the same as it ever was. How has the COVID-19 lockdown impacted our dating lives in unexpected ways? Speaking of which, how does wearing a mask really, truly affect approaching, meeting and attracting women? And more importantly, what do you DO about it? For sure, the pandemic isn't exactly over just yet, but what are the real reasons why women seem to be shying away from actually meeting in-person, even as the world has started opening back up? You can absolutely expect real, practical ways to start inviting more women in you life in the here and now, plus some bold predictions about what the near future may look like. By the way, how does online dating factor into all of this? Plus, get my hot take on who has the world's worst Twitter feed...by far. What will your 'new normal' look like when all the dust clears?

Returning guest Helena Nista is a sex therapist, tantra practitioner and author of Legendary Lover. She was a major hit with you guys the first time she was on due to her straightforward yet happy-go-lucky style, all the while absolutely free of shame while exuding pure class and femininity. That's a winning combination, so I invited her back this time to discuss how we as men should talk to women about orgasms...then actually give them all they can handle. What better place to start such a conversation than with the idea of 'mental foreplay'? Why is it that women can talk so naturally about sexual matters, yet most men freak out over it? Should we even talk about sex at all? Why not just make a move when the time is right? But wait a minute...when exactly IS the right time? Dial up the flirtation, thrill women to the moon and back, and make them come back for more. Helena spills all the secrets, and is as charming as ever as she does. And how about when we're actually in the bedroom? How can we guard against 'failing to deploy'? What different kinds of orgasms do women have, and how do we find out what they like? Also, discover how to turn even the most 'alpha' woman into a doe-eyed sex kitten. Is it true women instinctively want to pleasure us when we pleasure them? Plus, you'll be treated to a fascinating conversation about the almost supernatural elements of sexual pleasure that are rarely, if ever, talked about in the open (this even caught Helena off-guard). Fair warning...you may need a cold shower after this one, so take a deep breath before clicking 'play'. In order to improve your sex life, you have to have the right woman in it to begin with.

Can you believe we've never covered this topic in all the years of doing this show? But my guest Marcus Oakey from the UK is absolutely the right man for the job, given that he has been a professional charisma coach for over a decade now. So what is charisma, anyway? And why is it so elusive? Well, whatever it is, we can agree that those who exhibit it tend to do so effortlessly, or at least seemingly so. Are there different types of charisma? Can you fine-tune your persona to be uniquely charismatic? Is it possible to be charismatic without having to be the life of the party? What is 'The Unbreakable Law'? What's up with the term 'is-ness'? And what does Marcus mean by being in a constant state of 'maybe'? What is the key difference between power and strength? How do regular, normal people respond to an unusually charismatic social interaction in unexpected ways? And hold on...what's the difference between being socially advanced beyond most people and downright creepy? How do we get to that unconsciously competent level of 'is-ness' rather than 'outsourcing our thinking', as Marcus would put it? And most of all, how can we find the wherewithal to build our own charisma through changes in mindset and habits? Autumn is coming, and it's time to establish what your 'new normal' will be.

For the first time ever, I welcome two guests on the show at once. The Collinses (aka SiMalCo) are living proof of what happens when two people who are way too smart and educated for their own good find love together. They’re serial entrepreneurs, world travelers, polymaths and—most importantly for our purposes at hand—commenters on life, sex and relationships. So the topic du jour came to pass based on the idea expressed in their book of how humans use lures to attract a mate. Buckle up, because the pace of this episode is the fastest we’ve seen in a long time, and we cover an immense amount of ground...often hilariously. Why is dating like sales? (including a GOLDEN tip for up-and-coming salesguys) How does the ‘fishing expedition’ change when we’re after casual relationships vs. something long-term? Is luring someone primarily with physical attractiveness really a good strategy? Meanwhile, why do so many men get lured in and hooked by women they’re not even attracted to? If you can relate, this episode will get you ‘off the hook’. What was up with Simone’s ‘breakup deadline’? What does the ev psych idea of ‘sneaky f*uckers’ have to do with all of this? Plus...outgoing introverts, fishing online, and the Devil’s Threesome. Attract the right woman for you once and for all.

The truth is that being successful with women comes down in large part to learned skill. Some men have it, some don't...and even fewer are willing to fight for the right to acquire those skills. And there's no 'easy button'. Like me, my guest Darren Fuji wasn't exactly born with a the silver spoon of sexual attractiveness in his mouth. But he indeed has become an absolute machine with women over the years, culminating in his fantastic current relationship with a professional model. What clear advantages do most men have compared to most women in cultivating the skills of attraction? What are some of the big lies many men are told about their likelihood of becoming more attractive to women? And why do we now live in a society where everyone seems to want everything handed to them? Certainly the few and the proud will rise to the occasion of putting in the blood, sweat and tears to truly achieve in this life, but what are the perhaps unexpected rewards to doing so? What has laziness, lack of ambition and flat-out complacency done to the prospects for an optimistic 'new normal' from a social perspective? What about millennials...is their level of personal discipline and work ethic really below the standard set by previous generations? And by God, what must the old-timers from those previous generations think of ALL of us? Most of all, what can we do to grit out the tough first steps and establish real determination and work ethic in our lives, especially when it comes to getting a great woman?

I first found out about my guest when I stumbled across his recent conversation with Scott Adams of Dilbert fame. Hotep is an independent thinker who speaks his mind, while being able to back up every word of what he says with logical sense. He has a long history of serial entrepreneurship, marketing for high-profile performers and various other pursuits, but as it turns out his curious mindset has also led to a lot of thought on women and masculinity. So for starters, what's the key to staying sane and focused in the midst of the crazy news cycles we're confronted with these days? How does Hotep measure and evaluate all the information? Why is it nearly impossible to have a real, actual conversation on Twitter anymore? Hotep talks frequently about 'reading the room'...how does that pertain to expressing bold, authentic thought? Is getting news from so-called 'unbiased' sources really the way to get down to the bottom of what's going on in the world? How can we as men step up and be bold in the face of cancel culture? What is causing so many men to fear and even grow bitter toward women, and what is the cure? What is a 'nice guy's' real problem when it comes to women? Enjoy nonstop real talk on subjects most podcasts are afraid to touch...and it's all about mutual respect, empowering all of us to make a stand for our truth and what matters most to us.

Well, here we go...it's the long overdue show on sexy motherhood. And yes, I completely understand the very premise is up for debate. That's why I brought in the hottest mommy I know, none other than my wife Emily. Curiously enough, the first direction we went in was debating the 'dad bod' and 'mom bod' factor. Do we as men really desire that rail-thin supermodel body, or do many of us prefer a woman shaped more like she's had a baby or two? In addition to what they look like, how do hot moms really turn us on? Is how we act and carry ourselves as dads even more profound an issue when it comes to turning those hot moms on? And how about 'boy moms'...what's the deal with them, and why are they so cool? How does life experience and parental obligation contribute to a particular affinity between single moms and single dads? When the idealistic 'halo' of childless singlehood fades, is that actually a good thing for a budding relationship? Why do so many dating coaches for men warn against dating single moms? Does that advice apply equally to single dads? Are there actually men and women out there who prefer single parents, even if they don't have any kids themselves? And God help us...what's the deal with 'dad jokes' and the certain women who love them?

My guest Todd Kashdan is the guru of curiosity, having literally written the book on it. As a college professor, one would think he would count his fellow highly-educated people as naturally curious...but is it really always the case? How is being curious good for your social life and your attractiveness to women? What are the perhaps unexpected benefits of adopting a curious lifestyle? Meanwhile, is there a darker side of curiosity that few people ever dare to talk about? Moreover, is there a dark side of YOU that you should be more curious about? How is curiosity--or lack thereof--tied to stress levels? Can you actually point to objective trends in today's society that are stealing our curious nature away from us? And how have media outlets capitalized upon that to get clicks, build their audience and even further an agenda? How come kids don't seem to be as curious as they used to be, and how can we instill more curiosity within them? But is it even worth being so curious when we're never going to get all the answers as long as we live? Have you talked to me for 25 minutes FREE yet? Let's talk about your plan for greatness.

When his book Die Fat Or Get Tough came out, it told the truth about getting in shape that people weren't trying to hear. And that's really only one example of how Steve Siebold's work boldly addresses mental toughness in a visceral, yet engaging way that we as men can genuinely relate to. Since Steve's name came up on the show a couple of episodes ago, I reached out to him and decided to have him on to go over his latest work, along with some of his golden gems from past books. Have you ever noticed that whether it's in sports or in life, the one with the most mental toughness generally wins? Certainly, with all of the craziness happening in the world today, mental toughness is necessary just to hang in there. But what does having mental toughness even mean? And how does it directly affect your success on the field, in your career and yes...in your relationships with women? How does 'microwave thinking' defeat mental toughness? What does all of this have to do with financial success? In what ways are we being suckers in life, perhaps without even realizing it? How can mental toughness transform you into a master negotiator? What is the relationship between grit and mental toughness? How can we raise our kids to be gritty, and what makes mental toughness so crucial to successful relationships?

My guest co-host believes men not only are as emotional as women are, but it's important to our masculinity to feel deeply. Don't get that confused with being an 'emo' soy boy, however. For starters, GS describes what a heart-felt relationship with a modern woman who is strong yet feminine looks like. But wait...who is this 'strong woman' anyway, and what is she like? Whoever she is, she's only going to be powerfully attracted to a masculine man. So to that end, GS outlines three ways to be fully masculine without being an unemotional robot about it. How can we respond to women rather than merely reacting? What do women mean when they say they want a man who 'listens'? And what in the world is being 'emotionally available' all about? Why do women start nagging us? And what's even scarier in a relationship than that, although few of us even recognize it when it's happening? How does providing true safety to a woman contrast with the 'alpha model' of masculinity? How can men be emotional while still being conscious of how they're affecting feminine attraction and devotion? So do real men shed tears, or not? And what does that have to do with the larger question of how to be a man of depth?

So what's your personality type? Introverted? Extroverted? Thinking vs. feeling? Whatever...because my guest believes all the Enneagram and Myers-Briggs tests you have ever taken are only marginally better than the horoscope in the newspaper, at best. His ideas are positively iconoclastic, but he's done his homework and shares insights into developing your personality on YOUR terms that will make you stand up and cheer. The first place he drops the hammer is on the concept of personality versus identity. Are you really stuck being the person you've always been, even if you would really rather be someone different? I mean, what if 'just be yourself' isn't working? And furthermore, what if self-help doesn't work either? Does the 'body positive' crowd have your best interests at heart? Why exactly is it that people who lack vision are often so bored and depressed in the present? And on the other hand, how can our loftiest goals actually hamstring us from thriving? What happens when larger societal influences compel us to be a certain way or do certain things? How does 'learned helplessness' inhibit personal growth? How in the world are we supposed to figure ourselves out if we don't use standardized tests to guide us? And here's the clincher...how do our experiences with women shape our identity, and therefore our personality? Plus, even though I've been quiet about it until now, you'll get the story on how I shed over 50 pounds and reinvented my health.

It's been nearly twelve years, but Alex Allman of Revolutionary Sex is back to cover one of the most confounding subjects possible in the world of relationship advice. That's of course, true love. What is it? What does it mean to be 'in love'? Just importantly, what does it NOT mean? And when do you know you're actually there? Well, the truth is people may have different representations and definitions for true love, but there really is some substance to it...despite how nebulous and over-used the word itself is in the English language. Alex kicks the discussion off with some deep hippie stuff from the Grateful Dead, before carefully explaining how love isn't just something to aspire to, it's something you also build...and do. He's also careful to note the spiritual aspect of romantic love, even though what he says may not be what you're expecting. And you'll definitely not hear the same old jingoistic dating advice battle cries here. To that end, we define the difference between love and infatuation. We also talk about how to make sure who you throw your heart to is going to catch it without breaking it...assuming that's possible. Is true love really a 'ball and chain', or the opposite? How do masculinity and femininity--in combination with maturity--pave the way for true love to happen? What meta-level impact does solid self-esteem have on real love that goes the distance? Is love just as much about timing as it is finding the right person? We're living in difficult times, but you're not alone. Call me for 25-minutes free.

My co-host is a sought after social photographer in New York City whose work is featured in magazines. He has worked hundreds of weddings. This means he has seen how that many couples get along, all from a third-party perspective. Now, if you're expecting some sort of protracted 'bridezilla' rant here, you're in for a shock. Sure, couples experience a lot of stress when getting married, but can you really tell whether or not a couple has 'the right stuff' to go the long-haul simply by observing them through the wedding process? Are most guys Steven meets with the right woman for them? How long has the typical couple been dating before tying the knot? What percentage of them meet online these days? How often does it seem like the bride cares more about throwing a big wedding party than the actual man she's marrying? What are the differences between couples who are getting married for the first time vs. the second or third time? And are most guys punching above their pay grade? (how's that for a convenient conflation of two phrases?) By the way, why to we as men dislike getting our picture taken so much?

