The Mountain Top - Masculine Men Get Women

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Last week's full episode was called 'The Bad Sex Survival Guide'. Well, by request, I'm following up this week with a solo-cast on how to have GREAT sex instead. After all, avoiding awkward, disgusting and painful moments in the bedroom is one thing. But isn't always more productive to focus on the positive? You bet it is...and in this case the best news ever is the golden secret to cataclysmic, toe...

Co-Host Cyndi Olin (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cyndi) Well, since this is episode 404, I figured we'd talk about something all of us would like to delete and make disappear. And even though Woody Allen infamously believes otherwise, that's BAD sex. Indeed, not all sex is GOOD sex simply because it happened. I brought along none other than my long-time friend and colleague Cyndi Olin to throw this ugly topic on the table in all ...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === It's easy to look around and see some other guy dating six or eight women, and another dude who has a great girlfriend who is exactly your type. And we all know comparison is odious. But how do you know when you've really ARRIVED at a place where you're genuinely good with women? As it turns out, there is a specific place and time you can know for sure...and the secret comes to us courtesy of a fina...

Co-Host Brian Marckesano (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/newcity) When my guest Brian Marckesano relocated to a new city for a job, he thought it would be a slam dunk to find a social circle, make new friends and date a bunch of new women. But the stone cold reality was it wasn't nearly as easy as he thought it would be. What was up with that? After all, he's a decent guy with plenty going for him. He became passionate about buildi...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Deep down all of us as men fully realize that women and men are designed to be attracted to each other, and sex is a natural result of that. So how do so many of us get wadded up over showing interest in a woman? Is the 'male gaze' truly despised by women? Do they really see sex as some sort of concession they make to men? Does that, in turn, make all sex 'rapey'? If these all seem like rhetorical q...

Co-Host Brian Ahearn (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/story) My returning guest, Brian Ahearn, has recently published His Story, My Story, Our Story; which is a memoir about his life growing up with his Marine Corps father. But this isn't yet another biography from someone who was told he 'should write a book' because his life is so interesting. Rather, like Matthew McConoghey's Greenlights, it's more FOR you than ABOUT him. In disc...

==== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === How many sex partners has a woman had? This is a HUGE question for many men, especially as they consider a woman for a long-term relationship. But what thoughts and emotions on our part drive that concern? And what is a reasonable number? Do the circumstances make any difference? And what about YOUR sexual experience...what is a woman to make of that? Most of all, what are the steps to making peace...

Co-Host Emily McKay (https://mountaintoppodcast.com) Lots of dating and relationship advice talks about how to know when you've finally met the right woman to build a long-term relationship with. And yes, by now we know the basics about attraction, 'chemistry', sexual compatibility, shared values, shared life goals, avoiding 'red flags' and every other success factor we've heard a thousand times. Nevertheless, the divorce rate rema...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === If you have 'haters', it probably only means you're standing up for a real cause and doing something right out there. Under most circumstances, you've probably been called worse names by better people than who's insulting you! But there's ONE word that has a way of cutting even strong, masculine men to their core...especially when uttered by a woman. Here's how to step up, make sure the insult is a ...

Co-Host Zan Perrion (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/zan) For this milestone 400th episode of The Mountain Top Podcast, I'm joined by my long-time friend, returning guest and Alabaster Girl author Zan Perrion from Ars Amorata. The inspiration for the topic of this show was a post in Zan's own Facebook group about so-called 'alpha widows'. An 'alpha widow' is a woman who becomes completely addicted to a certain man, and when that guy...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === We as men know that being providers of safety and security for a woman is a crucial component of the masculine/feminine dance. It actually creates sexual attraction at the primal level. But what if you're not the kind of guy who can thump potential assailants? And do we have to take bullets for her like a Secret Service agent, or something? Hint...it's mostly about you, not some thug out there. http...

Co-Host Thomas Edwards (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/wingman) A few episodes ago, my guest talked about a certain dating coach local to him in Boston who he had hired. I enjoyed the stories he told so much, that I asked him to make the introduction. And guess what? This week my guest is none other than that dating coach himself, Thomas Edwards. Not surprisingly, he and I think a lot alike on matters of dating, attraction and sedu...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === You're sitting in front of a woman for the first time who you met online. She's interesting and interested. But, realistically speaking...would you have picked her out of a crowd and chosen her as the kind of woman you're attracted to you? Or is your brain playing tricks on you again? Here's how to tell for sure from now on.

Co-Host Josh Hatcher (https://mountaintoppodcast.com.hatcher) Most of us are sick and tired of hearing about how 'toxic' or otherwise flawed we are simply for being men, let alone masculine. Josh Hatcher from Manlihood.com is on a mission not to help men 'do better', like the narrative would dictate, but go from good to great as men of virtue. The first step is to recognize that even though toxicity does exist within certain men, v...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Way too many of us as men fall into the trap of ending up with a woman who is the WRONG fit for us. Here are three different ways we can potentially let flat-out myths craft our relationship reality...almost invariably with disastrous results. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Sharlee Lyons (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/allstar) It's easy to feel 'average' as a man. After all, by definition only 50% of us can be above average. But even if you treat the term 'average' as being more synonymous with 'normal' or 'typical', we all instinctively desire to be as far ABOVE 'average' as we can be. I mean, anything with 'one-percenter' in the title is an irresistible read to us as men. My guest Sharlee L...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === The first step to gaining attraction, admiration and respect from women is to respect ourselves--and each other--as men first. There's an insidious way many of us as men undermine those objectives, even as we think we're building ourselves up. It's an 'elephant in the room' that nobody talks about...until now. https://mountaintoppodcast.com

Co-Host Adam Gamble (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/gamble) If you're looking for the episode that's just jam-packed with stories and examples you're sure to relate to, this is likely to be the one...at least if your experience with women mirrors that of most other guys like my guest and myself. You see, for most of us it's as challenging to build solid friendships with other dudes as it is to approach, attract and get the right wo...

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Most of you know I have every reason to have become bitter and jaded toward women. Here's my olive branch to those of you who have decided women aren't worth it, even to the point of going your own way. I ain't mad atcha. https://mountaintoppodcast.com
