Better Men Get Better Women - The Mountain Top Podcast

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== There's nothing worse than approaching a woman, being on a date with her or even being in a relationship with her and you feel completely out of control. Your stress level rises, you feel emasculated and then what? You only get upset and frustrated. Well, every one of us as men has situations we CAN control, and when we focus on those it has a strange but almost magical effect on how we handle those s...

Co-Host Nicholas Velotta (https://www.mountaintoppodcast.com/arya) My first-time guest Nicholas Velotta is an intimacy researcher for a company called Arya. Arya curates sexual experiences for couples everywhere. Nicholas's IRB-approved study of over 600,000 people found about how guided erotic experiences actually affect long-term attraction and connection. What did the data from couples reveal about the specific communication gap...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== It's easy for us as men to say we'd really just like a normal, pretty average woman. After all, if you're who I call "Gen-Eric" you're wearing normal clothes, driving a normal car, working a normal job and living a normal life. So why wouldn't a woman like "Gen-Erica" who seems to match up well with you not want you? Well, that's not how it works, unfortunately. While it's definitely not about "averag...

Co-Host Dr. John DeMartini (https://mountainoppodcast.com/perceptions) It's easy to get kind of a warped perspective on our relationship with a certain woman--or women in general, really--especially if we've gone through a bit of a "dry spell" or haven't yet experienced the kind of success we'd really like. In those cases, we already know we need a whole new way of looking at things because what we're doing is openly sabotaging our...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== We all want to be our true selves in any situation, of course. But how do you head-check yourself to make sure you're presenting your real, natural self when approaching and meeting women? How about on first meetings, or those first few weeks when you're getting to know them? As it turns out, there's a sobering but potentially dead-accurate way to tell. All is revealed in this brief episode. Where do ...

Co-Host Lauren Salaun (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/essence) We talk about the masculine/feminine dance quite a bit around here, but what is the very essence of femininity? And especially, how would a woman define that herself? My first-time guest is Lauren Salaun, who is a transformational facilitator and somatic life coach. When she came to me with the idea for this show, at first it sounded a bit basic. But after 500 episodes,...

==SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== For years there has been talk about "going direct" with women. Well, how can you directly approach and talk to women while being "indirect" at the same time? Unlock that secret and open up a whole new (and easier) way to tell what a woman's interest level is, whether she has a boyfriend or not, and more...all before you get her number and tell her you want to see her again. Get the BRAND NEW report on ...

Co-Host John Kim (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/johnkim) We've had a number of guests define "love" different ways on this show. My returning guest John Kim, author of the new book Love Hard On Purpose, thinks of it as a deliberate, daily practice. Well, isn't that the same thing as love being a decision, rather than simply a feeling? We jump right in by talking about whether couples should feel guilty for being happy. John isn't ...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===Far too many men wait passively for a woman to come into the picture. And when she does, they expect her to make the first move...whether that's showing them some sort of flirtatious sign or downright approaching them first and saying "hello". In the real world, that rarely happens. As men, we lead. We make things happen. And it shouldn't feel as if we HAVE to, it should be more like we GET to. When we...

Co-Host Suzanne Noble (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/noble) My first-time guest Suzanne Noble is the host of Sex Advice For Seniors. Whatever you're thinking, forgettaboutit. She is candid, open and honest enough to make Dr. Ruth Westheimer blush. So what can a woman who's compiled over 10,000 hours of sexual activity (now Malcolm Gladwell's blushing as well) tell us about sex and relationships? Well, after bantering a bit about h...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT===People pleasers have the bad habit of trying to seek approval from everyone. Typically, talk on this subject gravitates around how people pleasers attract narcissists, which is a bad thing for sure. But there's an even darker side to this mindset and its associated behavior pattern that almost guarantees perpetual failure with women. Worse, most people pleasers have a massive blind spot. How can you fi...

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/coach) Emily joins me once again, this time for a fun-filled topic. Yes, we're talking about flirting...and flirting should indeed be fun. If it's work, drudgery, or even creepy and weird then we're not doing it right. Since women love fun, that means they also love to flirt. So what IS flirting really, anyway? And given the stereotype that sex slows down (or stops) after marriage...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Last week we talked about how men try to find a "workaround" for not being tall, good looking or rich...when the truth is we should be focusing more on what our strengths actually are. As a follow up, this week I'm covering another equally tricky prank we play on ourselves. The craziest part about this one is we hold ourselves to such strict account in this regard when considering our potential attrac...

Co-Host Brandon Wade (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/seeking) My first time guest Brandon Wade s the founder and co-CEO of Seeking.com, a dating platform he founded in 2006 after his own frustrations with modern dating and difficulty finding meaningful connection. For nearly 20 years, he has helped build and evolve Seeking around a core idea that now feels more relevant than ever: successful relationships start with honesty, intent...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== For years we've been told women want tall, rich, good-looking guys...and then given workarounds, loopholes or "quick fixes" to try to get women without having any of those traits going for us. Well, how is that working out? If not so well, this brief episode exposes the real truth. It's not that you've been lied to about not needing to have won the "genetic lottery" to get women, it's just that for al...

Co-Host Simone Milasas (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/simone) You have what's commonly known as relationships, you have situationships, and now you have creationships. The term was coined by my first-time guest Simone Milasas, who sheds some new light on some of the ideals we've held true for years now around here. Now obviously, a "creationship" should be the opposite of, say, a "destructionship", but what is it exactly? Simone e...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== Too many of us psyche ourselves out when it's time to meet a woman and invite her to spend some quality time with us. We start fearing rejection, think of the hundreds of other guys she'd probably want instead of us, and end up rationalizing our inaction. Meanwhile, sure enough...some other guy who's really no better than you ends up with her. What's he got that you don't? The truth is he probably did...

Co-Host Gabriela Rosa (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) Sure, a lot of guys fear--or even dread--fatherhood. But what if you have the right woman in your life, are finally ready to start a family with her...but can't? And it turns out the problem isn't her, it's you. My first-time guest Gabriela Rosa is a Harvard-trained fertility specialist and founder of Fertility Breakthrough, the world's first fully virtual fertility clinic. She...

===SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT=== The idea of a rite of passage from boyhood to manhood is talked about constantly in masculinity circles. Well, even though lots of other world cultures have historically had one well-defined moment when a boy comes a man, either by ritual or simple pronouncement, that certainly is not the case here in the post-modern Western world. We look around us and see way too many "man children" whose ID cards s...