We've long since evolved from the caveman days, but has our inherent nature as sexual beings? My guest is international speaker, media personality and politico-spiritual thought leader Preity Uupala, who firmly believes most women reject the notion that 'they don't need a man'. She has a fresh, interesting way of speaking about masculinity and femininity, including the fascinating perception that there's often a fine line between the two even while being polar opposites. Find out exactly what she means by that, along with some eye-opening thoughts on why men and women often have such a hard time relating to each other. Why do women say they want a 'sweet, nice guy' when they really don't? And how profound is the importance of having a strong sense of identity as a man in order to help a woman truly feel safe with us? Preity thinks like a woman while thoroughly enjoying men. That leads to her completely unique syntax and thought formation as she travels down a different path to ultimately reach the very same destination I have when it comes to how masculinity and femininity relate to each other. It's a fun conversation, for sure. Schedule 25-minutes on the phone with me for free at https://mountaintoppodcast.com

With the milestone 200th episode, it's fun to consider how far we've come, yet how many of the core ideas we still talk about have evolved. Big thanks to Eben Pagan (aka David DeAngelo) and the team at Double Your Dating for making this classic recording of my 2007 Interviews With Dating Gurus available to you as a free download for the very first time. It's truly like a blast through everything foundational here at X & Y Communications, which is fitting since it's the interview that basically put us on the map. Back then, getting this gig was for a dating coach like appearing on The Tonight Show was for a stand-up comic. We talk about deserving what you want, why self-help tactics usually fail, how (and why) to date multiple women on the way to meeting 'the one', and how I decided to get married. You'll get the first mention of 'the big four' ever, discover what an 'I/J' is and why high-quality women avoid them, hear the case for why chivalry still matters, and get a load of the one simple (and now infamous) meeting with a woman that changed my life forever. Then we talk about the first date phrase women use that lets you know you just hit the jackpot, and secrets to dating success for men who are shorter than average. You'll get my thoughts on dating younger women, how to identify a quality woman without being influenced by what others think, and of course I wouldn't think of leaving you hanging with regard to either 'the nuclear weapon or attraction' or 'the most important 30 minutes in dating'. You're likely to get a kick out of how radically different the conversation is in this interview from the typical pick-up artist advice from that time period. It was somewhat revolutionary back then. There are lots of links in this episode, so it's best to head over to the show notes page and collect all the goodies. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Okay, this is going to be a sticky episode for many of you guys, as it contains plenty of potentially incendiary ideas that will rip the scabs off of old wounds. But it's all for the greater good, as you'll see. We'll uncover the types of traumas many of us endure during childhood, and shine the light on how it all affects us as grown men. According to my guest, psychotherapist Riana Milne, virtually all of us experience at least some of these traumatic experiences growing up, and I'm inclined to believe her. Having gotten to know Riana and her work, she has earned my genuine respect, as helping heal brokenness is arduous, messy work. So heads up, when Riana starts going over the top ten traumas kids tend to face, it really is going to stir the pot for many of us...starting with why there is more dysfunctional trauma going on now than in years past, and a greater number of psychopaths out there as well. Next, find out the nature of Jekyll and Hyde relationships and why they're so devastating. What is up with how people nowadays are so addicted to electronic devices and media? What impact does fatherhood in particular really have on child development? Are many of us completely oblivious to even having undergone trauma as kids? How damaging is mental illness to the futures of our children? Could a high need for sexual activity as an adult point to childhood trauma? How will kids going through the current COVID-19 global crisis be potentially affected as adults? And best of all, Riana reveals how to move from the blame and shame game toward a happier, more fulfilling life of great relationships with others.

Over the past four years or so, the idea of The Hero's Journey has come up more and more often. My guest has built his entire practice around it, so for this episode we decided to go beyond the basic definitions and examples and do a deep dive. So for starters, what is it about this archetypal rendition of the classic hero story that is so riveting to us as men? Joseph Campbell's idea of powerful myth has fueled atheistic thought, but is that really the only logical perspective one can take? How does The Hero's Journey speak to universal truth not only in how we as humans attempt to comprehend the universe, but also in how we process the pattern of our own lives? And what's more, how does it all matter to YOU in becoming the best 'big four' man of character you can be? What does The Hero's Journey tell us about patience, virtue and the importance of mentorship? Why is it so important to leave home, only to ultimately return? How does The Hero's Journey narrative help us reconcile 'Imposter Syndrome'? Who is 'The Goddess' and how does she empower us to be better with women? Why is it that the most interesting part of The Hero's Journey comes right before the end? And how come 'hero' is such a loaded term, such that few accept being referred to as one? By the way, is there such thing as 'The Anti-Hero's Journey'? Be the hero in your own life...and in the lives of women everywhere. It all starts with a free 25-minute phone call with me.

You don't have to be fictional--or dead--to be legendary. My guest Tommy Breedlove quite literally wrote the book on it. He joins us to talk about how to man up and reinvent ourselves in order to make a real, measurable difference in this life. So first off, what's the very foundation of becoming legendary? And what does being legendary even mean? How do women view and respond to legendary men? Do you have to be world famous in order to be legendary? What if we struggle to feel like we're 'enough'? How can we start today on our own path to legendary status? What are the new habits we need to develop over the longer term? Next, Tommy reveals the arch enemies of maximizing your core purpose...and wait until you hear the shocking place those enemies hail from. What is the best advice for sticking to what's good and avoiding the 'dark side'? On that note, what gets into certain men's minds leading them to become 'legendary' bad guys, anyway? How can we know the cause we're to become legendary for really is a good one? If we find ourselves angry, how do we harness that for a valid, significant legacy contribution to this world? And how can good be the enemy of what's best, thereby hamstringing our true purpose? Gentlemen, join a band of brothers who will lift one another to greatness. It begins by taking control of your own 'new normal' and getting on board for Un-Settled. https://mountaintoppodcast.com/unsettled

Mark Edward Davis has been a men's coach for years now, and he's the right guest to join me for the topic of 'panic proofing' ourselves...which has been on my mind since the COVID-19 disruption started. We jump right in, starting with how masculinity is integrally linked to staying calm and collected under pressure, and what it actually looks like to be 'the rock' when a storm hits. What is the stark difference between those who panic and those remain calm and lead? Hint: it's ridiculously simple and uncomplicated What is the secret to rising above potential feelings of inadequacy or even 'Imposter Syndrome' to lead in the midst of crisis? How about a real, practical way to literally be the voice of calm? Mark reveals the difference between smart soldiers and dead ones...in other words, why thousands of stormtroopers get shot in Star Wars when none of the main characters do. What do the most respected US presidents in recent history have in common? How can we build the habit of having 'field sense' during intense moments of crisis? How does the importance of fatherhood factor into all of this? Are attitudes even more contagious than COVID-19? How optimistic should we be? Get fired up for this essential conversation, gentlemen.

My long time friend David Shade is the undisputed master of giving women incredible pleasure. He returns to the show once again to deliver powerful insights into what it will be like relating to women after the current quarantine is over and the 'all clear' sign is given. So how about it? What is the 'new normal' going to be after COVID-19, especially as it relates to women and sex? David offers his thoughts, in context with the fact he is 64 and has a 20-year-old girlfriend. That's not a typo, and you'll hear not only exactly how he made that happen, but why it's not unusual for him. Doesn't he ever feel like he's babysitting...I mean, they're not even old enough to drink? Wait until you hear his shocking answer. That leads to his take on female sexual maturity, and how we as men can be more sexually mature even in our twenties. What does David have to say about giving women what they need in order for them to give you what you want? Will it surprise you to hear David talk about women being in charge? It shouldn't...once you discover what he really means. Find out David's ninja strategy for relating to women you've been dating during social distancing, and how to stop fearing 'rejection'. And how does the nature of women's fantasies portend what post-quarantine dating life will be like? How are you doing during the present quarantine situation?

Beyond the catchy phrase, what exactly was my long-time friend Dr. Jed Diamond talking about when he coined the term 'Disconnection Syndrome'? Well for starters, you'll find out it's far more complex than people merely being separated from each other. It's a systemic issue that's been brewing for years now, and affects even our relationship with self. To kick off the conversation, Jed defines Disconnection Syndrome and explains how it's directly responsible for many of the ongoing social issues we see in today's world. Discover how this transcends the interpersonal to include how we interact with the world itself, as evidenced by some of the perhaps unexpected environmental effects of the current global pandemic. Meanwhile, what are some of the negative effects that purely electronic interaction has on our real, human abilities to connect? Are there subtle ways we've cheapened our sense of connection without even realizing it? Discover the surprising answers to these questions, along with the shocking ways our physical bodies and minds adapt. The most profound part of this episode comes when Jed details how we have become disconnected from our own identity as men. What happened there, why is it so rampant in today's world and how do we fix it? Overall, how can we get back to basics in the form of real, live human connection, and how might the pandemic crisis actually help us collectively to do that? Many of the men who do Laser Coaching with me or who are on the Ten-Plus strategic coaching program have been communicating with me in recent days about specific ideas and concerns in the midst of the current pandemic.

For those of us who live what I call 'The Suburban Sleepwalk', the present COVID-19 pandemic has represented one of the most profound challenges of our lifetime. We can't just watch this unfold on television...we're LIVING it. Obviously, having our proverbial 'cheese moved' is inherently painful, especially when our relationships and our very livelihood are disrupted. Even though such disruption feels like an imminent threat, how do we not only survive but thrive in context? What if instead of losing our sense of humor we found it? How can we turn lemons into lemonade? And does having our world shaken up quite literally challenge us to reevaluate what is important and valuable to us? Meanwhile, were the survival and preparedness guys really on to something here? What can we expect to be different in our lives--and in the world writ large--once the 'all clear' signal is given? Can we look forward to a kinder, friendlier and perhaps even cleaner world to live in, or will people simply revert back to their respective comfort zones? Tune in for surprising predictions on how the state of dating and relating will be affected, along with practical ideas on how to take every good, valuable and positive lesson from this present crisis and run with it long term. Coincidentally, and perhaps surprisingly, Emily and I were already committed to disrupting our lives in the best way possible. These times have only illuminated how powerful that can be.

My guest, Alison Pena is known as 'The Bad Widow', and you're about to find out why. Just a few short years ago she found herself heartbroken by the loss of her beloved husband, who passed after a brief illness. But in the midst of her considerable grief and gritting her way through picking up the pieces, something remarkable happened. As you listen to her, you'll quickly realize her story is not only inspiring and unexpectedly uplifting, it's also as powerful a roadmap to understanding and relating to widowed women as you've ever imagined. And of course, if you've lost the love of your life yourself, this episode promises to be a source of inspiration for you. In this episode, we tackle all of the most confusing, frustrating and heartwrenching issues, beginning with why people's behavior tends to be so ironic toward those who are near death. And what about how weird people also get when you've experienced deep personal loss? Wait until you hear Alison's brave and ingenious plan to cut through that shame and uncertainty in order to genuinely connect with those around her. What was her stunning realization that somehow gave her peace and even freedom after her husband passed? And how did she open up to successfully finding love again? What's more, how did her current partner masterfully navigate her widowhood as a quintessential 'big four' man? What are the steps to doing the same if you ever date a widow?

I have to tip my hat to my guest, Matt Sinkovitz. Not only has he taken on the topic of how porn affects our lives, he's made it his primary gig. Right out of the gate, we address the concept of porn addiction. You'll appreciate Matt's candid take on this loaded topic. And with the global percentage of Internet traffic that's porn-related, could it be true that virtually everyone is watching it? In that context, how does a guy reconcile his deep feelings of shame and guilt over doing so? What are some of the particularly jarring and at times unexpected sources and consequences of that shame? Do most men really have schlongers as big as male porn stars? Are all porn actresses being exploited and/or trafficked? Isn't porn sex nothing like real-world sex anyway? What's the real-world difference between watching porn and satisfying oneself using pure imagination? Should getting a hot girlfriend or wife be a reasonable cure for the desire to watch porn? Is there a correlation between porn usage and other negative patterns in our lives...even at an unconscious level? So let's say we're successful in quitting porn...what real-world advantages can we expect to gain from that? Should we go full-on 'no fap'? How can we as men overcome hiding in the darkness to find the community and support necessary to succeed? And hold on a second...is porn really all bad? Is there a counterpoint that outlines some of the benefits of watching it? Listen and be both challenged and amazed.

Want to feel more alive, pursue your passions, make women love you and score some extra money on top of all else? Two words: side hustle. My guest Nick Loper is the man with the plan, and he joins us for the long-overdue deep dive on the subject. So what exactly is a side hustle? And how come nobody ever uses the term 'moonlighting' in the online entrepreneurial space? What does it take to let our ideas become reality and how does that make us feel more alive? Next, we talk about how to launch a side hustle that matters, including specific action steps. Why is starting a side biz like online dating? What is Nick's 'buy buttons theory'? And what if you can't seem to come up with any genius, original ideas? (As a bonus, this is also a ninja strategy for developing your stand-up comedy routine!) How does Nick's 'what sucks' exercise relate to all of this? As counter-intuitive as it sounds, how can building a new source of income actually increase your overall freedom as opposed to bogging you down with more busy work? Finally, what are the first steps you can take once you decide you're all in on starting a side hustle for yourself?

Man, isn't it true how some people grow older, but they somehow never grow up? My guest is Josh Burnette, author of Adulting 101, and he has very specific theories as to how and why this happens. What's going on in our minds when we opt to avoid evolving into mature, responsible adults? Is what we're holding onto really better than what we gain by growing up? Obviously, being a child--or worse, a Neanderthal--isn't attractive to women at all, and it won't ever advance your career. Is there a 'bigger picture' to adulting that extends beyond our sense of self? What is more important to a true adult than mere happiness? What are some of the key life lessons that adults have figured out? And what does Josh do to motivate guys toward adulthood? What specific tips does he give? And who's going to be around for guys in real life to lead by example? What happened in Josh's life when he got married and became a father? Clearly, one must BE and adult before one can effectively raise kids, right? So wait a minute, does that all add up to a sobering reality that lots and lots of people skip marriage, swear off having kids and perhaps stay in that dead-end job out of a desire to avoid 'adulting' altogether? Sounds preposterous... All of this and more crisp, golden tenders of wisdom from the back of the house at Chick-Fil-A.

Let's face it. If I know anything about you guys who listen to this show, it's that you're not getting any sleep. It may seem heroic now, but it's not healthy and it's pretty much killing us. Enter Mollie McGlocklin, a sleep optimization expert who knows how to put this topic to bed, once and for all. Fortunately, she didn't take my advice and call her upcoming new podcast 'Sleep With Mollie' or 'Let's Go To Bed'. She wisely chose 'Sleep Is A Skill' as her brand, and her mission is to give us a wake up call when it comes to healthy sleep. So don't worry, sleepyhead...this ain't one of those weird but crazy-popular podcasts designed for insomniacs. So then, what did Mollie discover through her own sleepless experiences? And why is it that we have such a harder time getting to sleep in today's world? Why is everyone up all night and getting up at the crack of lunch? How exactly is that making us sicker? Meanwhile, is there really an ideal sleep amount, or does that vary? Why do older folks actually need less sleep? How come some people need a cold and/or noisy room? And what's up with 'power napping'? Plus, as a special bonus you'll get my quick and dirty tips for solving 'jet lag'. Sweet dreams, amigos.

Well, if there has ever been an overdue topic, this one is it. On this show we shamelessly discuss the 'm word', courtesy of my charming guest Helena Nista. Helena is originally from Poland and now living in Australia. She is a sex therapist, tantric practitioner and occasional body worker (yes, it's what you think). According to her, the body is capable of 'tons and tons of multi-layered amazing, ecstatic, blissful pleasurable experiences', and she is all about helping us realize those blissful states. She believes that practicing with oneself allows us as men to achieve better sexual control and discover more intense, full-body orgasmic experiences. Discover the fascinating reasons why most people are so bad at self-pleasuring, perhaps without even realizing it. What does Helena have to say about the No-Fap Movement? Do men lose their sexual energy when they masturbate? And what makes her so confident that she knows how men experience orgasms, even as a woman? Discover why Helena believes self-pleasure is fantastic training for paired sex. Can you have a 45 minute, full-body orgasm as a man? And would we even want to, considering most of us are already realizing how much we could go for a burger and a beer before we're even done ejaculating? Finally, what about women and masturbation? What do we as men need to know about that? Find out more about our guest and sign up for a free 25-minute call with me personally at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

My guest Rob Kowalski grew up without a dad, and ended up becoming a male stripper in his early adult years. Finally, after leading a rambunctious life of sex and debauchery with countless women, he had a faith conversion experience which inspired him to stop having sex outside the bonds of holy matrimony. Now in his mid-forties, Rob is still unmarried...and yes, he's still not having sex. In most faith based settings, both teens and adults are simply told to stay away from sex until marriage, without really being told why. But in this episode, you'll hear Rob's resolute, logical case for abstention until marriage, and why even masturbation is out of bounds. Are people getting the timing of marriage all wrong vis-a-vis modern postponement of adulthood? And how does the virtue of delayed gratification enter into all of this? And is sex outside of marriage inherently disrespectful, if not downright abusive to women because they're wired differently? What if the big disconnect really is that we as men are still focused on sex, even if it's while vowing abstinence? Whereas, what if a truly healthy relationship focuses less on sex as the central cornerstone of long-term happiness? Wouldn't it be easier to bypass fast sex under those circumstances? And moreover, does that have anything at all to do with what love is really all about...as opposed to pure lust? And how does any of this apply logically or emotionally to men who aren't of the Christian faith? Ready to introduce the woman of your dreams to your world?

When my co-host Jennifer Dougherty was in the business world, she started to feel a bit burned out. What did she do to pull herself out of that conundrum and change her mindset? Well, it all led to her to write a book on how she beat burnout and got focused. How can you too genuinely come to grips with what your dreams really are, and why you're dreaming them? And what if you're already doing that which you genuinely dreamed of doing, and yet are still feeling crispy around the edges? How does that mess with your productivity, let alone your mindset? How do talent, passion, strategy and hard work intersect to contribute to dream realization? What are the ironic bad feelings people can experience even after apparently accomplishing what they dreamed of doing? Are dreams overrated, given how people tend to feel once they've fulfilled them? Is it unreasonable and possibly even counter-productive to encourage our kids to dream big? And what of the idea that we often don't even realize what we wanted all along until we get it? How in the world would we reverse engineer such a concept? Do people sabotage their dreams willingly when they can't see past the moment? And of course, what do you do if you feel like your dreams aren't working out as planned? Isn't it time for you to start living your dream...or possibly even dreaming BIGGER? Let's talk.

You guys tend to love those shows where we do a deep dive into a particularly intelligent realm of thought and seek out truly profound breakthroughs. When I happened across a piece by my long-time Danish friend Michael Lassen on virtuous patience vs. simply waiting around, I instinctively knew it was a moral imperative as men to have him on the show. So for starters, what's the difference between accepting and embracing a certain situation? Is waiting really a virtue? And what's the concrete difference between waiting and patience? Further, is patience meant to be aimed at achieving perfection, or is that counter-productive? How patient should you be when the woman you want is dating another guy who is no good for her? Discover Michael's three-faceted approach to gaining personal power, regardless of the outcome of any particular situation. Then, find out what my own personal interaction with Navy SEALs has revealed about how they are trained to harness personal power in the exact same way. Also, if patience is a virtue, shouldn't life be about enjoying the journey? Science may in fact support that very notion... And as a special bonus, you'll also get Michael's truly evolved thoughts on 'approaching' and attracting women, along with some objective ideas on avoiding the number one most devastating attraction killer.

We never want to let things get too straight-laced around here, so for a change of pace I 'talk smack' this episode with my new friend Jillian Keenan, who is an international journalist and spanking expert. So the obvious first question is how does one become a spanking expert to begin with? Jillian's surprising answer sets the tone for the rest of the show, beginning with why women LOVE to be spanked during sex, and how spanking takes on profound sexual importance for some. Next, discover the mindblowing physiology behind why women find spanking sexually pleasurable. What is the difference between spanking as a kink vs. as a fetish? Why is it that spanking is so closely tied to playful flirtation? And of course, I'd be in for a 'red ass' if I didn't acknowledge how the classic representations of spanking in film didn't factor into all this. Is scolding--or even downright disciplinary shame--a part of what makes spanking so sexy? What goes on at organized 'spanking parties'? What is a 'service switch'? And how about the most effective mechanics of a good, proper spanking? By the way, does Jillian basically run around 'butt hurt' her entire life without being able to sit down...or is there 'recovery time' allowed? Basically, even though we get slap-happy about it, you can look forward to the whole truth about spanking, no ifs, ands or butts. January is already half over. If 2020 is going to be your year to get the right woman into your life, let's get on it: http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

My new friend and fellow 'Balti-moron' Dave Elliot talks about relationships between men and women in a visceral, down-to-earth manner that I'm sure you're going to appreciate. Among his numerous interesting ideas is his brilliant A.L.L.W.A.Y.S. framework for predicting whether or not a relationship is built to last. After all, you and your woman want to always stay together, but there are also all sorts of ways to stay together. So first off, how is it that some people can date for literally years, but their marriage is wrecked within just a few months of saying 'I do'? And on the other hand, what are those seven major factors that genuinely and accurately determine whether or not a couple will defy the divorce rate odds and be happy together for decades? Dave and I talk clearly and candidly about what it takes. This episode is all about knowing your own values and avoiding the fear of going deep with a woman you've just met only to encounter bitter disappointment...and instead boldly seeking out and finding the relationship of a lifetime with a fantastic woman who is truly your significant other. Talk to me for 25 minutes free, and let's make 2020 the year you get the woman of your dreams into your life. http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

This episode may come off as a bit weird up front, as it's the first show we've ever published to BOTH The Mountain Top and X & Y On The Fly feeds. But hey...we figured this is a timely conversation everyone can and should have, and also (more obviously) we're co-hosting this one together. So on with it... In this fast-paced show we talk candidly--and at times controversially--about how dating, relating and even socializing itself have changed in the last decade, and how we ourselves control what the next decade holds. What about online dating, apps and social media? Shouldn't it be easier than ever for men and women to meet, attract each other and build relationships? But instead, men and women appear to have lost touch with how to relate to each other. It's as if we as a human race have gotten better than ever at mere social manipulation, and place a higher value on that than real connection. As a result, are people justified in questioning the value of even pursuing a relationship nowadays? Have people in general become more pessimistic toward the other gender? And wait until you get Emily's take on how the #MeToo movement has influenced dating and relating. But the ultimate question is with regard to what happens going forward. What do we as a society really want from our relationships with each other? Yes, 2020 has arrived, and you can talk to Emily and/or me for 25 minutes free.

A blast from the past has resurfaced, and it's none other than my long-time friend and frequent oldskool David D. co-collaborator Will H., aka 'Big Will'. Together, he and I are like two examples of the 'old bull' from ye olde 'two bulls on the hill' joke. We were sure to poke a lot of fun at ourselves and tell embarrassing stories in this episode, and we sincerely trust that you young bulls out there will be fully equipped to 'walk down there and get 'em all' after you're finished listening. And rest assured, whatever age you are you're going to get lots of laughs out of this show. Will H. is known for his humorous way of bringing logical fact to light, and we've never had a dull moment recording together. So of course, we fully address why younger women tend to love older men so much...and better yet, how younger guys can bridge the gap. What are the most infamous fashion faux pas committed by men...along with the social ones that basically act as chick repellent? How is it that older guys can possibly be more handsome and sexy to women...even physically? And on the other hand, what does it look like when older guys refuse to grow up? Hint: it's worse for them, not better. Add it up, and this episode boils down to taking what older men know about how to attract women, bottling it up and giving y'all a big swig of it. The end of 2019 is here, and the new year is coming. Remember, you can talk to me for 25 minutes free. All the details are at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

My co-host and returning guest Myke Macapinlac began his career as a techie guy in the IT world. Like many men in such a position, he often felt there was a 'glass wall' separating him from others socially. Yet, it's often as if techie guys feel if they only work harder, make more money and get that coveted promotion, then attracting women--and their social life in general--will take care of itself. Unfortunately, that simply isn't the case for most. So why do left-brained guys in particular struggle so much socially? What are the three major traits that make someone more sociable--or even likable--to begin with? What was it about early pickup advice that appealed to techie guys so much? How can you overcome crippling 'analysis paralysis', and how come plenty of other guys don't seem to be affected by it in the least? What does it really mean to 'be inside your head' as opposed to 'in your body'? And hey, what happens when we meet a woman who is a left-brained, technical type? Finally, what else can left-brained guys do to increase their overall attractiveness to women? The end of 2019 is here, and the new year is coming.

Given how central this topic has historically been to the world of men's dating advice, it's hard to believe we've never done a show on it until now. But given how so many men struggle when talking to women, the idea of telling an actual end-to-end story seems overwhelming. Enter my guest co-host, Paul Smith, who has written several books on storytelling, including his latest 'The 10 Stories Great Leaders Tell'. To kick things off, we settle any confusion between what makes for a truly engaging story compared to a 'cool story, bro'. What is the proper role of humor in storytelling, and how important is it? On the other hand, what is the absolute most crucial prerequisite skill for effective storytelling? What are the three elements of a good, solid story? What are the eight questions you have to ask yourself when constructing a storyline? What does it take to craft meaningful stories for specific situations rather than telling the same few stories over and over? What is the difference between inductive vs. deductive storytelling? And of course, Paul reveals his ten stories that great leaders indeed tell. Sick of spinning your wheels with no progress to speak of? Let's get the results you deserve.

You asked for this, and it's long overdue... I can't count how many guys over the years have asked me why women LOVE romance novels like 50 Shades Of Grey so much. Well, I've invited popular romance novel author Porscha Sterling on as my co-host to break down exactly why women get so turned on by this genre. What's more, we talk about all of the different tips we as men can glean from romance novels to attract and delight women just like the central characters in the books do. So how about it, then...why do women prefer romance novels over the visceral visual stimulation of porn (or do they)? And do women really want the 'bad boy' persona in real life quite the same way they seem to desire it in the novels? How does all of this alpha imagery reconcile with all of the conflicting messages on masculinity that we see in the media? I mean, could it be true that what women SAY they want compared to what they REALLY want could be at odds, or is it all just a political power play? OR...is something even deeper and more meaningful really what is going on there? How is it that people who can't stand each other end up falling in love? And how do women really envision meeting the man of their dreams? By the way, what's the deal with women wanting a man to 'pursue' them? Isn't that the same as 'chasing'? It's true, gentlemen...women still love real men. Isn't it time you attracted the women you really want? Talk to me for 25 minutes free when you sign up at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

So many of us as men are terrified of fatherhood to begin with. But if and when the time comes, we almost invariably hope for a son...you know, a "chip off the old block". But every man who fathers a little girl immediately realizes that daughters are equally amazing in their own unique and wonderful ways. But for many men, that signals somewhat of a transformation of how they view women in general. This is all-important because of the tremendous influence we as fathers have on our daughters (and also on our sons, of course), regardless of what some naysayers may want us to believe. Well, my guest is NLP coach Mark Sing, who is the perfect co-host for this episode because he is the proud new dad of a three-month old little girl. His perspective, combined with that of a grizzled fatherhood vet like me makes for one rambunctious show. Get ready for an honest, down-to-earth discussion about the intricacies of being a man who not only loves women, but loves certain women particularly dearly. Is your role as a provider and protector meaningful in the same way for your daughter as it is for her mom? And on a lighter note, what's the real deal with 'dad jokes'? Fair warning...this episode ended up featuring longer-than-normal soliloquies by both of us, but it's all in the name of waxing philosophical about such a deeply personal and impactful topic. When you level up your manliness, you increase your attractiveness to women. Talk to me for 25 minutes free when you sign up at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

The motto of the Boy Scouts of America is 'be prepared'. Unfortunately, scouting isn't much of a thing anymore compared to what it used to be. As a result, a whole lot of us as men aren't really, um...prepared anymore. If you think about it, it's easy to feel as if we don't have to be. There are automatic transmissions, wrinkle-free shirts and oil change places out there. But...when that time presents itself where it's time to be a hero in a certain small way--and we just can't--it really sucks. It kicks you in your manhood. Well, my guest Jonathan Catherman has always loathed that feeling, which led him to writing a whole manual for men on how to be ready for 100 different situations that all men should be prepared for. If you're looking for a fast-action episode that's chock full of practical knowledge, then you just found it, Bubba. Now, obviously being prepared for the small things in life makes us tons more confident when the larger issues present themselves, but the impact our preparedness has on our ability to attract women is also not to be underestimated. Threats become challenges, which in turn blossom into opportunities. And wait until you hear the REAL reason why most full-grown men STILL don't prepare themselves, even though we all realize it's necessary. Is it time for a reckoning in your life? Are you ready to step up, draw a line in the sand and start getting the women and the life you want? Talk to me for 25 minutes free when you sign up at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

Most of you probably know my guest co-host as David DeAngelo, one of the founding fathers of the modern men's dating advice movement. But for the past decade or so Eben Pagan has been on a journey of personal evolution, leading him to a mission of inspiring you to turn your passions into both a living AND and legacy. Indeed, many of us as men often wonder aloud what our true gifts even are, let alone feeling any passion toward them. So then, how DO we figure out how we're going to leave a positive mark on the world? OH SCREW IT...we both knew about ten minutes into this thing it was time to throw away the script and go old-school talking David D. stuff. That's what you want, and that's what we gave you. And baby, does this show deliver. The segue starts with the ironic reality of how the David D. mystique happened, especially given the man Eben has become and what he is teaching nowadays. But as fun as the story of David D.'s early days are, stay tuned for perhaps the most shocking statement Eben could possibly have made about his work as David D...which left even me speechless. And wait until you hear about how meeting his wife Annie transformed everything, including his evolution as a man. Now, all of that said, I'm sure at least one of you is still left saying, 'Hey, all of that at the beginning about being a unique kind of genius was the best part!'

As often as this topic comes up, I firmly believe a large percentage of us as guys still don't fully grasp how important this subject is to women. My guest, intimacy coach Allana Pratt would go so far as to call it a dealbreaker. And wouldn't you know it...it all starts with communication, which Allana compares to a figure eight. How can being the 'hero of small things' make a major difference? How can you reconcile a woman's desire for a dominant decision-maker with our own genuine desire not to come off as a controlling jerk? And what does it take on both your best and worst days to be a rock of consistency for her? How does relaxing and resting into a woman's feminine nature actually cause her to feel safer, loving and respecting you more than ever before? And how do both you AND she gain from that relational state? While we're at it, we explain the specific kind of leadership from a man that makes a woman want to do anything for us. And hey...what DO women want, anyway? How can we make sure we're a safe, calming influence during her 'loco moments' rather than getting china plates thrown at us like in the Godfather? All of these important life questions are pondered along with many others in this particularly thought-provoking episode.

As we all know, 'be yourself' is the lamest, most generic advice ever. But have you ever stopped to think why we as men would ever stop representing our true selves to begin with? Well, the title of this episode is a strong hint as to why, and my co-host is the man to explain what's up with that. Indeed, Clovis Colley isn't only a certified hypnotherapist in-house here at X & Y Communications, he's been around the block a few times. So what are guilt and shame all about anyway? And what useful purpose do they serve, if any? How do people try to shame us, or even project their own shame onto us? How has the 'toxic masculinity' narrative increased shame, even if under the guise of hoping to reduce it? What does it mean to 'take ourselves too seriously', and how do we pile on the pressure, shame and guilt when we do so? How can you tell when someone is trying to shame you for their own pathetic reasons, read them like a cheap paperback and refuse to let them affect you? How does setting and maintaining boundaries combat against undue shame and guilt? Discover the disastrous but shockingly common way people try to avoid shame only to experience even more of it. Finally, and most importantly, what's the pathway out of feeling undue shame and guilt?

When I first started dating my wife Emily, she brought a book with her containing a brilliant array of questions to help us get to know each other. Even though that may sound intimidating on the surface, it really turned out to be a lot of fun and the book genuinely functioned as advertised. A few weeks ago that book came up in conversation, and it occurred to me to find the author, Laurie Seale, and have her on as a guest. It turns out she is a regular 'Jaqueline Of All Trades'...and as smart, charming and fascinating as you would expect from someone who wrote such a book. In this episode we discuss the trials and tribulations men and women have nowadays when creating conversation with each other, along with some genius ways to kick off first date communication in a positive way. Laurie talks about the value of knowing yourself before seeking to know someone else, along with how to break the ice on such topics as passion, purpose, lifestyle, past relationships, basic compatibility and spirituality. She then suggests ideas for when you're in a hurry, along with offering some wise words on sussing out dealbreakers. Just for good measure, there are some fun stories along the way to illuminate the whole human dance of mutual romantic discovery.

My guest co-host, author Acamea Deadwiler, is all about breaking pre-conceived notions. In her book Single That!, she writes words of encouragement and clarity to single women. But...I couldn’t help but recognize the immense value to us as men of gaining insight into her list of myths, especially since Acamea is so level-headed, positive and easy-going in her approach to men and women finding love together. So how about it, then? If a woman is still single in, say, her thirties, does that mean there's something wrong with her? What about women who think something is wrong with YOU because you’re still single? Do women have unrealistic expectations nowadays...both before AND after they’re married? Are single women just too busy? Are they lonely 'spinsters'? Or is the opposite true...that they're 'female players'? Are most women 'golddiggers' at heart, intending to find a man who will pay their way in life? And why do all single women seem to ask, 'What are you looking for?' before we’ve even met them yet?

Decades ago the Kinsey Institute infamously attempted to define the parameters of human sexual thought and behavior. Over the years books such as My Secret Garden by Nancy Friday have elaborated upon just how dirty the human mind can get. But it wasn't until Internet-driven research came along that we really found out what human beings think and do in private anonymity. This bold insight comes to you in large part courtesy of my guest, neuroscientist Dr. Ogi Ogas, along with his fellow researchers. So how did Ogi compile all of his research, and how can he know it's accurate? How did it differ from other scientists' expectations? What's up with women's 'rape fantasies', and how does what goes on in their romance novels differ from what happens in online porn? What other dark emotions are most prevalent in human sexual fantasies...and how are they often weirdly in conflict with each other? What is the one sexual fantasy we all seem to secretly have in common, regardless of our gender or sexual orientation? And how come the porn we choose to watch tends to depict something different than the sexual experiences we'd partake of IRL? Next, get Ogi's surprising thoughts on so-called 'female friendly' porn, and the REAL reason why women can be so resentful of mainstream porn designed for men. Are women watching porn at all? If so, how many of them...and what types of them? How do women really view porn usage by their significant others, and the fantasies associated with it?

Everyone is familiar with the term. But what exactly IS a 'friends with benefits' relationship? Who gets into relationships like that, and what can be expected from it? And how is it different than having a 'sex buddy'? Is it about whether I'm willing to be seen in public with her or not...or introduce her to my friends? As you can see, this is a sticky topic right from the get-go. Well, my long-time friend and fellow dating coach Susan Winter is never shy about tackling even the friskiest subjects, so I invited her back to the show for this fun-filled discussion. For starters, what REALLY causes two people to forge a FWB arrangement? How accurate is the movie portrayal of FWB in the eponymously-named movie with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis? What other interesting revelations can be arrived at from watching that film? And when FWB relationships happen in real life, is there really any chance that deeper feelings won't develop? How is it that one-night stands can often be drama-free, but FWB arrangements almost never are? Is it that woman are intentionally trying to trap us into a more serious relationship? Or have women actually learned how to have and enjoy 'no strings' sex early on in our present day sexual economy? What are the ramifications of all of this as far as 'sex buddy' partnerships go? Do they tend to evolve into FWBs, and therefore eventually into 'catching feelings'? For our part as men, do we always think it's fine to be used as a 'sex toy' by women? And get a load of this...is a desire to have a deeper, more connected and dare we say a more meaningful relationship as opposed to a string of FWBs born of the same character trait that drives our ambitious nature in the workplace?

Emily and I have been together for nearly fourteen years, and we agree on just about everything...at least fundamentally. That's a big part of what makes our relationship wonderful. But that doesn't mean we don't have our prickly moments. Therefore, we figured we'd record an episode where we break down what exactly constitutes 'healthy' disagreement as opposed to something twisted and dysfunctional. So how do people end up in a relationship with someone they disagree with even on the baseline stuff? Believe it or not, we can think of at least two ways that happens...and all too often. If a woman is driving you nuts, can you change her? Can she change YOU? If you give in to your partner's preferences or opinions, is that 'compromising' your relationship...or giving your power away? Do the two of you even have to have the same interests up front at all? Certain 'relationship gurus' are on record saying it's healthy for couples to fight. On the other hand, is it healthy never to disagree at all? Well, we have a take on both of those opinions for sure, including why it is that Emily and I can freely get snippy with each other and only make our relationship stronger all the while. What about when you're given 'the silent treatment'? And what if there's a serious breach of trust, like someone cheats on the other partner? What if there's a source of extreme stress either inside or outside the relationship itself? By the way, I know way too much about ballet, and you should probably be worried.

It doesn't matter whether you've got your eye on a woman who is desired by other men, you're dating a woman who incessantly tells you how other guys want her, or you're in a relationship with a woman who is constantly hit up on by other dudes...this episode is for you. My main man Bobby Rio returns to hash it all out, throwing down some real talk about how to be the man even in such awkward and potentially frustrating situations. And what if your girlfriend has a pesky BFF who keeps trying to introduce her to someone else? How about if her own family members want to break the two of you up? Could it somehow even be that YOU are the one causing other men to run 'boyfriend destroyer game' on the woman you're with? Brutal. And wait a minute...on the other hand, what are the parameters of stepping in to meet a woman yourself when some other guy is clearly failing on his date with her? Is there ever a scenario when that's okay? What's really going on when a woman says, 'I have a boyfriend'? And could her antics really all be about trying to impress you? As improbable as that sounds, wait until you hear the raw truth. And what does pizza delivery have to do with all of this?

Why is it men are so concerned about speaking their truth when talking to women? Well, according to returning guest Kim Seltzer's interesting perspective, men and women both tend to complain about the widespread miscommunication between the genders nowadays. This leads to lots of offended people, followed inevitably by pandemic fear of talking to each other. But as it turns out, there's a pattern to how everything tends to fall apart, and it's easy to remove yourself from the cycle...which you'll discover. Next, Kim shares the very foundation for talking to women effectively. It's going to blow you away because it's NOT what you think, and has probably never been talked about anywhere else. Better yet, did you know that talking to women might actually go better for you the LESS prepared you are with something slick to say? But how do you establish that all-important safety and security all the while? Also, what is the most powerful aspect of pickup success that no other pickup advice has ever dared to admit? Plus, discover the one external factor that can instantly increase how effective you are in communicating with women. Ultimately, however, it all comes down to this...is there ever a right time to say to a woman, 'You're going to love my nuts'?

Asexuality as a sexual orientation may seem on the surface as if it's no orientation toward sexuality at all. But in reality, it's a much more complex subject than most people think. In fact, quite a number of people experience sexual attraction differently from the majority of everyone else. Enter world expert on the subject, Tony Bogaert from Brock University in Canada. The truth is there's much yet to be discovered on this fascinating subject, as Tony's own groundbreaking research really only dates back to 2002. What's more, it's like the gateway to 'The Wild West' when it comes to sexual studies in general...as you'll find out. So what is it that defines someone as part of the 'Ace Community'? What does it feel like to be asexual? Is there such thing as asexual romance? Indeed, one of the most powerful aspects of studying asexuality is how it informs the broader study of sexuality itself in so many unexpected ways. For example, what are the dynamics of a relationship between an ace person and a non-ace person? Would an asexual man be the perfect partner for a woman who has been sexually damaged in the past? Does asexuality actually relieve guilt and shame in the context of faith? How do asexual men handle the biological need to ejaculate? And what about greysexuality? Demisexuality? Even sapiosexuality? How are they related? Get the free the daily newsletter, all the free reports and basically take control of the entire world at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

One thing you can expect from this episode is that my co-host Cyndi Olin will definitely NOT hold back. The playful banter starts almost immediately, and Cyndi isn't at all shy about telling it like it is when it comes to women growing cold and distant. So let's say you're out with a woman and suddenly you don't know what she's thinking, or she's giving you mixed signals. Should you call it out, try harder to win her affection or simply chalk it up and stop 'pushing it uphill'? Why do women pull away so often even though we as humans typically crave real, honest connection? Next, hear Cyndi's legit take on the mistakes men make on first dates that cause women to hit the brakes rather than moving full speed ahead. Also discover why you have an extra risk-factor the higher your level of personal accomplishment is. What are the cultural factors that cause certain women to be more tacit on dates? As a special bonus, Cyndi offers secrets to asking out supermodels successfully. So then, if we don't want women to pull back, what's the opposite of that...it's a tricky question, isn't it? Speaking of questions, what should you ask a woman to draw her in as opposed to pushing her away? What about after you get to know a woman and are in a relationship with her? What are some of the ways she holds back in that context...and why? And then, the scariest idea of all...could it be women often don't even realize why they're pulling back? What can be done when she has completely lost attraction? Also, Cyndi discovers the deal with green M&Ms. And why is it that every time I imitate a woman's voice she has a southern accent?

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

Co-Host Susan Bratton (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/dirtytalk) Susan Bratton is the queen of sex advice, and she returns for an equally shocking and entertaining discussion on how to be sexually attractive to LOTS of women. On the surface this seems like a rather general topic, but it's more specific than you may realize. Susan hits the ground running with objective attraction factors that are extremely important to women. What is the number one fashion mistake men make? What's more important to a woman visually than being movie-star gorgeous? Then, get Susan's take on the kind of flirtatious banter that makes more women adore you. How can you communicate your sexual presence in a way that makes women hot for you? Next, discover the two questions to ask yourself in order to be more attractive to nearly all women. It may be a running joke that many men let their small head think for the big one, but where does your heart come into play? How does your voice play a more important role in attraction than you even think? Oh...and stay tuned for an unbelievably potent superpower you can practice while making love to a woman. Susan always has a way with words when it comes to sex, and in this show she drops simple phrases here and there that could be full episodes unto themselves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This episode gets an exciting hint of futurism, thanks to my good friend Derek Loudermilk. In his new book Superconnectors, he outlines the top ten ways human beings can and should maximize their value as technology continues to advance. How is the concept of 'work' changing, and what will 'industry' look like in just a decade or two from now? Is technology progressing faster than mere humans can keep up? We'll reveal the overarching 'meta skill' that all of us MUST acquire lest we become dinosaurs. Next, we ask why it was so hard for our parents to figure out how to use the Internet. Discover the traits that we need to thrive in the future...and the shocking factor they all have in common. What are the chances of a robot being able to meaningfully connect with you anytime in the near future? Will they be the 'new kings of comedy'? Are telephone conversations already obsolete? What are the social casualties of technology we haven't even noticed yet? How do you future-proof your ability to effectively relate to others, especially women? And what is a 'superconnector', anyway? Get the show notes, tons of free stuff and talk to me free for 25 minutes...all at: http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com

It has been way too long since with did a good, straight-up dating advice episode.

Discover how both of us defended against descending into bitterness and negativity after our respective divorces, and why. How did Robert get his new wife to approach him first? What does it mean to be a 'better picker and a better ender'? Why victimhood isn't a good look to women. Also, how to transform yourself into a 'social animal' to the delight of women. Discover the one trait you can have that turns women on every bit as much as her getting naked turns you on. Why so many men have the same tired limiting beliefs about women, and how they got there.

What has Robert discovered about not being 'Mr. Nice Guy' since he first wrote the book in 2003? The difference between leading and controlling. The surprising way men must lead, even though almost all men leave it up to the woman. Also, the difference between chasing and pursuing. Oh, and to clarify...life probably is NOT 'wine and roses' after one gets sober...my bad.

What can you expect from a show co-hosted by a man who wrote The Ape That Understood The Universe? Evolutionary psychology professor and author Steve Stewart-Williams asks, 'What would an alien visitor make of the mating rituals of humans compared to every other species on Earth?' Do human males compete for the attention of females in the same way other creatures do? How does a man get to choose the mate he really wants? Find out the real reason why men tend to want more sexual partners than women do. Has modern birth control and STD prevention caused women to become more promiscuous? Next, get the last work on 'peacocking' from a purely scientific perspective. We talk about why it's good to be a human man instead of a bird, how a heightened sense of reality affects human sexuality, whether or not monogamy is a social construct, and whether or not it's possible to be in love with multiple women. Speaking of love, do animals feel it? How do they process sexual attraction differently? What's up with the unique alliance between mankind and dogs? And how come humans don't always do it 'doggy style'? And why DO we change positions so much, anyway? You'll hear Steve's frank opinions on sex differences, his evolutionary argument for jealousy...and why swingers enjoy 'the lifestyle' anyway. Why are human's the only altruistic, charitable species? Add it all up, and this isn't your father's Discovery Channel. Get the show notes, tons of free stuff and talk to me free for 25 minutes...all at: http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com

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

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

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

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

She charmed us with amazing text message ideas. She even charmed a bunch of us guys with brownies when we shared the stage with her once. But now Claudia Cox is back to talk about what it means to be charming to women. First off, we define the word 'charming' itself.

You'll likely go out with a whole lot of women before you meet the one you want to keep around forever. And according to matchmaker Rachel Russo, you absolutely can meet her. She wants to assure you all women aren't crazy, pathologically jealous or gold diggers. In fact, her top way to know if you're with the WRONG woman is so simple it might surprise you, but it's also probably the first one that popped into your head. Find out why men fall for entering into relationships they don't even want, and how to make sure it never happens to you. You'll also get a valid definition of 'chemistry', and why it really is important to a relationship. What does it mean to be truly compatible with someone? And how about going back to someone from your past? Should couples be alike or do opposites attract? How much do common interests matter? Also discover what your style of relating has to do with long-term success, and how respect enters into all of this. Finally, how much self-work do you really have to do in order to be ready to meet the right woman? By the way, yes...'sex with a c' should have been 'copulation'. Even 'coitus' would have been acceptable, but it's hard to be that quick on one's feet all the time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Most guys think that once you've blown your load, that's it. At best, you'll need a 'recovery period' to recharge before going at it again. Well, my charming guest from Germany, Mariah Freya, wants to 'Beducate' you. Let's just say that not only can you come back for a second round as quickly as you'd like, you can take your orgasm game to a whole new level.

And what if it's true you can even have orgasms without having an erection, let alone ejaculating? We'll compare the male and female orgasm experiences, and then share the simple secret to making sure women are warmed up and ready for sex when you are, assuming that's a good thing. What's more, Mariah will show you how to become as in-tune with your body as women are...and why you should care. Discover simple exercises you can do to train your body to feel more intense pleasure, be more orgasmic and become multi-orgasmic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When you think of 'futurism' your first thoughts are probably of Ray Kurzweil, Elon Musk and talk of 'The Singularity'...when machines will become smarter than humans. All that techie stuff is ridiculously cool and all, but have you ever noticed how little speculation there is out there about the future of sex, dating and relationships? Well, after a bit of going back and forth in one of my mastermind groups for relationship coach types, I discovered my friend Jason Silver was pretty much the only guy thinking about these ideas as much as I was. So I invited him on the show for a uniquely mind-blowing discussion about men, women, sexbots, virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and much more. We kick it all off by thinking about the relatively near-term future of social media and male/female relationships. But where it all gets completely out of hand is when we start considering the next hundred or two hundred years and beyond. Basically, Jason and I go back and forth rapid-fire trading face-melting ideas of practically inconceivable consequence to mankind.

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

This time I'm joined by a true legend in the world of men's dating advice, none other than Clifford Lee. His claim to fame, of course, is the notorious Cliff's List, which started out as a cornerstone of the 'underground' pickup artist movement back in the early '00s and has evolved with the times to remain one of the top men's portals.  As such, there's no better guy to talk about how men's dating and seduction advice is different nowadays than it used to be. But now that the PUA movement is dead and gone, it's not like men have stopped needing to get better with women. So now what? Can there be another group of men as united in the cause of excellence with women as the Seduction Community was?  The truth is that because of changes in the socio-political climate, more men are looking for 'natural' ways to meet women without 'running game' or anything else that would appear sleazy.  Is that an overreaction, or simply a much-needed mindset correction? How have social media and dating apps contributed to the transformation of how men consume dating advice?

Tune in for the perhaps shocking but disarmingly reasonable and practical solution both Cliff and I reach together.  And absolutely check out Cliff's List once you're finished listening to this fine episode.

Lots of couples move in with each other these days, and there are more reasons why than you might think. My special guest Damona Hoffman spends as much time thinking about 'cohabitation psychology' as anyone. After all, she's the resident dating expert on the new FYI Network show A Question Of Love, featuring three couples about to embark on the adventure of living together. We talk about the hurdles couples have to overcome, the three discussions that MUST take place before moving in together and our three best keys to living with a significant other without tearing each other apart. Does the sex get better...or worse? What about cross-cultural misunderstandings and misguided expectations? Should you sign a 'pre-hab'? On top of all else, we rant about how smartphones and online dating have changed people's expectations and brought about unexpected relationship challenges.

Co-Host Chris Hammond (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/dream) People talk about making their dreams come true all the time. But what if your dreams WERE truth? My co-host for this episode is Sydney's own Chris Hammond, the Chief Lucidity Officer at World Of Lucid Dreaming. You sleep up to a third of your life, so why not make the most of it? Lucid dreaming is a learned skill that allows your conscious mind to take over your dreamscape...without waking up. If you've already done it before, you know it's not only freaking EPIC, it leaves you challenging your very perspective on what 'reality' actually means. After all, your mind manufactures both your internal perceptions and your complete external reality on the fly...even including original works of art and music in the mix.  Chris and I dare to talk about the most insanely bizarre aspects of lucid dreaming including time travel, superhuman skills, putting your unconscious mind into 'auto' mode so you can compete against it and yes...how to call any woman into your dreams and seduce her. Plus, did you know you can actually practice skills while you sleep and quite literally improve them in the 'waking world'? Basically, prepare to have your face melted off by this one...and I didn't even mention how Japanese scientists are already recording people's dreams and playing them back. Wait...what?

How is it that we can wax our car, tune race engines to perfection, make sure our guitars stay immaculate and keep the dust off of our trophies...yet we don't give a rip about our own health most of the time? My co-host Jed Diamond from Men Alive has been wondering aloud about that for the last forty years. Jed is a long-time advocate for men's health, true masculinity, strong character and functional male/female relationships. What's more, he's a hell of a great guy. In this episode we explore why so many of us seem so hell-bent on finding what we love and letting it kill us. Discover all the warning signs that you're letting your health slip, including the ones that the women we love issue to us. What is 'Irritable Male Syndrome' and how do you keep it from happening to you? How can you take back control of your health today, living a longer, happier and more masculine life? You can also look forward to my epic closing rant on doctors and health care...one I've had pent up for YEARS now, just looking for the right time and place to be unleashed.

One of the biggest fears most guys have is being boring...especially to the very women they're trying to attract. But let's face it, it's hard to make every conversation stimulating, let alone every date night the biggest adventure ever. The pressure to keep her interested can be crushing...and we haven't even gotten to the part where you're in a long-term relationship and trying to keep things fresh and exciting. Well, my co-host is the always-effervescent Jessica J, who you know from Playboy Radio. Jessica's freewheeling, happy-go-lucky personality makes for a hilarious and shocking episode that hits the ground running and only gains momentum from there. Oh, and she's one of the least boring people you'll ever meet, which makes her perfect for the job at hand. Given that easily-offended people are boring, and being 'Mr. Nice Guy' so as to not offend them is even more so, we somehow talk about politically-incorrect Warner Brothers cartoons, our shared penchant for streaking in the middle of the night, Jessica's weird conversations with Uber drivers, why vulnerability is interesting and the three things thou shalt NEVER talk about on first dates. Hey...it's all about boldly connecting with women where few other men dare to tread. Meet Jessica, subscribe to the free newsletter and get coached up at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

Emotions are at a fever pitch regarding the state of male/female relationships nowadays. We as men are told our masculinity is 'toxic', even as the very women who say so seem to claim masculine traits for themselves. Worse, guys are finding themselves in bad situations with virtually zero recourse...and not even a chance to defend themselves. Well, my co-host for this episode is Linda Gross, a female men's rights advocate who is about to fry your circuits. Why are men so trivialized in the family law system? Can women really cry 'rape'...even with consent? Are good, well-meaning women truly just as damaged by the current state of affairs as men, whether they even realize it or not? Get thought-provoking answers to all those questions and more. Plus, receive golden advice from both Linda and me on how to make sure you're never accused of rape...which goes WAY beyond the obvious. What can good men of character like us do to make a stand for men in today's world? Stand up and cheer when you hear my final take on this whole matter. Listen for good, solid, common sense...which is unfortunately not so common anymore. Get expanded show notes, subscribe to the free newsletter and much more at http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com.

The idea of 'radical transformation' appeals to nearly everyone. Most of us would love to be the best version of our most authentic self. But what do you do if you don't even know what you want...or who you even are? My co-host this time is serial entrepreneur and former ESPN SportsCenter host James Swanwick, who has done more thinking AND acting on this topic than most. Among the deep, life-changing questions we tackle in this episode are: Do we recognize when we're the ones causing ourselves problems, purely because of the bad habits we've let creep in over time? What if you know you a certain habit is killing you, yet you somehow can't find the will power to stop? Is the status quo really 'safer' than the risks you take by making changes to your life? You'll discover weird but powerful ways to live your passion and achieve wild success without burning out like a workaholic. Why the part of your life most people treat as a 'throwaway'--or even a total waste--might be the most strategic time you spend in your entire day. Find out how to weigh the risks of going for it in life relative to the rewards. And wait until you hear this ex-SportsCenter host's surprising thoughts on sports fandom. For good measure, you'll also get random thoughts on why Australian guys think whatever beer you're drinking is piss water, and how porn actresses are probably more famous than most mainstream celebrities.

Forget the stereotypes about hypnosis that you may have heard along the way. Clovis Colley is a well-known hypnotherapist who specializes in helping people gain greater access to their skills and maximize their personal power in areas they haven't even tapped into yet. As you listen to this episode, we'll expose common limiting beliefs that lead to anger and bitterness toward women, profoundly affecting your relationships and interactions with them. The crazy part is that you may have never even considered them before. This goes way beyond what your Dad modeled for you...birth order, high intelligence, parental over-protection, even the bombardment of media and the public opinions of virtually everyone via social media. Clovis can eliminate such limiting beliefs and install charismatic and magnetic new positive ones very quickly. As an added bonus, be sure to listen closely from 23:44 through 26:23 for my secrets to why men with a higher view of women tend to have better relationships with them for reasons they don't even realize. Finally, Clovis talks about what rapport really is, and why it's so widely misunderstood. The major announcement this time is that there are now seven more world-class coaches on the team to serve you, many of whom have been guests on this show.

We're taking a break from the serious stuff to go on a protracted (and hilarious) rant about how and why both men and women seem to completely lose their minds whenever they meet and interact with each other. My guest for this is the always witty and personable James Preece, who is the UK's number one dating coach. Only two guys with respectively long histories of going brain-dead when relating to women could bring you a tirade this poignant and complete, so get ready to laugh along with us. We cover everything from meeting women to botched first-date conversation, twisted mindsets and more...including, of course, the mandatory coverage of online dating and breakups. Granted, this show definitely gets a bit harsh and painful in places, but if you ever feel like we've been spying on you in particular PLEASE know that each example we throw on the table is backed by at least several different true stories...if not several dozen. It's all in fun, but hey...if you get a bolt of lightning here and there that snaps you out of a bad habit or two, consider that a bonus. Go ahead and take a look at the show notes page at http://www.mountaintopodcast.com, where a total circus of fun awaits.

Have you ever felt like whatever you do for a woman it's never good enough? Worse...have you been left thinking that no matter what ANY man does in a world with so much 'man bashing', it's always going to be flat-out wrong? Obviously, any well-meaning man with solid intentions can be left thoroughly frustrated with a quickness. That's why I brought in my long time friend Iris Benrubi, who is a genuinely man-friendly licensed psychotherapist. Find out how seeds of discontent in your relationship with a woman--and her relationship with you--were actually sown in early childhood. And wait until you hear the fascinating truth about how the mental trigger of 'getting beat by a girl' when asking a woman out ends up screwing up your relationship with her later. Also, why some women are so good at triggering your 'hot buttons' and what to do when it happens. Finally, you'll also get true clarity on who should apologize to whom, and when...all the while gaining personal power and respect instead of squandering it. Ready to live one-hundred percent?

Co-Host Suzanna Matthews (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/maven) You go out with her and everything seems fine...but obviously it wasn't because she NEVER returns your calls after that. What happened there? My guest co-host for this episode is super easy-going and guy-friendly dating coach Suzanna Matthews, aka The Date Maven. In this episode we expose the major ways both men AND women screw up on dates--usually without even realizing it. In addition to revealing exactly how 'Mr. Nice Guy' tends to be his own worst enemy on dates, we boldly delve into touchy subjects like manners, weird dating conversation, bringing the right energy, and attempted humor gone horribly wrong. Is there such thing as sexual innuendo etiquette? What critical dating mistake do we tend to make more and more as we get older? And what is it that virtually everyone does on dates that's invariably a HUGE blunder? Is social media actually conditioning you for dating disasters? Plus, you'll discover the number one way to get a woman to throw her napkin on the table and storm away. You don't want to be THAT guy...but no worries, Suzanna has solutions for all of these problems, including what women really, truly want on dates. It's not what you might think, and it's actually super easy. Hey, did she really say 'salamanders come out of their mouths' at 16:35? http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching

Since his specialties are masculinity and politics, he's the quintessentially perfect man to have such a poignant conversation with...and with manhood being marginalized more than ever in Western culture, the timing has never been better. The first thing you'll find out about Frank is that he not only lives life to the fullest, he's curious enough to gain as much knowledge as he can along the way. I LOVE guys like that. You can look forward to insider tales about running with the bulls and how Ernest Hemmingway was a badass. Even though modern society can't handle the idea of a true Renaissance Man, men who are both genteel and adventurous are still somehow revered. You'll discover how to get out of the box and maximize your potential. Then you'll be treated to the most compelling and amazing boxing story since Rocky...only this one is one-hundred percent true. Speaking of movies, find out the specific way real men talked in old, classic movies compared to how manhood is represented in modern-day Hollywood.

Co-Host Mike Domitrz (http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/kiss) Mike Domitrz (rhymes with 'Amish') tours the country talking to crowds of men and women about consent. Knowing how confusing, potentially scary and flat-out frustrating this topic is to so many of us as men, this is one of the most anticipated episodes ever. And you're in for a no-holds-barred session where everything gets thrown on the table. We dive right in, starting with WTF is happening at our universities and workplaces...are men under attack simply for being heterosexual? Then, you'll discover how to check off the 'consent' box without being awkward, dorky and ruining the moment. The number one sign of sexual immaturity and why you should run from it. What to do if you don't exactly feel smooth and cool when it's time to get physical with a woman. How to handle 'Netflix and chill'. What to do when she asks, 'Should we be doing this?' Does 'yes' ever really mean 'no', and if so what's a man to do? Mike also has an answer for for any guy who believes a woman might cry 'rape' after consenting. You'll even get a fresh take on the strategies of 'liquid courage' and getting women drunk. Plus, you'll get the definitive word on how giving women a choice isn't giving your power away, and how to be a man instead of a wimp all the while. And how does seduction fit into this discussion? Is Star Wars really 'rapey'? http://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/coaching

Will you leave this world better than you found it? Will you be remembered or even revered for the positive influence you had? Remarkably, the vast majority of men walking this Earth not only have no answer for those questions, they don't even care. Why is that? Do we lack passion, leaving us unmotivated and apathetic? Well, my co-host for this episode is the world famous author of the mega-bestselling E-Myth book series and self-proclaimed 'Chief Agitator', Michael E. Gerber. Now 80 years old, Michael has been rattling the cages of countless would-be entrepreneurs for over 40 years, and is widely considered the father of modern-day business coaching. But despite his infamous reputation for disruption, he's one of the warmest--and wisest--men you'd ever hope to meet. Listen in as he shares brilliant and at times wholly unexpected angles on how to leave your legacy...and why you should want to. Oh, and there's one other bit that I had to make sure Michael talked about. He married his lovely wife at age 70, and she absolutely adores him. Whether you're 20, 30, 50 or over 70 sit back and get inspired by Michael's joy for life and boundless vision.

For this milestone episode of the big show, having the best co-host ever was a must, if not a moral imperative. The choice was obvious, given that he's my biggest influence and greatest role model. It's none other than my Dad, of course...Russ McKay. This is the first time in the eleven year history of X & Y Communications that I've done an audio with him, and to say it was well worth the wait is an understatement. As he describes what has made his relationship with my Mom so exemplary for over 55 years, he mixes in a golden take on love at first sight along with gems like 'you can't fake love' and 'love is the one touch with infinity that we can have as human beings'. Then you'll hear what it was like to be a rockstar in 1961 sub-Saharan Africa. After that, you'll get shocking revelations about working with supermodels in New York City. But what's truly going to fry your circuits is how a working-class Baltimore guy was able to make friends with billionaires, Hall of Fame athletes and even the Royal Family...all of whom loved him and welcomed him into their social circles. Out of breath yet? Stay tuned...because Dad also has the secret to being witty on the fly AND the voice of experience on how to be a real man.

Some men firmly believe that every one of us has a certain old flame our life who we think of as 'The One Who Got Away'. We either had her or thought we did, but the relationship slipped through our fingers and she was gone. The loss can be devastating, throwing us into a vortex of grief for months, years or even decades. Why is it that we pine for that one woman in our past, even when we know it's no darned good for us and we need to move on? And geez...what if we let it happen more than once? Well, according to my co-host, relationship expert Susan Winter, there are actually powerful mind triggers that cause us to pine away for someone so deeply. But thankfully, you can actually use those same psychological principles to reverse course and move on for good. Susan also explains why there's never such thing as 'the last bus', and I share my own strange but true story of how I loved, lost, lost my mind and finally recovered from the devastating breakup. All that and some hilarious surprises are in store for you in this unique episode. The brand new Mountain Top Coaching Program is now live.

My co-host Dawoon Kang and her sisters famously refused Mark Cuban's 30M offer for their dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. Now she's on the show for a frank discussion about the differences between how men and women date...much of it based on her company's own market research. Personally, I think their app should have been called "Beer Meets Pretzels", but as it turns out there's a strategic reason why that wouldn't have been the best plan. In this show you'll discover what "high quality" means to both men and women...based on survey results. Plus, you'll hear their genius solution to ghosting, along with the 100% ninja way they actually make their woman-friendly app more GUY friendly by removing the single biggest bane of every man's online dating existence. In fact, they actually HELP us as guys solve another major area of online dating that usually leaves us twisting in the wind. Oh, and just for good measure, Dawoon's shocking take on hook-up culture will NOT be what you expect to hear. Fair warning: You'll have to get used to Dawoon referring to human beings in terms typically reserved for breakfast items, but hey...that's branding. Need coaching?

Have you ever noticed that half of your Facebook friends are from high school? Meanwhile, most of the other half are from college. The crazy part is you're not alone. After all, half of your friends' friends are on your friend list too. What is up with us nowadays? How come it's so incredibly challenging to make friends with other dudes after you graduate from school? According to at least one survey out there, the average number of close friends the typical adult American male has is...wait for it...zero. That means the number is closer to zero than one. The truth is, even though we can make friends so easily when we're a kid, it tends to feels weird when we're adults. Could it be we practice talking to women, but never practice talking to other men? Or maybe it's much more than just that. Well, my co-host Kyle Ingham from The Distilled Man and I both have our theories, and in this show we're not only going to throw them on the table, we're going to give you step-by-step secrets to building your social circle with male friends and even find some you can confide in...all without looking needy, douchey or worse.

Has seduction in the true sense of the word gone the way of chivalry...seemingly irrelevant in today's post-modern feminist world? Following on the success of the last episode, join another New Yorker friend of mine, Jennifer Rhodes of Rapport Relationships, for the clearest conversation ever defining true seduction from a woman's perspective. Could confusion about this very topic be why men and women are having a harder time connecting these days on first dates? You'll discover the counter-intuitive truth about the very foundation of seduction itself...and I guarantee it's the OPPOSITE of everything you've ever been taught. Jennifer will also reveal what women have done to shoot themselves in the foot, depriving themselves of a quality romantic experience with a man. But then again, she'll also reveal the biggest mistake we as men make that robs us of the chance to be a master seducer.

There's no doubt about it...where you live can have a massive effect on your experience dating and relating to women. My co-host Rachel Russo is a matchmaker in her native New York City, so there's nobody better to talk urban dating with. So how about it...do 'alpha' career women in a city like The Big Apple have all the power? Rachel's first-hand take might surprise you. But what about living in a rural area? If you do, listen in for a counterintuitive but brilliant secret to meeting more women. We'll even hash out how to avoid the same old boring dates if you live in the suburbs. How is it that people can live in city a population of 20 million and still feel lonely? Are beautiful women everywhere really being jetted to Papeete by billionaires, leaving us 'normal' guys with no chance whatsoever? And most importantly, was that Rachel's pet pig that oinked at 29:30, or what? By the way, I realize now it was Eva not Zsa-Zsa, so cut me a break, will you?

First off, let's get the most important part out of the way. Yes...you'll be able to relate to this episode and enjoy it regardless of your spiritual leanings. Weirdly enough, it doesn't matter if you're a man of faith, agnostic, atheist or anywhere in between...chances are extremely likely that you can't stand going to church. In fact, you probably avoid it at all costs. For most of us, that's a foregone conclusion we don't spend much time thinking about. It is what it is. But what happens when you finally sit down and wrestle with the question of 'why'? My co-host David Murrow did exactly that, almost to the point of obsession. The end result is a stream of consciousness that is as brilliant as it is iconoclastic. David is not a preacher or clergyman of any kind. Therefore, there are no 'sacred cows' he has to protect. That means you can expect a no-holds-barred conversation that's likely to fry your circuits. He says all the things everyone else is afraid to, and it all makes perfect sense in the end. Add it all up, and you get one of the most unique episodes ever, and a whole lot of fun.

It only takes a mere thirty seconds for someone to form a first impression of you. So what's it gonna be? According to my friend and co-host Kimberly Seltzer (but you can call her 'Kim'), all the magic is in the clothes you wear, other elements of personal style, your attitude and your social skills. In fact, you might be amazed how much your first impression is made or broken even before you say anything. Kim is super smart, full of energy and a ton of fun, so tune in for a fast-paced discussion on 'double yay-hoos', 'sergeant waitresses', 'Rockers For Dockers' and everything else in between. You'll also discover what's in a name, and who 'Susy' is. All of this and more in one of the most hilarious episodes we've recorded lately.

Did you know that almost everyone experiences shyness? So why is it we always think we're the only ones feeling it? Well, my guest the time around is none other than Myke Macapinlac from Social Confidence Mastery. Now, you may not have ever felt compelled to eat your lunch in a bathroom stall back in high school like he did, but wherever you are on the shyness scale you're sure to be inspired by how far he has come since emigrating to Canada from the Philippines at age 17. I have to admit, I was plenty shy and socially awkward myself back in school, so this conversation with Myke was an easy one to have. It's all for your benefit, of course. Find out what Myke did to beat shyness over the head until it stops twitching, along with six steps you can take to do the same. Myke's an easy going, likable guy, so you can look forward to one of the most inspiring episodes in quite some time.

He's a fast talker, but he's equally quick on his feet. That can only mean my co-host Rob Judge from Date Hotter Women is a grand master at talking to women.

Justin Stenstrom is the man behind both Elite Man Magazine and the popular Elite Man podcast. He and I made friends immediately, which meant it was a must to have him on the show. The unique topic on the table for this episode is facing fears and anxiety, dealing with them when necessary and--when you should--beating them over the head with a shovel until they stop twitching. Listen in to discover the simple truth that will help you get past habitual worry once and for all. Of course, we also talk about approach anxiety. Plus we'll define 'confidence' for you, before moving on to a no-nonsense breakdown of the fear of failure vs. fear of success. You'll also find out why post-modern life really brings LESS adventure for most people, and you'll get Justin's three-step process for conquering the fear that paralyzes you. Justin is running a big time conference in the Boston area this August, and I'm thrilled and honored to be a speaker at it.

Johnnie Raines is a Hollywood casting director best known for working on reality television shows like The Bachelor. His latest project is called 'First Love, True Love', which will be bringing together couples who knew each other in the past but haven't seen each other in years. As soon as Johnnie contacted me about that, I immediately recognized it as a brilliant topic that has never been covered on this show. With the meteoric rise of social media it's almost impossible NOT to find yourself catching up with someone, if not everyone, you haven't seen in ages. So then, is it ever a good idea to rekindle an 'old flame'? And what about someone you've secretly desired ever since high school or college, but never had the chance to connect with in the first place? What are the chances it'll turn out to be true love instead of a major disaster? And if you do decide to go for it, how do you go about it? Plus, there's plenty of time to talk about reality TV in general, and even a chance for you to be on Johnnie's new show. At the end, I also tell you how to get your hands on my free special report on how to reconnect with women on Facebook: http://www.thechickwhisperer.com/facebook

Maybe you've seen the beer commercial that's been on sports channels lately where all the sexy women are 'holding out for a hero'. Weirdly, some guys are all up in arms about that commercial, somehow seeing it as an example of how men are disparaged in the media. But what's the problem? Isn't a man SUPPOSED to be a hero...especially to women? And as such, is it really a slap in the face for women to WANT us to be heroic? After all, not enough of us ARE these days. Here's what I think...we as guys have simply lost touch with what it means to be a hero, mostly because we have no idea what a hero even looks like. My long-time friend and co-host Justice Donnelly from Steal Her Heart agrees. What's more, both of us firmly believe that BEING a woman's hero is one of the most valid (and almost supernaturally powerful) ways to feel like a man. In this epic episode we talk about heroism and role models in a way you're guaranteed to have never heard before. Find out how heroes aren't without their faults, and why that's actually OKAY. And what about real vs. fictional characters as masculine examples...are most guys fooling themselves, or what? Plus, get ready for a radical take on the anti-heroism trend in television and movies.

If you're guilty of being a 'nice guy', you know how frustrating it is to hear women tell you they're 'just not feeling it'...right before they banish you to the dreaded Just Be Friends zone. But WHY does this happen...especially when all women ever talk about is how much they want to find a 'nice guy'? If you're who they really want, then why do so many hot, sexy women end up with idiots and jerks instead? Well, in this episode I'm joined by the host of the Nice Guy Dating Podcast himself, Kevin Alexander. Get ready for a completely different take on what's wrong with the 'nice guy' persona, and how you can get out from under it and start making women genuinely 'feel it' for you, for a change. I guarantee Kevin's revolutionary thoughts on this topic, combined with one of my more epic rants all-time, will conspire to get you out of the JBF Zone and into the hearts, minds and naughty fantasies of women everywhere.

What...you didn't think I'd get some dude on this episode, did you? Of course not. You want straight facts from a woman herself, which is why I got one who's 100 percent woman all the time. That's none other than Shana James of AMP fame, who jumped at the chance to do this show. What more would you expect from someone who runs the men's Sexual Satisfaction Summit these days?

This unique episode kicks off with an exciting announcement. We welcome a new expert to the X & Y Communications team. That's none other than Trace Loft of Massage Your Date fame. Now Trace isn't a smooth talking pickup artist, but since he loves spending time with sexy women he needed to develop a way to get more of them in his life. What he's discovered (and now teaches) gets right to the heart of what WORKS with women. Listen in as Trace talks about how to make a woman feel comfortable with you, how to initiate physical contact and even what to do if she has unusually large breasts. We'll also answer the age-old question made famous by Pulp Fiction: Is a foot massage, just a foot massage? Count on this episode to challenge your mindset and empower you with a new perspective that just might bring more naked women into your world...just like it did for Trace. Oh, and most incredible part is that they'll love every minute of it. Have you visited the brand new show notes page? It's all here at: http://www.thechickwhisperer.com

I just met my co-host for this show, but I can already tell you she's out of control, over the top and probably a little bit nuts. But she wouldn't have it any other way, and neither would you. Get this...she's written over 500 different seduction scenarios, and is a multiple-time New York Times bestselling author as a direct result. In this episode, Laura puts me in the 'hot seat', wanting to test just how smart I am at this 'chick whispering' stuff. Geez, some of those questions she was brave enough to ask me required some of the quickest thinking ever in the history of the show. But let's just say she gets more than she bargained for, often to her uproarious delight. In all seriousness though, I was completely skeptical about the honey bit and the sex necklace...but hey, she made her point and I have to give her credit for some original ideas, which there are far too few of in this life. I still have no idea how she expected me to clairvoyantly figure out what that 'Oster-izer' thing was for, but let's just say I left you a link to it on the show notes page at: http://www.thechickwhisperer.com

My co-host Susan Bratton is a really nice, classy lady. But underneath the 'Lois Lane' exterior of this CEO of Personal Life Media is one of the most active sexpert minds in the world today. When you listen to this episode, you'll immediately love her energy and her friendly style...and you'll definitely appreciate how committed she is to getting us as guys to be better in the bedroom. But WOW...it's the endless stream of bang-on accurate sex advice (pun intended) that will keep you tuned in. This episode is all about giving you the power to thrill the woman in your life with the most mind-blowing 'sex date night' of all time, sure to fry your girl's circuits and addict her to you. Let's just say somewhere Barry White is jealous. And hey, with a topic like this one you just KNOW that we brought our sense of humor along...so don't feel guilty if you find yourself laughing like you're back in school again. It's shameless, I tell you, particularly when Susan starts contending with me about how orange is the new black. Have you had a chance to behold the new website notes page yet?

What do you get when you put two of the most experienced, devastatingly effective and fastest-talking dating coaches on the same episode together? If you guessed 'mayhem', you're not too far off...but in the best way possible. Let me tell you, David Wygant and I wasted no time getting to the good stuff. When the dust cleared...boom...there was some of the best advice ever recorded on audio about how to be a dominant male who attracts women like catnip. But before we got to all of that, we were sure to solve Dave's own most recent dating dilemma, rant pretty hard on what sells versus what really works and generally spit fire at about a dozen other poignant men's interests. Yes, plenty of what we covered is as controversial as it gets, but I urge you to hear us out. All I can say is that I sincerely hope you either write fast or have an amazing memory...no joke.

Just when millions of guys started thinking they could get the hang of online dating, along came Tinder and shook up everything. Mass mayhem ensued as the sexiest women imaginable started showing up on smartphones...only to NEVER materialize into real world dates. Well, if you can relate to that kind of pain, this is your lucky day. I've wrangled the stone cold gnarliest hombre west of the Pecos for this show...none other than Scott Valdez from Virtual Dating Assistants. Hundreds of guys literally outsource their online dating to Scott, and he delivers ridiculous results. So you gotta know he has guaranteed hot tips for pictures, profile, messaging and even how to move women from Tinder or Happen to in-person meetings in a flash. How is Tinder different than 'conventional' online dating? What mindset shifts do you need to be successful? And best of all, what are the killer hacks that will get women swiping right even as all the other guys shake their heads in frustration?

My guest for this episode is likely to piss you off. But he's also probably going to save your life. How's that? Well, what you're about to hear flies in the face of virtually everything you've ever been taught about what to eat (and how to eat it) for maximum health. You're not going to like it. Like me, you'll probably have a strong urge to disagree. You might even think Matt is a total quack. But the thing is, his advice flat-out WORKS. You've got to hear what Matt has to say about bottled water, vegetable oil, potatoes, the right and wrong kind of probiotics, which eggs to buy and even leftovers. Also discover why two of the most basic staples of our diet are contributing to practically every common infirmity. Is that dry chicken breast really the way to lose weight? What's an even bigger enemy than cholesterol? What are the common dietary factors tied to longevity? And what are lectins, anyway? NOTHING is sacred, not even the beloved mantra that 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day'. Buckle up, pour your cheap shampoo down the drain and listen closely...what you're going to hear will blow you away. http://www.thechickwhisperer.com

Who knows how, but we've managed to go way too long around here without talking about approaching and talking to women. With that in mind, my guest for this show is one of the most well-known pickup artists of the last ten years or so. Given that his style of writing and talking about women has historically differed greatly from mine, I figured it was time to shake things up a bit and compare notes on how to talk to women and create attraction. Was what resulted a hot mess or did we end up seeing eye-to-eye more than expected? That's for you to find out in this latest episode...but you can bet on gaining tremendous (and even original) insight into how to spark conversation with women that makes them drop everything and adore you. Isn't that what it's ultimately all about anyway? http://www.thechickwhisperer.com

What can I say about my co-host for this episode? He makes decisions on a daily basis that hold lives of innocent children in the balance. He fights challenges that give others the chills--even if they only dare to watch from afar. Everyone he knows recognizes his rock-solid character and looks to him for direction and wisdom. His wife adores him endlessly, even as she confidently stands with him in the trenches. Not only have his daughters followed in his footsteps, so have their fiances. By now you're probably picturing a high-dollar family law attorney, elected official, pediatric brain surgeon or even a superhero. But Daryl is a self-proclaimed 'normal guy' just like you and me. Yet no matter what he says, he lives in an extraordinary world where he and his wife are basically the Mother Theresas of Guatemala. Listen as Daryl talks openly about how he makes the gut wrenching life-and-death decisions that most men would wilt under or run away from. Prepare to be left slackjawed by how he talks about being a 'hero'. His words on how to love your wife are more right-on than any best-selling relationship author could ever string together. And yes...I was sure to ask him for his best 'golden nugget' on how to be a man. http://www.thechickwhisperer.com

Known as Rasputin in Neil Strauss's book The Game, my co-host Eric Von Sydow has been teaching men the art of masculine power and attraction for over two decades, mentoring legends along the way. At long last he's on the show dropping wisdom on how to know what you want, giving yourself the best shot at getting it, and how to handle life's inevitable pitfalls along the way. The coolest part about this show was shootin' the breeze with a guy whose priorities couldn't be more different than mine on the surface, but whose overall philosophies are right on the same wavelength. As you listen to this unique episode, you're sure to be empowered with a new sense of freedom--especially when it comes to your lifestyle and the women you choose to share it with.

My co-host for this show is Amy Waterman, whose first interview with me nearly nine years ago (still part of Deserve What You Want) became the stuff of legends. I'm excited to announce that she's back from a five year 'retirement' of sorts, and this is her very first foray back into the world of men's dating and seduction advice. As always, Amy has a weird but wonderful knack for understanding male/female interaction in a way few others do. Better still, she is especially passionate about making men uber-successful with women. Wait until you hear what she has to say about how to make women adore you before you even TALK to them, along with some powerful ways to charm women that leave them breathless. Plus, you'll get truly unique insights into how men and women think differently, and why knowing the truth is a 'silver bullet' advantage over other guys. And hey...just for good measure, why not a word on how to get a woman whose just had a boob job to show off for you? Man, you just gotta love a woman like Amy whose 'pro guy' all the way.

It all started innocently enough, I promise. I had the occasion to meet sexy professional poker player Anna Khait because she has been interested in dating and relationship science lately. So naturally, I invited her to co-host the big show with me, originally with the idea of talking about how to read "poker faced" women. That in and of itself is a HUGE topic for a lot of guys, and fear not...we dropped a big heavy hammer on it. But things REALLY got out of hand when the the whole idea of strip poker came up. I wasted no time getting Anna to spill every expert secret she had, including her first-hand knowledge on how to get hot women EXCITED to play. Of course, you're also going to want to know how get the whole thing rolling to begin with, and EXACTLY what to do once it's going. Wait until you hear the practically ninja-proof strategies involved there. If that wasn't enough, we then dove off the deep end, bringing up the idea of skinny dipping. Do the same principles apply? And what about 'Spin The Bottle' and 'Truth or Dare'? You're just going to have to listen and find out for yourself. Let's just say that 'strip happens', and women just might LOVE getting naked...if you let them.

Bill and Ted once famously asked the evil version of themselves what number they were thinking of: '69, dude!' Well, that episode has finally arrived, and to celebrate this momentous occasion I got none other than fellow podcast host Angel Donovan of Dating Skills Review to sit in with me as co-host. The topic he's passionate about these days is FAST and EFFICIENT success with women, which sounded good to me. So in this action-packed show we hit the ground running with some CRAZY conversation covering what's potentially been holding you back from greatness with women (could it be physiological?), how to peg your personal power to the redline, how to end the cycle of going through one book or program after another without getting desired results, and even the unique but DEVASTATINGLY powerful steps I personally use with guys in-field that revolutionizes how many women they meet. (Yes I spill it ALL.) Plus we'll talk about why the booming #MGTOW movement is probably doing the OPPOSITE for men as they hope. To top it all off, we'll even reveal a disarmingly simple step that makes you feel like a MAN instead of a little boy...but not before we demonstrate why single guys shouldn't drive Nissan Altimas (huh?).

Let's say you wake up after the nightmare of a divorce or bad breakup. The rest of the world is the same, but somehow you're...different. If you can relate, so can I...along with this episode's co-host, Ben Adams. Hold on and get ready for a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT kind of show this time around. You see, Ben is the author of Six Months To Get A Life. This is no self-help book, but rather a novel about moving on after divorce. Better yet, it's flat-out HILARIOUS. Truth be told, Ben just went through a pretty gnarly divorce of his own so LOTS of what he writes about hits close to home. Let's just say you can count on us to throw all the craziest aspects of moving on after divorce out on the table. That includes (among other things) dealing with exes, unsolicited opinions from teenage offspring and mistaken identity on blind dates. Pour yourself a cold one and enjoy this show, it's got more than its fair share of laughs.

There's plenty of talk about there on how to score first dates and what to do when you get there. But what about SECOND dates? Now that you know the two of you like each other enough to go out again, THEN WHAT? Is she going to expect to be your steady girlfriend? How can you tell if she's really into you or just giving you a second chance not to mess up? Shouldn't you have kissed her by now?

On top of all else, we hear from Josh in Philly regarding a particular 2nd date disaster he had to endure.

Sure, there are TONS of books out there on the Internet about how to get your ex back...but what if the relationship is officially DONE for?

What guy hasn't stopped and asked himself at some point if ALL women are crazy? Well, who better to ponder such deep questions with than a woman? So I invited Heather Havenwood from Dating Triggers to be my co-host, and what do you know? She gladly accepted. (I think, 'What took you so long?' were her exact words.) Now, you may know that the whole topic of psycho chicks is a rather touchy one for me, so you can expect the epic rant you bargained for. What you might NOT be expecting is what Heather contributes to the conversation. In the end, you're guaranteed to be one step farther away from getting tangled up with the WRONG woman. All this and more, after we answer a solid voicemail from David in Oklahoma who asks, 'Where am I supposed to meet women?' Here's a hint: don't even think about 'man spandex'.

We love women. We love having sex with women. We've heard that women love to have sex with us also. But how is it that some guys seem to turn women on so effortlessly, while the vast majority of others are left completely mystified? In case you haven't heard already, the ability to make women hot for you is a learned skill...the art of creating 'sexual tension'. Tragically, most men completely misunderstand the concept, if they bother to even TRY to wrap their heads around it at all...hence the proliferation of bad texting and lame sexual innuendo that goes on. So what in the world ARE we talking about here? How DO you make it happen? And how are we supposed to reconcile being a 'sexual threat' with the recent proliferation of YouTube videos that would have us believe we're practically rapists if we even talk to a woman on the street? Most of all, how come all of those pickup artists who were telling us that 'marriage is for wimps' back in 2005 all have wives and kids now? New Yorker Chris 'Sixty' Anderson joins me to handle all of those questions and more...including one from Dennis in New Jersey who dropped us a line to ask if being thirty pounds overweight is what's REALLY killing his mojo lately.

The newest (and arguably biggest) trend in sex over the past few years has been to get female porn stars to teach guys how to pleasure women. As you may know, I've always been extremely skeptical that this whole phenomenon was backed by any real substance. Well, after years of simply avoiding the issue, I've finally invited Joshua Rose, the man behind Porn Star Sex Life, to sit in as co-host and hash this whole thing out once and for all. Is Josh simply hiring the sexiest adult film vixens he can find to teach his programs, or are these women really qualified? And what about porn itself...can guys actually learn anything valid from watching it, or is porn consumption leading to mostly BAD habits in the bedroom? And wait...how did Joshua get this gig to begin with? Get ready for a barrage of more shockingly honest answers than you're probably expecting. As if all of that didn't make for enough controversy, Joshua and I also handle a voicemail from Mike In Cincinnati, whose wife has given him a 'hall pass' to sleep with other women...but how's he supposed to explain THAT to the other women?

Prior to his current high-profile run for a US Congress seat in California, Antonio Sabato, Jr. was a former Calvin Klein underwear model who's perhaps best known for his role on TV's General Hospital. He's been in countless movies and TV shows since, and along the way has been with women like Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Virginia Madsen and Madonna. Now he's giving out all of his advice about women on his blog. Believe me, I know what you're wondering...and yes, I asked him ALL of those questions and more. So what can this guy POSSIBLY have to say that relates to you and me? Well, suffice it to say you're about to find out as you listen to this truly unique episode...which could be the strangest and most surprising one ever. Just to make things even more interesting, Antonio and I answer a great voicemail from Jason in Oakland, California who wonders how often he should call or text a woman between the first and second dates.

Mark Manson is a former pickup artist, wildly popular blogger, world traveler and now the wildly-popular New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*uck. He checked in for this episode from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to share adventure stories with me about world travel and the women you're likely to meet along the way. What's it like to immerse oneself in both the best AND the worst that India can possibly throw at you? What's it REALLY like to be in a Muslim country? And most of all, what are the most surprising ways that travel changes you as a human being? Count on hearing some crazy stories about everything from chess to cricket, even as we debate the psychology behind the mystique surrounding foreign women. We also throw everything we've got at a seriously deep e-mail from another Mark in Twin Falls, Idaho. He asks the existential question that haunts millions of men all over the world: 'How on Earth can I pull an endless stream of hotties while still indulging my boundless passion for fantasy novels and role playing games?'

It's no secret that women think differently than we as men do, therefore their actions are oftentimes difficult to interpret. It can drive us stark raving nuts...as well as keeping us from enjoying the company of the very women we desire the most. Well, this time I'm joined by Craig Miller, who has recently authored something called the Sexual Decoder System. He's about to reveal to you some shocking secrets about the type of hints and 'hidden messages' that women send us all the time when they're attracted to us, but which most men completely miss. The truth is pretty straightforward: if you're missing the signals, you're missing out on a LOT of women in your life. But the good news is once you know what to look for, your fortunes with women will increase exponentially...and fast. While we're at it, we address a voicemail from Chris in San Diego who's not exactly a 'party guy', but he finds himself particularly attracted to 'party GIRLS'. Does he stand a chance at getting in on the action he wants? And if so how? All this and more in this surprising episode.

It's been in the works for over two years now, but the stars have finally aligned and my co-host this time around is none other than Dr. Robert Glover of 'No More Mr. Nice Guy' fame. If you know anything about this guy's work, you've already figured out that he and I think a lot alike when it comes to how masculinity and femininity ignite each other. Well, in this episode we engage the epic topic of how to be a quintessentially high quality masculine man. What's more, we reveal how to be intentional about it in a way that demonstrates you know exactly what you're doing. I can double-dog guarantee you that once you've taken in this fluff-free hour of top-notch content you'll be igniting femaleness like some sort of masculine pyromaniac (which is a very good thing). Just to make sure this episode truly blows you away, we also answer a voice mail from Robert in Indiana on how to raise our sons to be real men.

Let's face it, it's good to have a strong, powerful sex drive. The horny life is the good life, and unfortunately a lot of guys only fully realize that after it's too late. It's for that exact reason that I welcome sexpert Jason Julius from Orgasm Arts as my co-host on this episode. Jason's one of those completely cool, down-to-earth sex teachers who tells it like it is without a lot of "woo-woo" stuff to get in the way. Discover what his three pillars to a consistently high sex drive are, and how you can make sure yours are always, um...rock solid. Don't worry, I made sure to ask all the questions everyone else might have been too shy to. We also answer a particularly good voice mail question from Tim in Oakland, CA who wants to know what to do when you'd like to get frisky with a woman but don't have a place of your own.

All too many times, we as guys start stockpiling a series of 'limiting beliefs' without really paying much attention. Over time, our self-perceived challenges start looking so insurmountable that we're more likely to give up than to try to tackle such a formidable list. But that's where my new friend Greg Palumbo comes in. According to him, the best way to get a handle on EVERY potential issue keeping you from greatness in virtually every area of life is actually to handle just ONE of them. Weirdly, he also claims that a very easy 'metabolic trick' is the answer. And check it out...he just may be on to something because dude's been walking his talk, majorly. You'll be able to tell immediately that this guy is the real deal, simply by the enthusiasm in his voice as he spills his secrets. We also answer a solid voicemail from Raj in DC, who asks how in the world to figure out what kind of woman is best to get into a long-term relationship with.

By popular request from literally dozens of you over the past couple of years, I'm joined on this episode by my brother from a different McKay mother...that's none other than Brett McKay from the wildly popular Art Of Manliness blog. The topic we just HAD to hit was what it means to be a real man in today's modern world. Sure, you may not have to defend Sparta with an undermanned army, but you DO have to know what it means to be a man in the way women can't get enough of. And yes...you've also got to have some key knowledge down nowadays that ancient Greek badasses never had to concern themselves with. Look forward to some seriously profound new insights into what being a man is all about, as Brett has done at least as much thinking--and probably twice as much writing--as I have on all of this stuff. We also answer a voicemail from Jacob in Albuquerque, who's definitely barking up the wrong tree when it comes to finding the right place to meet like-minded women...geez, dude. If you haven't heard about Female Persuasion yet, it's my first all-new program in nearly two years. Now you can get any woman to WANT to do anything for you. http://www.female-persuasion.com

Why is it so hard for us as guys to get our lives on track and get on with the business of 'living the dream'? Is it that we're too lazy? Are we not talented enough? Or is it something else? Listen in as my co-host Zach Browman drops some shocking truth about why laziness is probably a MYTH (at least as you know it), and how you can finally start outperforming the true slackers in your graduating class. Wait until you get a load of what Zach has to say--rest assured you'll laugh yourself to sleep tonight thinking about how easy it really is to kick your life into gear and get women to naturally want you. We also answer a really good voicemail question from Rene in 'Nawlins' on how to handle women who are rude are disrespectful to you, but who you can't exactly just walk away from--like co-workers, relatives, etc. If you've never gotten around to checking out Zach Browman's killer anti-procrastination program Find Your Focus, don't put it off another second.

It was over a few beers in Las Vegas that my co-host Dean Cortez and I decided it was time to 'break the mold' and do a completely different episode of this show. Suffice it to say that's exactly what you're about to experience. Join Mr. M.A.C.K. Tactics himself and I for a totally off-the-wall and at times completely inappropriate rant on those crazy women you see on shows like Bridezillas and Real Housewives of NJ. While we're at it, we segue into a frank discussion of how likely it is you'll actually find the woman of your dreams in another country as opposed to her getting her green card and ruining you shortly thereafter. Dean currently lives in the Philippines, so you can bet he's got a take on that. Finally, we go back and forth in response to Nate in Sacramento's question about whether or not it's a good idea to date single moms. As a special free gift, you can download Dean's decidedly edgy but totally kickin' e-book called The S.W.A.T. guide just by visiting http://www.thechickwhisperer.com/mack.

Just when you think you've heard it all when it comes to sex advice, I get an upstart 'sexpert' like Adam Armstrong to co-host the big show with me. And there's really no question about it...you're about to hear stuff talked about that has probably NEVER been discussed publicly. Never mind the bit where we recommend exactly what to do when either you or she farts during the heat of passion. The important part is we're going to give you real, practical ways to identify the truly sexual tiger-lilies out there in the female universe (and sorry Frank from Michigan, they're NOT at the strip clubs). Plus, you'll hear what foods to eat and which to avoid in order to maximize your sexual performance--even delivering a marked increase in your 'payload'. There's much, much more where that came from, of course. It all kicks off with a rant on how rough a week it's been for everyone else on Earth named 'Armstrong' except for Adam--whose girlfriend is apparently capable of ANYTHING in the bedroom. By all means, check out Adam's Dirty Talk Phrases book at www.thechickwhisperer.com/dirty and catch us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/scotandemily.

What does it mean to truly be erotic, and why does it drive women so crazy? Join my illustrious co-host Allana Pratt and me as we talk about how to separate yourself from other guys who focus only on the 'sexual' without exploring the deeper side of male/female polarity. Allana reveals powerful secrets to being the man who turns women on at their very core, giving new meaning to the phrase 'getting physical'. While we're at it, I get Allana to explain why women can indulge in romance novels and 'literotica' even as they get angry and jealous at men for watching porn. (What's up with that, anyway?) In keeping with the theme of the show, we also answer a short but sweet voicemail from Randy in New York, who wants to know how to keep his long-term relationship from getting stale and boring.

Remember back in school when everyone wanted to be one of the 'cool kids'? Well, nothing has really changed, huh? Sure, it's great to be invited to happy hour after work with all the movers and shakers in your office, but what if you could really take your social life to a level that most guys can only dream of?

I hope this doesn't shock you, but guess what? There really ISN'T a designated place and/or time to meet women. The raw truth is that women are all around you...all the time...all day long. The only real question is what are YOU going to do about it? Are you equipped to interact freely with ANY and EVERY woman you see as you go about your daily life? Join my co-host Lance Mason from Pickup 101 and me as we go WAY, WAY beyond what's commonly known as 'daygame' and get down to what a full-on LIFESTYLE of meeting and relating to women can really, truly look like. Amazingly, you (yes, YOU) could get to know more women TODAY if you only made the best of your regular trips to, say, the gym and the supermarket. Lance and I have got your back, with the often-requested practical tips you can use in BOTH places--even if we pretty much openly DISAGREE on some of them. Hey...we report, you decide.

Fellow gearheads and connoisseurs of fine women rejoice... Joining me for this show is Matt Farah from TV's The Car Show on Speed Channel and head car nut over at thesmokingtire.com. We hit the ground running (or make that rolling) with a great voicemail question on which car to drive if you want to attract women, but you DON'T want to look like a pretentious prettyboy. Then we dive right into the subject du jour, talking back and forth about every single thing you can think of, as long as women and cars are involved. Which cars are 'girl cars' and should therefore be avoided? What should you do if you can't exactly afford a killer ride at the moment? And what if you're stuck with a station wagon or (God forbid) a mini-van? We cover all of that and more, including some surprising info on women and motorcycles and--best of all--how to make sure the DRIVER (that's you) is doing his part to generate massive attraction in women.

Most guys tend to suspect that men with POWER are the ones who get all the women. That can be social power, physical power, financial power and even intellectual power. But what if you're not exactly the center of your social circle, don't have the physique of a WWE wrestler, aren't exactly a Yale graduate and can't write a check for a million bucks? Can you still attract the women you REALLY want? The answer is a resounding YES...but you'll have to know how to harness your inner badass and introduce him to the world. Josh and I are going to show you how to do exactly that...all in the name of making the chicks go wild and scream your name (or at least one special one). Listen in as we also answer a terrific voicemail from Brian in Kentucky on whether he should try to get his ex back or go ahead and let his ex set him up with her hot friends instead, like she wants to. Wait until you hear our surprising answers to that one.

Why is it that so many of us as guys all over the world aren't having as much sex as we'd like to? I mean, even guys who have a woman in their lives tend to complain that they're not getting enough--and when it does happen it's a bit weird or even flat-out boring because she's not really into it at all. So the big question is this: If women love sex so much, as we're always told is the case, what's wrong with this picture? What's most frustrating of all is that this whole issue is particularly common when it comes to women giving us oral pleasures. Well, join world-class sexual satisfaction expert Michael Fiore and I as we talk about finding an 'oral fixation' for the problem at hand. We'll also cover other great ways to make women WANT the same level and frequency of sexual passion that you do...and how to make it happen. Wait until you see what's possible through text messaging alone. In addition, find out about Michael's recent appearance on the Rachael Ray show, and whether she actually looks good in person or not.

So what is a guy like the undisputed king of 'same night lays', Nick Quick, doing on a show like this? The answer is pretty simple, really. You see, Nick was just recently in an exclusive, monogamous relationship with a woman who really knocked his socks off. So wait a minute, here...why would a guy who can sleep with a different woman every night get a steady girlfriend? What led to that choice? And arguably the best question of all, was he able to make leave his previous lifestyle behind? We wanted to know! And sure enough, Nick covers all those questions and more...all in a twisting, turning discussion that eventually evolves into a full-bore expose on why, with whom and under what circumstances women choose to have sex. Fascinating stuff awaits, believe me. We also answer a voice mail from Ron in Louisiana on how to handle being with a woman who just might be 'on the rebound'.

We already know that women all over the world love a guy with a sense of humor, right? But is 'having a sense of humor' necessarily the same thing as knowing how to make her laugh? Stand-up comedienne and dating coach Elaine Davis sits in to discuss the finer points of this all-important topic, and I'll give you a hint: Sorting through all of this might not be as complex as you thought. Find out why being 'funny' isn't always your instant ticket to success with women, as so many dateless professional comedians can attest to. Instead, you're about to discover all the true (but not always obvious) secrets to bringing a smile to a woman's face in the most attractive way possible. In particular, listen closely toward the end for a powerful 'silver bullet' that all but eliminates the dreaded 'try too hard' factor. By the way, while we're at it Elaine and I answer a voicemail from a listener who has a question that reflects the flip-side of today's topic...what to do when the woman in your life plays the 'crying card' during a disagreement.

OK, so you've got her in front of you and she seems to be attracted to you. And man, you can't wait to get your hands on her. But should you wait anyway? Or should you 'escalate kino'? It's seems like a tricky call to make, no doubt. On one hand, if you go in too early you're likely to get slapped or something. But on the other hand, if you wait too long she's going to think you lack the guts to make a move like a real man should. Well, once and for all my man Bill Preston and I do what we can to take the 'trickiness' out of figuring out when--and exactly how--to touch a woman. The truth of the matter is that women really do LOVE to have male hands all over them, and if you can read their hints all the confusion just melts away...kind of like her heart. Good stuff.

Based on the type of e-mails we get, I can tell you that most guys are straight-up making the process of approaching and meeting women WAY more complicated than it has to be. Most of us over-analyze even the idea of approaching a woman to a fault, and assuming we ever dig ourselves out from under that we then rely on a massive system of rules, sequences and 'if/then' strategies that end up just derailing us instead of helping us reach our goals. Well, here's the simple truth: Approaching and meeting women doesn't have to be NEARLY as complicated as you think. Brad and I show you the disarmingly simple reasons why--all the while discussing the finer points of why meeting women is like sales, among other things. Plus, we take a voice mail from Craig in Colorado on how to build a social circle from scratch and hit it with a big, heavy hammer.
